I Built Shoes To Make Me Run Fast! (World Record) 

This channel is where it's at!!! Love the story telling through the problem solving process!

Thanks for letting me be part of this epic video!! 🙌

Let’s just appreciate how fast Olympians can sprint. Epic invention as always.

If his videos don't inspire you I don't know what will. It's good how he shows those hard moments when you doubt yourself, overcome it and succeed

When he was in that weight room testing the teflon shoes it legit looks like a hero trying to figure out their tech

This is amazing, and it honestly makes Usain's speed that much more impressive. Not just because he went that fast, but as this shows, reaching that speed is only half the battle. Holding that speed consistently and without falter is the most impressive thing honestly.

"I tore my arachnophobia", has got to be my new favourite excus for losing a run :D

This channel is insane, I was grinning the whole way through this video. Science and engineering aren't usually my areas of interest, but JLazer makes it so freaking cool. I love seeing all the ups and downs of the process and the way he explains everything. These guys are amazing.

He looked so fast at the end, I can’t believe there’s actually people out there that can run that fast

I can only imagine Usain bolt being like *look what they have to do to mimic a fraction of our power*

"look at what they need to mimic a fraction of our power" -Usain Bolt-

You can improve these "shoes with jets" by placing some springs inside of the shoes. That way you can keep sliding and gain a good height so you will use less force for running and probably more speed then Bolt.

I’ve had an idea similar to this before, but instead of the thrust being attached to your arms, it’s attached to your waist on a belt. That way the thrust is also pushing more on your center of mass. You’d need to angle the thrusters at a slightly upward angle to keep them from pushing you into the ground.

this justs shows how crazy Bolt was at his prime, even with 12 super powered jets and shoes the slide, they only just beat him.

This is what happens when you're a RU-vidr, an engineer, inventor, and a 6 year old kid at heart.

That’s was pretty cool , could see it working by a backpack type deal managed by a button or something so u could run more freely?

I like how he just builds stuff that seem cool like how he said something a kid would think of, his builds are so interesting just because they are so out of the ordinary

Bro said "When things explode that's when we call it a day''🤣🤣🤣 can't get enough of it.

can we just appreciate how fast running 17mph is? that is already amazing!

Watching this channel feels like watching a superhero in their early stages testing new gadgets I love it

Underrated aspect of this is how scary it must be to go damn near 30mph on slippery shoes and jets for hands. Thats like double the speed I go on a bike

Love the recent vids with this build! The jets rock.

This looked so cool! The potential for this channel is insane

"Look at what they need to mimic a fraction of our power!" - Usain Bolt

Suggestion: fans at the wrists, pointing toward the shoulder. you can bend your arms at 90 degrees and have the thrust pushing directly behind. It would also allow you to point your wrists up at about 45 degrees while running, to get some lift for longer strides. easier on your rotator cuffs, too.

Epic video! Thanks for the show!!!

I'm soo glad I found this channel its a really nice combination of funny guys fooling around and also really interesting ingenuity, it reminds me of my friends and I. really inspirational

You teach us not to quit I can’t imagine how hard it is to elevate ur content for us but u keep doing it and u never stop until u make it right

Nobody: Jlaser: Wheels would be cheating Also Jlaser: uses high powered leaf blower to give him speed

Probably best video of jlaservideo cause interms effort,paying,entertainment,character,duration,lessons is just perfect

U inspire so much... Putting ideas into action

This is amazing, and it honestly makes Usain's speed that much more impressive. Not just because he went that fast, but as this shows, reaching that speed is only half the battle. Holding that speed consistently and without falter is the most impressive thing honestly. 1

Suggestion for improvement: add gyroscopes and exo bones to fix your arms in just the right angle so the jets both provide consistently enough uplift force for big steps and forward force to push you forward.

this is really good stuff. he got down, then he got up again, even with a lot happening to the equipment he got to where he needed to be. he totally went the distance.

8:22 I WAKE UP IN A NEW BUGATTI

Dude your builds aren't just cool, they look fun as f**k to use! I genuinely look forward to your vids the most because you try stuff that others just wouldn't dare to. KEEP THIS UP 🙏

7:19 I love the Michael Jackson thing

That was honestly crazy awesome watching you race.

