Foot Fins!
Wednesday, August 20th, 2008
The Lunocet is a swishing fishtail for your feet designed to propel you through the water faster than Michael Phelps.
The device clamps on to the feet, which are kept together, and when you kick, the tail flexes, propelling you through the water much like an airplane’s wings.
And these puppies are fast. In top gear (there are six speeds, adjustable while you swim) a strong swimmer should be able to leap from the water and clear the surface a la Flipper. According to the Lunocet, you can hit 8 mph.
It’s not cheap though. The basic configuration is around $1250.
Maybe you can even outswim a shark with these. But I doubt it.
