FASTEST man on all fours.
The fastest man on “four legs”
Kenichi Ito, can run 100 metres in
just 20 seconds.
According to reports, the
Japanese man taught himself to
run in the style of an African patas
monkey after being teased for
years at school.
“You know, my face and body
kind of look like a monkey, so
from a young age everybody used
to tease me,” he said.
“I had this ambition to adopt
one of their traits.
“When I saw a monkey that
could run fast, I knew I’d found it
- and from that point on, I
practised running like a monkey
every day,” he added.
And his ambition was met with
reward this year, after the
Guinness Book of Records
recognised his position as the
fastest man to run on four limbs.
TRAVELLING with the speed of wind.
One Chinese farmer has harnessed the speed of wind for his newest invention, an electric wind powered car. Featuring batteries and electric generators, the car took Tang Zhengping just three months to build, and can reportedly reach
speeds of 140km/hr. The car also features a fan in the front and two solar energy wings top support the generation of power to the vehicle. “It goes at a maximum speed of 140 kilometers per hour and lasts longer than a normal electric car, which usually doesn’t have generators,” Tang said. “It has two sets of generators and batteries so one is charging while the other is working,” he added.
