To Achieve Water Drift, Chongqing Man Invented Rowing Shoes.

< p > ordinary people will be able to practice Ling Bo in the next 30 minutes. "/p".

< p > light duty water drift is only found in martial arts novels. If someone tells you that this martial arts can only be mastered in 30 minutes, do you believe it? < /p >

Yuan Hong, P, who is 43 years old, answered the affirmation of Wanzhou.

On the 20 th of this month, he invented the a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > shoes < /a > also on CCTV's "I love invention" column.

< p > < strong > winter swimmers < /strong > < /p >

< p > > strong > 10 minutes, learn to swim in water < /strong > /p >

< p > yesterday, at 1 p.m. yesterday, Yuan Hong walked along the river side of Binjiang road in Wanzhou district.

Two inflatable shoes like small boats attract people's attention in winter swimming.

< /p >

< p > "what is this?" a man swimming in winter is curious to climb the shore. His surname is Zhang, a physics teacher in Wanzhou middle school, who has two years' experience of winter swimming.

"This is water shoes that can walk on the water surface."

After introducing Yuan Honggang, Miss Zhang was eager to try.

< /p >

< p > "Ling Bo micro step has 3 essentials and 1 key points: first, after wearing shoes, can not rush to walk, to lean forward slightly, and to stabilize 5 to 10 minutes on the water surface; second, if you find a foot has a sinking feeling, do not shift the center of gravity to the other foot, keep the original position; third, small step plation, feet do not leave the water surface."

Yuan Hong explained: "the key is to practise balance for up to half an hour, and a healthy person between the age of 15 and 60 can master it."

< /p >

< p > teacher Zhang shook his left and right feet into his shoes.

"No, I can't walk, all my body..."

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Zhang fell into the river with a splash.

< /p >

< p > teacher Zhang is unwilling to stand in shoes again.

"I'll find the feeling first."

Mr. Zhang shook himself for the first time. He stood firm for 10 minutes or so. He made the first step gently. "I didn't fall down. I succeeded. Ha ha."

Mr. Zhang walked on the river.

< /p >

What does it feel like to walk on the river? P said, "at first, it's like stepping on the cotton and getting dizzy.

The second time I walked, I felt a bit like Jackson's moonwalk, dancing with the ups and downs of the water. It felt like flying. It was fun.

< /p >

< p > < strong > development for two months < /strong > /p >

< p > < strong > the first finished product came out < /strong > < /p >.

< p > < strong > How did this kind of water shoes come into being? < /strong > < /p >

< p > Yuan Hong said he was born in the town of Wuling on the Yangtze River and is an employee of the electric power bureau.

"After the impoundment of the Three Gorges Reservoir area, the river was wide and flat. At that time, why not use such a large water area for recreation and entertainment?" < /p >

< p > "for thousands of years, people have the dream of standing and walking on the water surface, so there are water drift on the swordsman novels, and there are Ling Bo steps in fairy tales."

Yuan Hong said, "I thought at the time that if we invented something, we could let people walk freely on the water surface, leisure, entertainment and exercise."

< /p >

In the summer of 2003, Yuan Hong began to try rowing shoes for P.

"Inspired by the modeling of the assault boat, I plan to make shoes into the shape of the assault boat, so that the resistance of the water can be reduced."

Yuan Hong introduced: "the first consideration is the buoyancy factor when walking on the water surface."

Yuan Hong worked with his uncle for two months in his spare time, and made a model of water rowing machine by hand made of aluminum alloy.

This pair of water paddle is about 1.2 meters long and weighs 18 kilograms.

< /p >

"P >" Yuan Hong said, in the water test, it was found that the model rudder was small, the direction of the row was wrong, the more the left and right feet separated into the left front and the right front, and the man could fall down in the water.

Later, it was found that the paddle was too small, the driving force was not enough and the rower was not far away.

< /p >

< p > < strong > do not give up test < /strong > < /p >.

< p > < strong > 10 years, pformation 3 times, forming < /strong > < /p >.

< p > after 3 years of continuous improvement and experiment, efforts have been made to work hard, and the products have gradually matured.

< /p >

< p > 2006, Yuan Hong eliminated the aluminum alloy model and began to put into production.

"The material used in production is FRP, the quality is very good and the appearance is beautiful."

Yuan Hong said, "after we were born, there were UAE buyers willing to buy, but soon found the problem. A pair of rowing shoes only sold for hundreds of yuan, but the freight cost was more than 1000 yuan.

The reason is that the FRP is too heavy and a pair of shoes weighs 20 kilograms.