I love to see you use these on snow skiing or water-skiing!

I think you for the next iteration should leave the very front of your shoes with full grip for a truer sliding run, so as long as you're actually running heel-toe you can slide each foot the moment it hits the ground until you're ready to push off again on that leg. You'd have to relocate the propulsion mech though, likely to your back or shoulders for a straight push forwards.

A couple things you could add: -a few small jets on either side of your waist, to propel your legs similarly to your upper body -traction, but only on the tips of your shoes for when you push your legs -weights, to lower your center of gravity (sounds counterintuitive but could be easily countered with the extra jets)

Congratulations really happy for you

God level Video of the Year ..yet #1 video 2022 You are EPIC MAN!!! MAY ALL THE LUCK BRING YOU LIFETIME LUCK AND SUCCES

8:27 Hooollyy!! If i ever see one of those shoes i would bet all my money for it that looks sick!

Fun Fact: Out of the top 30 fastest 100 meter sprint times, 21 were run by people who tested positive for performance enhancing drugs. The other 9 were Usain Bolt.

This was awesome bro 👏🏾

Solid editing on this one✌️

More than anything, this just puts in perspective how fast Usain bolt is. Dude had jets attached to him and it was still a struggle to get to that speed

This just makes me appreciate Bolt even more. He did it all with raw human flesh, no gimmick.

That Anker lineup is actual amazing. First valuable ad read in a RU-vid video ever.

I think It's time to invite Usain Bolt and let him use the kit. Usain Bolt + Final jetpack kit + Giant wing = Human can fly

12:34 looked like it was straight out of an anime

Cool video! A trigger attached to a pneumatic actuator attached with an exoskeleton to the knees or thighs, to prevent over extension and injury for each leg, would be able to do catapulting force to create longer strides so you could stride like a Cheetah which are recorded to have strides of up to 22 feet helping them achieve 70 MPH speeds. Like the Hulk jumping and running. Legs don't need to move faster, they just need to push harder to achieve record breaking strides. Keep up the awesome work!

You deserve a lot more subscribers for your effort

I love this kind of stuff, I see one area you may improve the jet packs on your arms. Why not face them the opposite way. so you only need to hold your forarms horizontal to the ground to give you forward thrust, or hold your arms up, toward your chest to give you virtical thrust. cool video guys.

They should really make a tool assisted Olympics. Peak physical condition and peak engineering Edit: When I say tool assisted Olympics, I’m talking about traditional summer and winter Olympic sports

7:49 he rocking that Fortnite back pack

It's so cool that the energy to power this project was stored lightweight and small! Also, it really makes one appreciate the athleticism and physiological prowess of someone like Usain Bolt, regardless of whether his record are due to good genes or his hard work; dude is a BEAST!

I loved seeing the Nick Symonds collab!

I think you could legit make a hero comic out of this. just a guy with jets on his wrists and how he uses them to fight crime. Running fast, jumping across building, basting guys with jets of air. It could actually be pretty cool. Mayeb even make him a cop who's testing out new non-lethal tech for the department, so he has their support with stuff.

I just wanna say I've been a huge fan of Anker's products for like 6 years at this point. They have great speakers and portable chargers as well. Not sponsored or anything obviously, but it's cool to see an actually good product/company supporting one of my favorite "RU-vid engineers".

You have my subscription 🤘🏽

The fact that he does all these videos in his garage with preety basic stuff makes is crazy. Just imagine what he'll be able to do in like 20 years with high tech

Id love to see someone who does acrobatics or running try these as they could use them to assist in their already great running speed or do like 6 spin kicks in the air with the added lift

The amount of effort this guy puts into his content is insane

Bro combined heelys and jet engines togerhere he is crazy

So inspiring congratulations

This is just a testament to Usain Bolts crazy athletic ability, literally having to use machines to run as fast as him, even faster.

6:56 Teflon is actually what the Flashes suit is made out of

This is Literally the best YT Channel ever,and i never like to watch RU-vid 🤦‍♂️ Truely inspiring, educational, and entertaining! Keep up the great work!

