Saigak Power Boots

View 2 Images

Power Boots, also known as Saigak boots after a type of antelope, are a quirky example of human augmentation intended to limit the muscular exertion required to run rather than produce superhuman speed. Small tanks on the side of the titanium and aluminum frame boots hold enough fuel to cover a distance of approximately 20km, and they also deliver a sensation of flight to the wearer, according to inventor Viktor Gordeyev from the University at Ufa in the Southern Urals.
