Then why did you even reply to this thread?

Here, have some coffee, I'll perk you up. Then you can go back to tearing up the idiots who post stupid questions about trying to do dangerous/complicated power installations without any permits of knowledge of safety.

Don't worry, the coffee's safe. It's French Roast even, see, says so right on the metal can, right under the big Folger's logo.

It isn't going to catch many gazelles running in a straight line. Nor does it look like it's doing anywhere close to 70 mph. And they never must have seen a cheetah run. Leg movement don't look anywhere like that.

The preliminary models looked like pug dogs, for obvious reasons.

Just think about a pack of those running you down. At least faster than a donut eating cop.

Universities need to make headline grabbing cr4p in order to attract funding. The real purpose may be in the maths or something else entirely. NASA is big on spin off products, which is a similar type of thing.
