>Looking for fuel injection system for below using O2 sensor

>KUNIKOV IS ONE of the professors at a Russian engineering
>institute who designed the boots that were tested Tuesday in
>a public square in Ufa, 750 miles southeast of Moscow.
>The test showed that wearers can achieve speeds of up to 25
>mph, Kunikov said in a telephone interview.
> The boots incorporate one-foot pistons that strap along the
>calf and fire downward after the wearer steps down, pushing
>a metal plate away from the bottom of the shoe - and the
>wearer up into the air.
> The shoe works in a rhythm with the wearer's step. As he
>steps down, his body weight resets the piston, which then
>fires and pushes him on his way. The plate is connected to
>the sole of the shoe by metal rods that work as shock
>absorbers. The shoes use ordinary gasoline, Kunikov said.
> "A person can move with significant jumps or strides," said
>Kunikov, a professor at the Ufa Aviation Technical
>University.  The university formerly worked on defense
>contracts, but when defense budgets shriveled, Ufa
>university went searching for a niche in the capitalist
>economy.
> The shoes weigh about two pounds each, including a fuel
>tank, tiny carburetor, spark plug and wires and pipes.
>Kunikov said there have not been any accidents so far.  He
>also said he would continue to refine his product.  "We aren
>'t standing in one place," he said.
