Bionic Boots. Or how to run at Olympic speeds using high technology
“Faster, higher, stronger!”, - now anyone who is shod in Bionic Boots can set an Olympic record for running. And even challenge the championship with such professional athletes as Usain Bolt.
Bionic Boots are high-tech footwear that can allow a person to reach a speed of 25 miles per hour (40 km / h) without significant efforts. This speed is typical for slow car movement. For comparison: Usain Bolt, the fastest man in the world, set a record of 27.44 mph (44 km / h), while his average speed is 37.58 km / h.

Bionic Boots - the brainchild of an inventor from San Francisco Cahey Seymour . At a recent Maker Faire event in New York, he demonstrated the capabilities of his latest version of Bionic Boots.
Kehi has been working on the gadget for several years now, releasing dozens of prototypes in the process of invention. On his personal website , Kehi Seymour, calls his invention a transport device of the 21st century.
Bionic Boots are designed using principles found in the movement of fast land animals. With maximum efficiency and dexterity, technology literally helps push a person forward at tremendous speeds. A person is the slowest creature of all two-legs, but Kehi does not want to put up with it. Of course, people are smarter than everyone, but on the one hundred meter mark, an ostrich or a kangaroo easily overtakes us. And the reason for this slowness lies in the Achilles tendon.
The basis of Bionic Boots was laid artificially-created Achilles tendon of the fastest bipeds on Earth - ostriches. From early childhood, kahi was inspired by the speed and agility of these land birds. With their broad, springy gait, ostriches can reach speeds of up to 70 km / h.
Ultra lightweight boots have innovative technology, they are made of aviation aluminum, springs, and carbon fiber composite exoskeleton, without weighing down the wearer's feet and literally pushing forward at each step.
In ordinary shoes, a large amount of energy is absorbed by the foot of a person when it comes into contact with the ground. Thus, a person loses almost all energy due to the Achilles tendon. And this energy goes nowhere. Bionic Boots correct this fact by the influence of springs and elastic mechanism, as if pushing the legs off the ground. As a result, energy is not only conserved, but also added.
To improve his invention, Kehi plans to add a drive that, in combination with springs, will allow a person to work at speeds close to 45 miles per hour and make his invention bionic in the full sense of the word.
Ordinary people, not athletes, running at the same speeds as Usain Bolt without much effort - sounds amazing! But Kehi is not satisfied - he says that he will not rest until he creates shoes in which it will be possible to stay ahead of some land animals on our planet.
