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.

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.
