Everyone will have heard of The Six Million Dollar Man who could run extremely fast and was just a blur on the TV screens. Now bartender Keahi Seymour has designed his bionic boots, and they allow him to run at 24 MPH.

Man Invents Bionic Boots Allowing Him To Run 24 MPH

While this is nowhere close to the speed of the six million dollar man or Usain Bolt for that matter, it is fast. The top speed of Bolt is 27 MPH, and he does not need special boots, and he is the fastest man in the world. An ostrich can beat all three as it can run up to speeds of 43 miles per hour. However, the boots invented by Seymour do make him faster than most people.

Man Is Second Fastest To Usain Bolt

Seymour showed off his bionic boots at the World’s Fair Nano 2017, and they were shown alongside many other gadgets that were incredible by everyday inventors. The videoshows the man and his boots in action, and when you get over the transitions of Movie Maker, you will see that they are incredible and their maneuverability is superb. They allow the wearer to slide, come to a stop easily enough and can even hold their grip when walking and running on loose soil.

One thing that does look strange is the posture of Seymour when he is running, and this cannot be all that comfortable. However, the boots certainly help him to gain speed and almost match the fastest man in the world, Usain Bolt.

X-17 Bionic Boots Marketed As Fitness Equipment

At the moment the bionic boots have the name of the X-17 model, and they are being put onto the market as a piece of fitness equipment. From what can be seen in the video the guy should have strong thigh muscles. Of course, there may be many other suitable uses for the bionic boots. For instance, perhaps they could be used out in space on Mars to help astronauts move around faster on the ground. They might be used in sports and perhaps law enforcement might use them to chase after the bad guys.

The bionic boots are a big step forward in helping humans to run faster, and they are among many other inventions that people are creating in their garages, including robotic exoskeletons and brain-computer interfaces. All of which takes us one step closer to the crowdsourced cyborgs.
