has been revived and I will be posting regular updates of this project and others! please check it out and subscibe to be notified! :D
About the Boots:
As with all instructables here's a little back story.
A few months back, I saw a pair of bionic boots online, and they quickly went viral for their ability to run 25 MPH, and of course I instantly wanted to try them out, but the sale price of these things were astronomical. Seriously.
I concluded I must build my own. I was on a budget, so I wanted it to cost less then £50. Cheaper than most boots you can find on the high street, and also allows a sixteen year old to use all of his paper round money...
This project did take overall of 2 months of a few hours a day of work, before the fine tuning started to show through. Patience is a must with this project.
Weeks of research and hundreds of scribbled designs later, I stripped it all back to the principles. The mechanical design appeared pretty simplistic. I am also working without a welder, so that it caters for those who, like me, do not have a welder but still want to make this. Welding would make things faster and easier, but whats fun about no challenges?
Important! please note: This Instructable is based on my body size & weight. You will need to adjust to your body size and weight accordingly! It is easily possible but must be taken in to consideration! When bolting pieces together keep the head of the bolt facing inwards and the shaft pointing away from the body.
Also, should you decide to undertake this project, as with all major wearable items such as this, there is a risk. I cannot be held responsible for any injury you may sustain as a result of this project. Before running, please try in a safe place with people to assist. They take a while to learn to use, even after making them, so take your time and test safely!
so here it is:
With their wide, springy gait, ostriches can reach speeds of 40mph (70 km/h), covering up to 16ft (5 metres) in a single stride.
As a child, Keahi Seymour was fascinated by what appeared to be the effortless speed and agility of these creatures, making them the fastest running birds on the planet.
Now the San Francisco-based inventor has created a prototype gadget that he claims will allow humans to experience what it’s like to reach these incredible speeds.

Dubbed the ‘Bionic Boot’, the shoes have springs on the back designed to imitate the Achilles tendon of an ostrich or kangaroo, giving the wearer more down force when running.
Mr Seymour has been working on the boots for several years, and has already produced dozens of prototypes.

Last month, he took his Bionic Boots to the Maker Faire in New York to demonstrate its capabilities.
In its current form, the device can reach speeds of up to 25 mph (40 km/h) – or the same speed as a slow-moving car.

APP-CONTROLLED 3D PRINTED LIMBS ARE GOING MAINSTREAM
3D-printed limbs and hands controlled by apps becoming mainstream 3D-printed limbs and hands controlled by apps becoming mainstream
Gone are the days of solid rubber prosthetics.
From 3D-printed limbs to titanium legs and hands controlled by apps, advances in technology are revolutionising the industry.
Earlier this year, a new state-of-the-art centre has opened in Scotland to give specialist treatment to military amputees - taking advantage of these developments, and making the technology more mainstream.
The service is based at the WestMARC unit at Southern General Hospital, and at the SMART Centre in Edinburgh.

Patients in Aberdeen, Inverness and Dundee will be able to access services via video link-up.
The units will run alongside the existing NHS prosthetics service, and use specialist prosthetic training and imaging equipment to manufacture new socket technology.
The centre also features a gait laboratory that will study how well patients are walking with their new limbs.

According to PopSci, Mr Seymour says won’t rest until he can go faster and outrun some of Earth’s fastest land animals.
And he isn’t the first to attempt the gait of an ostrich or kangaroo. For instance the £166 ($265) bouncing boots claims to turn anyone into a human kangaroo.
The ‘Kangoo Jumps’ are fastened like roller blades or ski boots, with quick-release buckles.
Once they’re on, you need to do a little march on the spot to get yourself used to the sensation, which feels rather like jogging on a trampoline.
Featuring a spring-loaded sole, the mini-trampolines were initially invented to help people recover from sports injuries by taking away the impact of running on their joints.
But now they’re being sold as a way of enjoying all the benefits of a tough gym or aerobics workout.

The Kangoo Jumps were featured in the hit reality TV show Made In Chelsea when two of the glossy young stars, Binky Felstead and Cheska Hull, were filmed jogging in them beside the River Thames
