That first pair of shoes is really cool, it's like roller blading without needing roller blading skills. I'm just a bit disappointed that it runs on batteries, I was hoping it would get power from the walking movement.
In order for walking to recharge them, they would have to *take* energy from your step instead of adding to it. Imagine walking on a reverse conveyor belt for an hour. It wouldn't be an efficient transfer of power so it would be a huge detriment over a long distance, not to mention the ~5 lbs added to your feet that's effectively doubled by the walking action.
@@sandwhichdestroyer12 yeah but the shoes have nothing to do with ai it’s like saying I have a ai toster and then it’s just a slightly more fancy toaster
I love the mind blowing effect the speed shoes have on the eye because of the super casual pace his legs are moving but the ground that's being covered is vast
At first I thought they store energy from your walk and the rolling making it more efficient like skates, but apparently they provide some stored electrons.
Great video and awesome running to the ginger ninja. I was inspired by Russ's effort to have a look at what Yiannis Kouros did back in the day when he ran some ultramarathon races in Australia. His 1000 mile 10.5 day effort is unbelievable. His insane endurance is shown when he was finishing a full day ahead of 2nd place in the Sydney to Melbourne races 1985-1990.
@@mohetnt because a car had to follow him for hours on end whilst he was at a slow pace and then he probably had to explain to them they had to wait for him to charge shoes and the whole time they were escorting him to beat the guy who was alongside him the whole time. Not meant to be a mean comment or anything btw :)
because roller blades would still be a nightmare up hill, and there is still a level of physical excertion which in that heat at that distance wouldnt help. the point of the shoes is it reduces the physical aspect which is the only advantage zac has.
you might also want to try putting on a dnsys x1 exoskeleton. its basically the worlds first ai exoskeleton made for consumers and shows pretty promising results towards its actual useability so far.
to make it real i literally got into minecraft pocket edition signed in created a new world grabbed and ate a chicken with the video running in the background lol
I mean, I knew he was going to beat you from the start, but that’s your first marathon, man. You can be proud of that, even if you cheated your way through it. Now, you just have to spend the next few years in pain and you’ll get to his level, kind of. Cheers.
