Walk on Water?

Walking on water isn’t that hard – provided it is frozen. Walking on water when it is actually in liquid form requires some divine power or the right technology. Uriel Arad of Los Angeles has launched a Kickstarter campaign to find backers for his Aqua Elliptica, a device that makes walking on water not only possible but also makes it part of a workout routine. The primary construction of his design is a catamaran arrangement with two feet supporting a platform on the surface of the water.

If the campaign is successful Arad hopes to go into production this summer, with the final version utilizing carbon fiber and Kevlar. So it would be water ready and rugged. Video after the jump

Strange Story of the Week: Walk on Water

httpv://youtu.be/lh8MiSmk-to

We heard about 35year old Chris Todd, who has reportedly attempted to “walk” across the 66 miles of open sea from Wales to Ireland. Since walking on water is impossible – except for the frozen variety – Todd opted to try on a giant hamster wheel raft dubbed the Tredalo.

As the video above shows it didn’t go as planned. Todd made it about 26 miles after about eight and half hours before abandoning as the craft encountered rubber problems. While we don’t see this as (Mis)shift we wonder what would possess anyone to undertake such a journey across the Irish Sea. Sometimes because it is there or because they can is the only answer they need give.