< /p >

< p > how to reduce the weight of shoes and facilitate pportation and user carrying? From 2006 to 2009, Yuan Hong has been looking for better alternative materials. "At that time someone advised me to give up, because I could not afford to earn money.

But I don't think so. I think there must be a better solution. "

Yuan Hong said that just as he was in trouble, a Taiwan businessman heard overseas friends say Yuan Hong made homemade water shoes and came to Wanzhou from Taiwan.

< /p >

< p > "the businessman listened to my research and development experience and was very moved.

Through his help, I found cloth PVC as the material, that is, the material of the water paddle.

Yuan Hong used the new material to design the water shoes as inflatable.

"Fold up normally and use the special inflator when you use it, then you can use it."

Yuan Hong told reporters that the new shoe is only 8 kilograms.

< /p >

< p > 2003, when Yuan Hong applied for patent in his invention, he named it "water rowing device". In 2009, he named the improved product "water shoes".

< p > < strong > < a > href= > http://www.91se91.com/news/index_s.asp > > Design > /a > ingenious < /strong > /p >

< p > < strong > water surface travels faster than walking > /strong > /p >

< p > reporter saw that the overall design of Yuan Hong's rowing shoes was boat shaped, with a sharp front end to reduce the resistance of water, and the middle of the shoe designed a groove for putting feet.

Yuan Hong introduced the generous design of the foot slot to avoid getting stuck when the water is turned over.

< /p >

< p > the secret of rowing is at the bottom of the shoe.

The original design of the driving shoe power comes from the 3 pairs of dicing which can be freely assembled under the shoes. When people are walking on the water when they wear it, the scribing will backwards, which is similar to the action of the duck's water in the water, so that there is a forward motive force.

The improved design of the finished product is more ingenious, and the bottom is made up of a balance board and two large scribing. When people walk on the water, the scribing will stroke backwards, so as to move forward.

< /p >

< p > Yuan Hong designed different types of water shoes suitable for weighing 40 kilograms, 60 kilograms, 80 kilograms and 100 kilograms. The length of the shoes is between 1.1 meters and 1.5 meters.

< /p >

< p > Yuan Hong told reporters that after the completion of the improvement, he and his friends tested not only in the Yangtze River but also on the seaside in Zhuhai and Sanya, in order to test the performance of the rowing shoes.

"At present, the walking speed of the water shoes can reach seven or eight kilometers per hour, which is faster than the normal walking on the land, and the wave height below 1 meters can be used normally."

Yuan Hong said: "each part of the shoe body has no corner, and it is all circular design. It is very safe."

< /p >

< p > < strong > go on "I love invention" < /strong > /p >

< p > < strong > hope to become a sports event < /strong > /p >

< p > 20 this month, CCTV "I love invention" program broadcast Yuan Hong's water shoes. Professor of Mechanics Department of Tsinghua University pointed out that the design of Yuan Hong's water shoes is simple and convenient to carry, whether it is used for fishery production or ordinary amusement players. It has great practical value. The drawback is that the driving force is not enough. If we can enlarge the scribing, it will be suitable for more people.

< /p >

< p > "water rowing device" is a brand-new aquatic recreation and recreational equipment.

It overcomes the shortcomings of previous water sports equipment requiring external force or huge volume.

Just like stepping on two boats, using the leg's pedal force to move freely and flexibly in the water.

Yuan Hong said that the water rowing machine has good physical exercise and recreational functions, but there are certain skills. "My biggest wish is to popularize this activity. It is best to make sports events so that everyone can participate in it and enjoy health and happiness."

< /p >

< p > < strong > he works very persistently and focuses on < /strong > < /p >.

< p > Yuan Hong's daughter, Yuan Heya, is 20 years old and studied at Central University of Finance and Economics.

Speaking of her father, she revealed a sense of pride: "my classmates saw my father on CCTV. They were so envious that they asked me how my father invented this."

< /p >

< p > "father's greatest strength is persistence, which has great influence on me.

When he invented water floats, he could not sleep without thinking. "

Yuan Heya said, "he is liberal in my education, and has never forced me to learn. But he likes to impart knowledge about astronomy and geography to me and expand my knowledge.

Usually he likes to take me out fishing, saying that this can cultivate my concentration.

Wu Hongmei, P, aged 41, is now an accountant in Wanzhou, < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > private enterprise < /a >. As a friend of Yuan Hong, Wu Hongmei recalled that when he first invented the invention, some friends expressed doubts because he wanted to invest money, but Yuan Hong thought that as long as risks were within their control, no matter how much money or energy they needed, they must be built.

"As long as he does his own business, he concentrates very much.

Sometimes when we talk to him, he is absent-minded, and his brain is studying his invention everywhere.

Wu Hongmei said.
