    Resonance Propulsion: Using EM Waves to Induce Movement

    you're probably right. But I wonder if there is a way to use mechanical resonance of materials to induce propulsion.

    Resonance Propulsion: Using EM Waves to Induce Movement

    theoretically you would pulse the EM wave to be "in phase" with the oscillations, striking the molecular bonds at the moment during the oscillation when the material is moving away from the EM wave. This, in theory, would move the entire oscillating material forward.

    Resonance Propulsion: Using EM Waves to Induce Movement

    Here's a weird idea: solid materials each have an inherent, but potentially modifiable mechanical resonance frequency. Step 1- energize the material mechanically by inducing vibration (ie. increasing the amplitude of occillations). Step 2- strike the material intermittently with an intense...

    Air Compression Shoes: A New Idea

    The goal is to capture the energy of impact with the ground and channel it at appropriate time to produce forward propulsion. Goals: energy efficiency, improved athletic performance. Magnets are too heavy, dangerous and their strength decreases by orders of magnitude with tiny changes in...

    Air Compression Shoes: A New Idea

    I haven't figured out the details, but the pressurized air in the forefoot chamber could potentially return to the hind foot chamber via a one way air valve or be released, triggered by the straightening of the foot/shoe mid-air.

    Air Compression Shoes: A New Idea

    I had an idea for a type of shoe similar yet different from air Nike, and I would appreciate some comments. A hind foot air chamber would be compressed upon a runners foot strike ( with a force up to three times body weight). The air would be pushed through a one way valve into a rigid mid...

    Special Repelling Magnet Shoes

    The problem I'm running into as you may have guessed is that the weight and strength of the magnets required to produce any significant displacement of an average human body are prohibitive. The n52 magnets would be dangerously strong, and the negative effect of much heavier shoes may outweigh...

    Special Repelling Magnet Shoes

    Great idea I accidentally saw this post and I have been planning the same project. I wonder if you have had any success? Although you are not creating new energy using these magnets, I think the springlike effect of opposing magnets could lead to greater energy efficiency in running. There...
