Bionic Boots!

Bionic Boots!: Edit: My youtube channel; https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCahMWRQFS99E3uV7f...has been revived and I will be posting regular updates of this project and others! please check it out and subscibe to be notified! :DAbout the Boots:As with all instruct…

My favorite comment here is from a guy who says he’s working with Keahni Seymour, and had some tips: 

-use speargum=smoother run -don't use usual steel. Keashis boots are made of carbon and t6 alloy aluminium. I am on a budget, too, so I used wood(old bed). -make the tips of the shoes bent, so you run "on your toes" -best to start from are a pair of used inline-skates

He said he would post his own instructable later, but the comment is five years old, so either he posted it elsewhere or something happened.

“The evolution of the Bionic Boot: Prototypes, 2005-2014 (Keahi Seymour)”

What it’s like to pursue a dream for 30 years — and fail

For every successful, hot-selling invention, there are a million others that don’t make it. But what does ‘failure’ really mean?

There was another article I posted earlier that talked about the legal/financial issues facing Ekso Bionics when they didn’t have a giant corporate structure helping them stay afloat. This looks like a story with the same flavor.

Bartender by night, maker and tinkerer by day, Keahi Seymour has invented a transport design that uses the energy created by running naturally and amplifies his run speed up to 25 mph.

Basically these look like an upgrade to the classic jumping stilts! Which is pretty neat.

Now I want to know what kind of studies there are comparing these together, because there’s some obvious differences (leaf spring VS--elastic? Those are essentially rubber cables, right?), and I’m curious if the only difference is the material used for the elasticity. We can also see a linkage here, but does that really help with the speed? And if it does, how? Being able to kick off from the ground affects the running motion, but those boots don’t make it look like the ankle can contribute to the running process the way it naturally would.

So this design is a future design of @friskandmisc​ ‘s Frisk. She has been roleplaying with us in town and we were discussing Else and the sorts of things he would do for her.

Else is sort of determined to do whatever it takes to help protect his friends and family. So he has been working on gadgets and such to help them become more effective in a fight and feel more helpful.

For Frisk he designed a pair of gloves, one glove can light on fight with the snap of her fingers and she can throw this fire of direct it for life giving purposes, the other glove has healing nanites within the fibers that have small doses of restorative magic inside as well as the capability to suture small wounds and assist in healing the damaged area if someone were to be injured.

And for the boots. Actually the boots were based off a really cool boot called the bionic boot >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5V356k-9a8 

These real life boots give humans the agility and speed of an ostrich. I simply made a more portable design.

The Bionic Boot: Want to get superhuman powers? Bionic limbs might be the answer, however they are still a long way from being a reality. Except for the bionic boot which is here and it allows the user to run and jump faster than ever before. http://www.scientificalhamster.com/8819/
