Deus Ex Machina - The Wearable Motorcycle

Jake Loniak, a student at the Art Center College of Design, has came up with a system that will act as an extension of your body.His idea came from Biomechatronics and he dubbed his concept as the Deux Ex Machina and will consist of an vertically parking motorcycle that will be managed by 36 pneumatic muscles with 2 linear actuators. The Deus Ex Machina is Yamaha-branded and it will be worn as an exo-skeleton and the helmet will be pneumatically attached.The in-wheel motor will be able to power the motorcycle from 0 to 60mph in 3 seconds and it will have a maximum speed of 75mph. The Deus Ex Machina is electric and it can cycle one hour with a recharge time of 15 minutes.

    Looks like something the Bush government would sink millions of dollars into or perhaps the US NAVY or US ARMY like the US NAVY multi million dollar studies of "WHAMO" frisbies a few years ago. Imagine the navy studying "frisbies".
