Man Could Walk On Water!

For centuries, people flooded the idea of walking on water. It may have inspired nature, where there are 1,200 species of animals that walk on water. Small animals such as insects and spiders using surface tension to 'hold' water molecules and make them float. However, as quoted from lifeslittlemysteries, larger animals somewhat more difficult to do so. According to the publication "Annual Review of Fluid Dynamics', people can actually walk on water when running with the speed of 108 km per hour, almost as fast as a cheetah. World's fastest man, Usain Bolt of Jamaica, only able to travel 37.8 km per hour speed on the number of sprint 100 meters at World Championships 2009.

However, the limits of the human body does not make us stop dreaming. In the last 40 years, someone has patented more than 50 devices run on water. So even could not walk on water alone, we can outsmart. According to the applied mathematician Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), John Bush, this device works in two ways. Namely increase buoyancy, or use the power of dynamic lift. Most devices that have been patented and took a classic design-owned pontoon ski da Vinci designed to increase buoyancy. The rest use a lightweight buoyant material, such as Styrofoam or wood. On the other hand, dynamic lifts require external forces acting on the human body. "A force needed to pull the body in the direction parallel to the surface of the water," said Bush. The principle is also working on this airplane wings, boat motor can be seen when someone pulled along the surface of the water. Imagine skiing with bare feet. If the slope of the right foot, the water flowing through the body effectively and lift barefoot surfers who were out of the water.
