Here "IT" is. What is "IT?"...well until "IT" was unveiled in New York
it was the codename for the Segway Human Transporter.....a nifty
two-wheeled battery-powered device that takes you from here to there.
At an average speed of eight miles an hour and a top speed of 17 miles
an hour-- inventor Dean Kamen says this is just what America needs.
(SOT DEAN KAMEN/INVENTOR )
"IT IS THE MISSING LINK BETWEEN YOUR SNEAKERS AND BIG VEHICLES."
(COURTESY: SEGWAY LLC)
To hype the Human transporter--Kamen provided this video of him and his
engineers fine-tuning the invention at their New Hampshire headquarters.
It weighs 80 pounds--can go up to 15 miles without recharging the
batteries and looks like a cross between an old rotary lawn mower and a
Razor scooter.
(NATSOUND OF WOMAN ON HUMAN TRANSPORTER)
"OH MY GOSH, THIS IS SO EASY "
Using computers, sensers and gyros Kamen says it works basically as an
extension of the rider.
(SOT Dean Kamen/Inventor.)
"WE PUT ABOUT FIVE GYROS IN THERE THAT ACT LIKE YOUR INNER EAR, THEY
SENSE WHAT THE MACHINE IS DOING, SO IF I WANT TO GO FORWARD I THINK
FORWARD, IF I WANT TO GO BACKWARDS I THINK BACKWARDS."
The inventor feels his invention will help increase productivity in
warehouses and he says its perfect for delivery companies.
The National parks service plans to test them--and the US Postal Service
is going to try them out in New Hampshire and Florida.
At a cost of eight-thousand dollars--it's pricey...but a smaller--less
expensive consumer model is on the drawing board.