Great work!

6:03 that looks like such a cool superhero gadget

I think if you shaped the shoe differently for more sliding power- like, if you made the sole angled so that you could rollerblade-style half skate on smooth surfaces it would work wayyy better

lets go J whatever you are going through man we care thankyou for doing these vids we love you

I reccomend that you build shoes that pushes your foot forward when your foot pushes it forward and then pushes it back when you stepped for each legs. For an easier explanation and where i got the idea,watch the battle beetween teikoku vs raimon on inzuma eleven go aries.

i love your commitment thank you so much for putting effort into your vids ☺️

Crazy how to go faster you’re using less traction whereas track runners use spikes to gain more traction and avoid slipping. Good stuff man!!

God I have so many things to say about this video. Haha. That was sick! The editing, the seamless sponsor plug, the fails and successes. The engineering. . The Naruto attire. This video has it all.

Where have you been all these years???? I found my new favorite person ever!!!!

I like that you show the iterative process from failures to improvement.

12:19 sonic CD metal sonic race be like:

Man has never failed to impress me

Well done! You broke the speed gliding record

This was epic bro. That looks like sooo much fun. Definitely need to try this on skis, or on skis in the snow. Maybe even skates on ice, or the Teflon on ice. There's so much you can do with this. Lol Great video buddy

Love it! Usain sustains that speed for 80m, though, not one frame :) Really puts into perspective his power.

You should have added brakes like are on roller blades. A little something so you don't freak out, and to turn time that would be spent going slower going faster.

We need some guys like this

Mount thrusters to your back point at 45 degree angle. Basically, half of the thrust would push you up and half pushing you forward. That would allow you to pump your arms and run more naturally, but with an assist

Hey, just a few random questions I would really appreciate an answer to. 1 ) would you be able to go faster using Aluminum Magnesium Boride? 2) would it be possible to create a small material that can allow you to speed run on water kinda like a superhero speedster 3) hypothetically, if u could switch the base of your shoe from Teflon into another material, what would be the best one to increase friction and give you a sudden or strong stop (perhaps even give enough grip to allow for a 90⁰ climb) . (I'm assuming rubber, but would love your opinion on this) Thank you

1:30 Had me cracking up!! Star wars fan

I'd be curious with some better optimization, how much faster you could get with this. Big concern however is the risk factor. Like just some ideas off the top of my head that I think could work. If the jets were sort of anchored more towards your center of gravity, your balance should be much better. Connected to your arms they can move a lot which means you can't get consistency in the force you're reacting to. If they were anchored and not moving, you'd be experiencing the same level of force consistently, so almost like riding a bike you could learn how to run with the boost. Adding some downward facing jets could help with height/length in the strides while running, pretty much exactly as was being shown at 5:18 when pointing the jets down where it slowed your descent. When paired with the sliding factor as well it should help reduce the weight being put onto the shoes meaning they'd allow you to slide slightly further. Some other ideas exist as well such as some sort of counter-force jets to help stabilize you while running, but really I'm not sure if those would be counter productive.

dude that wing and arm jet combo has to be able to be made into an actual flight thing. that would be so cool!

11:53 "I slipped dude! I tore my arachnophobia!" What does that even mean, hahahahaha!!! Seriously, well done, you apply yourself wonderfully with all your projects, and I think it's really important that you keep in the fails as well as the breakthroughs.

should try that on an ice rink of frozen lake for less friction to increase speed and just slide, or with a snowboard or skiies, none the less awsome dude👍

This was fun to watch

I'm so happy when you upload! your content is a step above the rest 😊

This guy is a genius, mad respect man! Imagine this guy on ice skates, on ice with those arm jets. Then as they say we would be cooking on gas. An American foot ball suit + helmet would be a must though! :P

you could try to add wheels that would support you from falling down. Like for bicycle training wheels. This way you could still run, be less worried about falling (if you have 3/4 wheels) You would also be able to do it on concrete or a road.

This needs to become a sport!

You should attach them to a belt at a 45 degree angle so it gives up thrust meaning you can get bigger strides whilst still going forward at some speed
