      Well he would need a double acting cylinder for that so he would have to make a new one a cheaper solution is making the feet larger as it currently has a low area to land on and as you can tell he tends to land on the edge of the panel so bigger feet would help a lot

      @@randomname4726 the shoes as they are now might be harder to land with, but the force of a jump 1 foot higher than normal being transferred into the piston over some time probably beats it going into the bottom of your feet all at once, at least I think so

    The most iffy part is the landing. When the bottom part is extended and lands first Allen always falls forward or to different sides with his feet respectively.

    I think you could furth increase their jumpiness by:
    using springs to retract the pistons, they dont have to be very strong but strong enough to retract the piston once the pressure depleted.
    adding an earlier gas bleed and buffer at the end of travel to the jerking of the piston doesnt skew your airial direction
    using a trigger that responds to when you put more than your body weight into your shoes (aka you start to jump, increasing the weight that is put on your soles.)

    Neat. Two changes I would make here. One, have a pressure sensor mounted on the bottom somewhere, or maybe under the toes of the boots, such that when there is little to no pressure on it (and the safety is off), it triggers the pistons. If you dial that in well, they should basically go off automatically at the point where they would best maximize the jump, at, before, or after when your feet are no longer pressing down on the ground (whichever turns out to be optimal). The second thing I would do is add plates to the bottom of the piston, a flat portion in the middle, and then a hinged "toe" and "heel" that will compress, but also resist compression a bit, trying to return to a flat plane. I would think that would be much smoother to land on than just a straight bar across the instep.

    Allen... you are extremely limiting your jumping power by dumping all the Co2 at once, also the solenoids are restricting the pressure. this is because these Co2 cartridges are meant to slowly release gas, which means that most of the actual gas is turning into dry ice inside of the cartridge. Hope this info helps and maybe you can make another video fixing these issues.

      He really did, and technically use it in that manner too. Although, he should really secure the tubes to the boot so they're able to transmit full power, and instead of it being unstable and flat in one direction, to follow a more general shape of his foot. Then have it to where when landing, the air can be sent into a different set of tubes that have some flow control through disc and holes like they use for mountain bikes.

    Could you put some light springs working against the plate extension so that they retract by themselves while in the air. The force of the air canisters will be so large that the springs won't remove too move force, but will be enough force to move the plates back into place while in the air.

    @nerdkernels3398 Рік тому +4

    Keep going! This seems like a promising prototype! Sticking the landing in those seems to be quite challenging. If you were to continue, I would start there somehow. Perhaps a different shape on the bottom rather than a bar since you tend to fall forward or back if you don't land perfectly straight. Also a self reloading mechanism could help, although you it would have to be light as to not make the boots too heavy and sacrifice jump height. I can't wait to see more of these!

    Now make bars retract once you have been pushed up so that you can land on your shoes instead of tumbling over because bars are all the way out and you can keep on jumping. Heck I bet this could be used to run much much faster once you learn how to run with such force propelling forward lol.
