If you're like me, you are lazy. I also hate going upwards on a staircase. I'm one of those people that do that stair skip thing. What I propose is each step being a tiny trampoline, and at the bottom of the set, a landing/take off trampoline. At the top and bottom of the set, their could be a switch
to control the tension of the landing/take off tramp. So, if you were at the bottom, you could decrease the tension , take a few bounces, and you would already be half way up! If you were on the top, increase the tension so when you land, you don't get too much bounce and hit your head, but the landing remains cushiony.

perhaps one side of the steps for bouncers and the other half for normal folk. :) |

How about a staircase built out of those stunt devices. You know when you see a guy flying through the air, a platform with a air ram on the bottom of it. |

//fun and dangerous// Obligatory bun. |

Bounce up, slide down. [+] |

Energy in=altitude increase. No free climbs via trampolines, sorry.
Add some pneumatic kick cylinders to the tensioners, though, and now we're talkin'!
If you fall, however, it flings you back up again, to fall again, and again...perhaps from ever-increasing heights, perhaps until it's bouncing you off the ceiling. Ouch. |

Good good, now make it magnetic, guiderail pairs shooting throughout cities, men hurled with pneumatic kickers in and out of the tangled mess of thousands of maguide pairs, their trajecories reflecting off the staggard city tramps and back into the lofty rails in some wonderfully symphonic fashion. |

I have afeeling [Nylonstringer] is about to become a two-timer. Welcome,+. |

It's good, but can you find a way to add ninjas? [+] |
|
| |
what loser gave this a -1? |
|
| |
Probably some safety-minded person, [po]. I didn't know those existed around here. |
|
| |
[elhigh] technically true, but walking up stairs is far less
efficicient than bouncing. Think about - while bouncing,
you regain most of the kinetic energy that would
otherwise be lost. You need only add a little each bounce
to get up to a decent height. |
|
| |
is it possible to bounce on the bottom step and reach the top of the stairs in one go then? |
|
| |
That would probably depend entirely on the amount of stairs involved. (+) |
|
| |
Can you just add a few peizoelectric crystals to generate enough electricity to charge your mobiles? |
|
| |
Bouncing down on your bottom would be fun. (One of my clients still goes down the stairs stitting down, like I did as a child. This would make it more fun, and I could participate without having to explain why.) + |
|
| |
This reminds me of traversing down the old wooden escalators at Kings Cross station on my arse.Fun at the time, until the next day. |
|
| |
Great idea. I'm 6ft 3, so there'd be lots of dents in the ceiling, not to mention mild concussion, but I'd definately try it! Have a bun, and welcome to the bakery. |
|

Shouldn't this be WTAGIPBAN? There, now it is. |
|
| |
what was that again? for newbies of course! |
|

[po, see Fold over-wheel-car Seat. I screwed this up last try. Correct answer there. Used to be some good info at [krelnik]'s user page, but I don't know how to search for one, so can only get to a particular one by happenstance, and don't know current conditions.] |
|
| |
Those small circular exercise "trampolines", positioned as
a special down staircase would make for a kinetic Kramer
entry every time. |
|
| |
I like this, but why not dump the stairs and go with a Bat Pole? pneumatic pad at the bottom that softens your landing and enables you to jump to the second floor? |
