This is a human-body-support-structure that will support
an
upright human body by balancing on three points at the
end of robotic arms, and letting the human hang off the
support structure, with their feet not quite dangling
above
the ground, you could tweak the amount of weight you
would
want to give the user, so that the human no
longer
has the need to balance and has effectively become
weightless in two dimensions and with a friction-less
connection to the ground.
This human, suspended above an ice rink, in a hollow
zamboni-like structure, hangs suspended just at the ice's
surface, and gently pushes their skates against the ice in
lazy zig zags and swirls.
Dutch wheelchair users could use these vehicles as
adaptive
ice-wheel-chairs that could allow ice skaters with
physical
disabilities to swerve hundreds of miles along the canals
of
their country.
The zamboni would also repave the surrounding ice by
using a heat laser to melt and refreeze ice down to
nanometer specifications.
It doesn't have to be electronic robotic, it can be made
of meta-materials.

It's a type of Sicilian sausage made from pork and
olives, usually served thinly sliced on bread. |

No you're thinking of zambini. A Zamboni is a kind of upright trombone with an extra valve for E flat. |

No, I think its a zombie trombonist in Zanzibar.
Either that or an exotic animal from 'On Beyond
Zebra.' |

Hey! Jes was Jewish!! - Why not give some kosher ideas?
This wasn't isn't so I can't vote for it. :-( |

//Hey! Jes was Jewish!! // |

Say what??? I thought the whole point was that Jesus
invented religion, and then created the earth on
Sunday before turning the loaves into fishes? So, it
follows that there can't have been a Jewish for him
to be. Surely you mean that Jews are Jesish? |
|
| |
Seriously, dude, it's high time that religion got all this
stuff sorted out properly. |

^ Nahh, so knock yourself out. Is it battery powered, just out of interest? |

SP vertical. The vertical Zambezi allowed anti-aircraft gunners to play and watch the sky for dive-bombers at the same time. |
