INVENTION AWARDS: The Flying Belt

[heineken1956]

Because precise communication is vital to any dangerous activity such as this, you should not say rappel "up" a wall. Rappeling is controlled descent' not ascent.

[AIgernon]

F minus.

[RiSe1993]

totally spies

[jplastow]

seems a bit more than a belt

[arbighookasian]

we call that a winch., invented by fat lazy boys

[JAMESMc00100]

what is this bull sh*t

[dojomojomofo]

I could make this video with normal climbing equipment, a digital camera, and some motor noises...

[toxic996]

wannabe fucking stop motion?

[dirtTdude]

nice video quality

[toolboox]

THIS VID SUCKS...WHAT A CRAP...

[StabbyMcButterPants]

I have this exact same invention, but I use it to haul my fat ass onto the toilet for a midnight dump. :O

[ChocolateOfTheOrient]

wow nice laggy ass video try truning off your auto focus and auto light

[roidroid]

yeah i have no idea why no-one else is mentioning how lagy this video is.

It's less than 1 frame per second!

Are we watching the same video?!

What is everyone raving about? THIS VIDEO DOESN'T SHOW SHIT.

It's less than 1 frame per second!

[JulesPuddyCat]

The ice looks like moon craters.

[gumpydoood]

Unintended consequences. Theives will love this thing.

[YourFriendGrego]

In regards to GrapeOwns: ha!

[ziggassedup]

i hope they didn't leave all that shit behind!!!!...lol.

[andrewbnkjv]

one sexy machine.

[GrapeOwns]

And it was then, just then, that these kids discovered that they had become Batman.

And damn did they feel special.

HOLY ASCENT, BATMAN

Now they just need to get it to where it doesn't need to be preinstalled to the area.

Mix this with a grappling hook, and you got Superhero gold.

[drmojo99]

HOLY BATBELT!!!

[BluDic]

Ok....

so a belt attached winch...

AND.....?

Hasn't this already been invented?

Seems kinda obvious.

[graffitize]

reverse it - and you will have a personal elevator with which to SAVE lives : eg. from tall buildings on fire. Be a super-hero then you will be...

[voidbloodyvoid]

NOT ONLY Can we use this device for war... but there are applications for war situations, and battle conditions aswell.

oh and america can commit war attrocities with much greater ease during war time war acticities.

oh and war.

[rocketcane]

na na nana na na na na bat man bat man

[sammywhiskas]

whatever next man made machines which can fly and transport people all round the worlds for holiday.

[iykist]

Thats a plane

[mypanida]

it is also called a winch or a pulley.....hahaha

keep it up, cheers.........

[lundwed]

@mypanida a winch wraps cables around a rod, this is not a winch

[vw77]

Whipdee doo, it's a geared high- torque motor with some LiPoly batteries.

It's a great invention and all, but not a break through in my opinion.

[STOPnTHINK]

wow , you ppl actually seem to not know that a small box with an electrical motor having high torque with low gears and a spindle off the shaft be used to pull you up a hill?... and you would ban such a thing from civil market? LAWL! Batman had one ;) anyways keep up the good job guys ;)

[EUMP]

Will it be on public sale or Private sale such as Military, Rescue Services?

[shortattentionspan1]

Hmm ... is this the first prototype? looks like it needs refining, like speed control and a controlled reverse - In the printed magazine it liiked so cool - here it looks plain dangerous.

[yokachen]

no, this is only the latest prototype at the time of the popsci interview.
