Lao Liu Invented Solar Electric Shoes

There are many folk inventors in Beijing, such as one in the alley next to Dengshikou primary school. Yesterday afternoon, Liu Yulong, a folk inventor from Kaifeng, Henan Province, just got the patent certificate, and then showed the reporter the achievements of his ten years' hard work -- solar electric shoes.

Top speed 40 km / h

Liu's solar powered electric shoes are operated by remote control. Each shoe has four wheels, and the shoe body is fixed by two ropes. There are motors, batteries and solar panels hidden in the shoe. In order to make Liu's shoes beautiful, he could not help but think of the old one's shoes.

According to Liu's experimental data, the maximum speed of the solar powered electric shoe can reach 40 kilometers per hour, but for safety reasons, the speed needs to be controlled below 20 kilometers. According to the material he chooses, electric shoes can bear up to 100 kg. "There is a solar power panel inside the shoe that can be pulled out, and even when walking, you can use solar energy to charge." In order to prevent it from charging when it rains or cloudy. Liu also designed a way to charge electric shoes through indoor power supply.

Most of the income is invested in the experiment

Liu Yulong, 48, has been in Beijing for more than ten years. In 1998, he came to Beijing from Henan Province to work as a part-time worker. He washed dishes in restaurants and did cleaning in office buildings. After a few years, Liu spent all the rest of his income except for the rent and food.

Six years ago, he rented a room of more than ten square meters next to Dengshikou primary school and continued to experiment with his electric shoes. Three years ago, after the problems of solar panels and endurance that he had been most troubled with were solved, the model of his ideal solar electric shoe was born. Since then, saving money, collecting materials, and then making model experiments have become all his life after work. In order to keep the balance of electric shoes, he specially consulted some Skating Coaches to measure the load, speed and posture of electric shoes. Finally, countless electric shoes have failed.

Walking for the disabled is a source of inspiration

Liu told reporters that when he saw many disabled people walking very inconvenient, he had the idea of making walking tools for them. And his production concept is simple, light and low-carbon. Liu also said that in addition to walking, the use of electric shoes can also be used as a kind of entertainment. In the past, people used to play with remote control cars. Now they fix people on shoes and use their remote control to control themselves.

Before the experiment was successful, neither his family nor his neighbors knew that Liu was doing the experiment. Now, patents have been applied for, in addition to being able to make their own experimental results public. Liu also hopes that his invention can be commercialized and applied.
