People Powered Transportation: Spiderman Edition

2010 June 30

Today on my way to work I was listening to the radio (94.7 if you’re interested), and I heard the morning DJ, Greg, talking about a 13-year old student at Cambridge University (yes, you read that right!) who developed his own suit using vacuums. Check out this youtube video of him walking on a wall!

Fun as this looks, I’m not into testing proto-types myself. I’m gonna wait till  releases one =)  In the meantime, go little Hibiki, go!

PS. Hibiki is obviously a professional, so don’t try this at home….

    He could probably make it to the the top if he had an extension cord.

    I question how sustainable this solution really is…when would we need to scale a building? I guess when the ice caps melt and the world is flooded…
