Rocket Boots

These "Rocket Boots" allow you to "run at 25 miles per hour and take strides of 12 feet." Plus, it "can also use biofuels, such as biodiesel, vegtable oil, SVO, waste vegtable oil (WVO)." Videos after the jump.
The boots were created by a russian scientist Viktor Gordeyev. Each boot includes a single diesel cylinder which is powered by diesel fuel

They look slow and and like they kill momentum gained from arm movement while running, but they look awfully fun to use. Argh. Why do videos never have the max speed demonstration.

Is it just me or arent those terrible boots that apeared on that Lame ass Super Mario Bros Movie from 1993??? It looks fun to use but both videos made me think about that movie and I almost puked my desk here... Somethings are better left forgotten... Not this "Jump Boots" or "Rocket Boots"... But the movie... Urgh...

Seems like the dude is just barely in control. I was expecting him to run that guy over in the couryard in the second video. I too would have like to seen a full speed demo.

Very similar products have already been developed that use the downward kinetic enegery to propel the wearer upward by storing the energy in springs and gas compression. This is the first I have seen that requires an external fuel source. Not only was the lack of control present, but now you have a small fuel source or potentially a bomb attached to your leg... let's see you try to explain that to airport security, lol.
