Bionic Boots. Or how to run at the Olympic speeds using high-tech

"Faster, higher, stronger!" - Now everyone who shod in Bionic Boots can put an Olympic record in running. And even challenge the primacy with professional athletes like Usain Bolt.

Bionic Boots - a high-tech shoes, which can allow a person without a major effort to reach a speed of 25 miles per hour (40 km / h). This rate is typical for the slow movement of the car. For comparison: Usain Bolt, the fastest man in the world, set a record 27, 44 miles per hour (44 km / h), while its average speed is 37, 58 km / h.





Bionic Boots - the brainchild of inventor from San Francisco Kehi Seymour . At a recent event, Maker Faire, which was held in New York, he has demonstrated the capabilities of its latest version of Bionic Boots.

Kehi gadget working on for several years, has produced dozens of prototypes in the process of the invention. On a personal website , Kehi Seymour, calls his invention transport devaysom 21st century.



Bionic Boots designed using the principles found in the fast moving land animals. With maximum efficiency and agility of technology literally helps to push forward on huge man skorostyah.Chelovek - is the slowest of all the two-legged creature, but Kehi not want to put up with it. Of course, people are smarter than everyone else, but at one hundred meters ostrich or kangaroo easily overtake us. And the reason for this lies in the slowness of the Achilles tendon.

The basis was laid Bionic Boots artificially-created Achilles tendon fastest two-legged in the world - ostriches. Kehi early childhood was inspired by the speed and agility of terrestrial birds. With their wide, springy gait, ostriches can reach speeds up to 70 km / h.



Ultra light shoes have innovative technology, they are made from aircraft-grade aluminum, springs, and carbon fiber composite exoskeleton without weighing legs owner and literally pushing forward at every step.

In ordinary shoes, a large amount of energy absorbed stupnёy man when it comes in contact with the ground. Thus, a person loses due to Achilles tendon almost all the energy. And this energy goes nowhere. Bionic Boots fix this fact, by the influence of springs and elastic mechanism, as if pushing the feet off the ground. As a result, the energy is not only preserved, but also added.

To improve his invention Kehi plans to add the drive, which, in conjunction with the springs will allow a person to work at speeds close to 45 miles per hour and make it a bionic invention in the full sense of the word.

Ordinary people, not athletes run on the same speeds as Usain Bolt without much effort - it sounds amazing! But Kehi not satisfied - he says that he would not rest until he creates shoes that will be ahead of some land animals on the planet.
