Zero Gravity Wall Climber
Wall climbing radio controlled car!
When I first seen the Zero Gravity Wall Climber over at Firebox.com I thought 'Yeah right, I bet it can't actually climb up walls!'. But after second glance, they're serious! It seems that horizontal driving just isn't enough these days, now our radio controlled cars have to scale walls too!
At first glance, the gravity defying Zero Gravity Wall Climber looks to be your regular R/C (Radio controlled) Humvee, but drive it towards a wall and this beast will start to drive up the wall, and scale it! Whats more is it can even make zero gravity spins around on the spot!
Well how does it work?! I hear you yell...
The Zero Gravity Wall Climber features an advanced Air suction system which works much like a vacuum cleaner. As the vechile reaches an incline, special hardcore fans automatically engage to create a strong down-force which keeps the Zero Gravity Wall Climber glued to the wall!
Flexible skirts around the bottom of the vehicle ensure that the vacuum remains sealed and the Zero Gravity Wall Climber stuck to the wall. Clever stuff eh!?
Once the Zero Gravity Wall Climber is in its vertical state, you can send it on a right mission by driving it in any direction! You can even exit the wall backwards. Once the Zero Gravity Wall Climber hits the floor, the fans automatically disengage, so you can continue your drive around the room without doing the hoovering at the same time.
If your a fan of revolutionary Radio Controlled cars/boats/planes then I'd seriously recommend you check out the truely jaw dropping Storm Launcher
