Isn't it strange, with the wonderful running and leaping 26 capabilities of all kinds of animals, that there are still no machines to get you from 27 here to there on legs? Why not?</p> 28 <p>The answer is surprisingly simple: Our bodies are so well designed 29 that it has taken 200 years of human engineering to catch up. Even 30 with advanced materials and power sources, our technology has not been 31 capable of building a simple running vehicle until now. The revolutionary capability of our human powered model is proof-in-principle for the 32 SpringWalker concept. It demonstrates for the first time an energy recovery system with 33 the control and flexibility required to enhance the human running gait. </p> 34 <p>We are presently developing a servo power system to 35 advance SpringWalker technology to the next level. The personal vehicle 36 for the 21st century will have you trotting four-minute miles without tiring 37 and scrambling up a mountain like an ATV. 38 Look for this and more as our work progresses. When can I get one? <a href="demounits.html">Electric powered demonstration units</a> will be available on a custom basis 39 once the servo technology is validated, and a <a href="springpoweredkits.html">spring-powered kit</a> may also be offered.</p> 40 <p>You may already have seen our prototype in action on television.
