This new bow suit design consists of three main parts.
1)
The force multiplying lever, 2) the compression spring 3)
the foot lever.
Operation of Lever Press Bow Suit involves strapping
feet
into the boots connected to the foot levers. Standing in
an
upright position, and reaching
for the force multiplying
lever handles above your head. Hanging from the levers
allows gravity to compress the compression spring.
Once the compression springs are compressed, and your
body is in a crouched position, push off on the foot
levers
while still hanging from the force multiplying levers.
This action will actuate Lever Press Bow Suit, launching
the wearer. Upon landing, hanging from the force
multiplying levers will again compress the springs with
the
force of your falling weight and gravity. Alternating
lever
compression allows for a running gait.
Visually, the Lever Press Bow Suit foot lever protrudes at
approximately 45 degrees for about a meter behind the
wearer where it meets at a joint with the force
multiplying
lever. The weight of this mechanism slightly counter-
balances the wearer. The compression spring is found
between this
joint.
