The purpose of this idea is to eliminate the need for an actual
conventional treadmill. Although an inclined surface is
probably needed, that is the only similarity to a conventional
treadmill.
This idea is for a shoe attachment, which includes wheels
lining most of the bottom of the shoe.
People would just walk
and walk.
Another option exists for eliminating the need for an inclined
surface: include motors and batteries. This would be a motor-
driven pair of roller skates, permanently in reverse. It would
be programable for set distances and speeds like a regular
treadmill.
Benefits include: less power consumption, less space taken for
treadmill, you can take it with you (portability).

Inclined? Inclined to what? They're in free-fall. |

Not if they're accelerating. Or if someone has recently farted in a specific direction, mind you. Anyways, the reverse rollerskating version isn't going to save as much energy, I think. Also, the design is going to have to be impressive. People shift forces in numerous directions when they walk, allowing for a number of potential angles with which to gain momentum. Your wheels will have to be on pivots, or resemble those cool vacuum cleaner balls where the thing rolls on a big ball rather than wheels. Anyways, it's almost baked by rollerblades. |

Oh hey, funny joke I heard the other day: What's the hardest part about rollerblading?...
Telling your parents that you're gay.
And I heard that from a gay man so I'm pretty sure I can say it too, right? |

Hey, I rollerblade and my wife rollerblades, does that mean our daughter will be gay too? |
|

is that "daughter" or " "daughter" " ?
