Flying on the Ground (is Fun) | |
A set of “wings” that is worn on the arms, that are tapered
so
as to be aerodynamic, but only when moving forwards. The
idea is to use them as fins to push yourself through the air
while you run, thus realizing a speed boost as well as
putting
your arms to good use. They won't let you fly,
but they
might
let you achieve superhuman running speeds.

Huh? It'd be like swimming. You can swim faster using
your arms and legs together, or by wearing fins on your
feet. Same concept. |

Imagine you're running, and you're trying to do the
breaststroke through the air as you run. Doesn't do a
whole lot. But if you had giant fins on your arms that
caught the air as you moved them backwards, and cut
through it as you moved them forwards, you could
actually get some traction against the air and use it to
increase your speed. |

the reason why no one makes these is that then we
would have to deal with the whole issue of that this
was where the wrights would have gone if alexander
graham bell had not sued wilbur to death and started
ww1 and 2 in the process. who wants to deal with
that? |
