It's true, the sci-fi Iron Man super hero has become real when an oil trader and inventor Richard Browning fly up on air with his new invention. He soar up into the air with his jet engine - powered exosuit for almost 10 minutes to the amazement of his neighbors of Salisbury in Southern England. The noise of the exosuit reveals the invention, which he has been working for one and a half years in his garage.
In his report to Livescience, Browning revealed that his exosuit is powered by three (3) miniature jet machines, which are attached to his arms and back. The principle of the invention lies on the concept that the human body is easy to train and to maneuver to do specific tasks. Hence, instead of engaging on iron and/or aluminum to construct his machines like building robots, he turned to the human machine, which is himself first to make his invention.
Additionally, NBCnews revealed Browning's futuristic technology to be patterned after the Greek myth of Daedalus. He got inspired and thought of making himself fly with the suit. The Daedalus has a trigger at the right hand and this serves as the controls of the arm engines. The left hand also has a trigger that operates the rear engines.
Browning explained how the exosuit will bring up for 10 minutes and hover on air at 5 mph to an altitude of 6 meters, although it is capable to fly more than 60 mph at an altitude of 100 meters. The Iron Man exosuit is still on continuing development and refinement. However, this early the inventor has already been bombarded with invitations to present his inventions.
