The invention is a pair of mechanical devices that a user would wear on his or her lower legs and feet.
Rocket Boots are intended to make it possible for a person to travel faster and further than by unassisted walking or running.
Rather, the power comes from pistons that are filled with a fuel-air mixture, and fired by compression when the user puts his or her full body weight down into the boot.
The project was restarted in Russian Federation by scientists at the Bashkir State University (Ufa), with the aim to develop a product for the civilian and a military markets.
It is expected that while using the "rocket boots", a person could travel at an average speed of around 10.5 mph (16,89km/h).
