A retraction system would allow for a safer landing and a faster recovery when jumping, and it would really make for a cool part two to this project

"That actually wasn't even me, I just searched for jumping chinese kid" How dare you make me racist for believing you entirely

00:53 thats a very nice legal sword you have

The kick was my favorite part! Might be even worth a separate video. Piston powered punches and kicks. 😂

On today's episode, Allen has designed a machine to flawlessly break his ankles.

This was amazing. I am disappointed you didn't test gun shoes yourself though.

why didn’t you just drank a jump boost potion?

Neat. Two changes I would make here. One, have a pressure sensor mounted on the bottom somewhere, or maybe under the toes of the boots, such that when there is little to no pressure on it (and the safety is off), it triggers the pistons. If you dial that in well, they should basically go off automatically at the point where they would best maximize the jump, at, before, or after when your feet are no longer pressing down on the ground (whichever turns out to be optimal). The second thing I would do is add plates to the bottom of the piston, a flat portion in the middle, and then a hinged "toe" and "heel" that will compress, but also resist compression a bit, trying to return to a flat plane. I would think that would be much smoother to land on than just a straight bar across the instep.

12:34 It's so adorable how that kid is just standing there applauding

Imagine if he put those shoes on someone who can actually jump. They'd be in the rafters

9:55 Nice to see Audrey again since she stopped posting on her UKposts channel

I just love Allen's manic laughter🤣 Can't believe I haven't heard of this channel before. Absolutely amazing content! Subbed :D

Now this is a fantastic idea

“How to break your ankles with extra steps”

Now make it become a glove that 200% stronger punchs

That was awesome and it's a long time I was happy for someone on UKposts to reach his goal. You dunking this ball was awesome :)

That's one small step for man, one giant leap in revenue for an orthopedic surgeon

I swear to god, Allen's one step away from becoming a supervillain who takes revenge on Warner-Discovery for snubbing him in the Mythbusters Search.

When I saw the title, I immediately thought "he's gonna hurt himself". 1 minute in, he hurts himself with a 90's toy.

Today: Jumping boots Tomorrow: Jet boots Ten years later: "I AM IRON MAN!"

I love the assortment of legal toys 🤣

Imagine just looking out the windows and seeing some guy laughing maniacally crushing cans in the middle of the street with some boot contraption

2:41 i defetly didnt expect that your photoshop is so good

Maybe soon you can combine all of these inventions into an iron man suit

Man I would love to try these! The fact that you tried them onto concrete almost right away blows my mind. 😂 I appreciated this video very much. 👌

Allen is slowly inventing stuff to make himself have a supersuit

I think you could furth increase their jumpiness by: using springs to retract the pistons, they dont have to be very strong but strong enough to retract the piston once the pressure depleted. adding an earlier gas bleed and buffer at the end of travel to the jerking of the piston doesnt skew your airial direction using a trigger that responds to when you put more than your body weight into your shoes (aka you start to jump, increasing the weight that is put on your soles.) sorry for my bad english

I love watching these types of videos. Simply because its incredible, what the human mind can achieve with an idea that seems stupid, but actually works (kinda)

2 minutes in, Allen went from "making a pair of spring shoe" to "attach two dAMN GUNS TO HIS FEET"

I actually prefer the shoes as self defence weapons! lmao

So, 10 months later we have the over engineered variant.

There are many sneakers with a cushioning platform. If you could climb such a structure to the height of the piston, that would drastically increase the stability when landing, which in my opinion would make the shoes completely practical.

I love how horrifically dangerous all of his jank contraptions are lol

I'm surprised the footprint of the launch bar stayed so narrow through the entire development process, because it's certainly harder to safely land, and it shows considering how many times you fell over, lost you balance, or both. The landings also look as painful as I thought they would be based on your reactions.

I wonder how the other myth-busters would react to these videos and the merch XD this is amazing

@Allen Pan 9:04 add a + shape to contact the floor, that way you wont fall forwards

The fact that you actually dunked with those is crazy

NGL I've been an engineer for 20 years and I still learn something with every Allen Pan video. In this one I learned about Elevator bolts and Dummy Launchers. Seriously, this guy earns our sub HARD in every video. Like, if you're not hitting subscribe now what are you even doing with your life?

Just gotta make the surface area of the landing plate a little bigger so it's easier to push them back in once landing, and these will totally work even better :D It will help with keeping upright, too :)

4:37 decaying winter: meet the arbiter

I love that he unintentionally made real versions of the Mario movie boots

The tone, humor, and success rate of your inventions/videos is so consistent. It truly inspires me

Thanks for making your sponsored segment so entertaining.

I feel like these definitely work better as weapons for kicking rather than as boosters for jumping

Allen Pan is an absolute treasure. Awesome to see your chops as a film-maker also continuing to grow. What are you doing, step bit?

3:37 knee-breaker 3000, now with an extra ankle breaker attached for free.

0:24 " I'm mommy now " - Allen Pan 2023

I'm amazed Allen's ligaments(ACL and MCL) survived.

Imagine this paired with the flame gauntlets. Dude could straight up become a real life superhero if he wanted.

Suggestion: instead of two bars, make parts that fit the entire sole of the shoe so you cover more area when landing, preventing you from falling over

I 100% didnt realize you were on myth busters till the very end youve definitely earned a sub

00:35 allways listen to your mothers kids 😂

11:45 Nice kick 👍

this man invented reverse long-fall boots and i'm honestly impressed...

I feel like if you put a flat surface at a 45 degree angle on the toe it might help you balance better when you land weird and also if the edge that contacts the ground could freely rotate (with some resistance to prevent spinning) to become parallel with the ground it might help you recover and also make it easier to jump

Oh, you have the best inventions. They are also funny, if I were on the commission and evaluated your inventions, I would give 10 out of 10

Allen... you are extremely limiting your jumping power by dumping all the Co2 at once, also the solenoids are restricting the pressure. this is because these Co2 cartridges are meant to slowly release gas, which means that most of the actual gas is turning into dry ice inside of the cartridge. Hope this info helps and maybe you can make another video fixing these issues.

The most iffy part is the landing. When the bottom part is extended and lands first Allen always falls forward or to different sides with his feet respectively. If he could make them retract in the air the landing would be way easier. Or he could maybe increase the surface of those. I am curious if you could do an enhanced form of running with those.

Your content is well-processed 👍

best ad for honey i have seen yet

This is probably the most professional and well built thing you’ve ever made on this channel

Allen and his friends give me hope for humanity. They are proper role models.

5:29 bro got high for a second 💀

His neighbors: “Honey, that man is making a pair of Hydraulic boots

12:40 Made me go back to childhood when I thought I could use moon shoes to dunk. Made my day for sure! One of you best projects for sure and actually look "kinda" safe! Also I think you should have went all out and put "Busting Makes Me Feel Good" on the shirts. I did a quick Phoshop and it fits perfect and fills the art out better in my opinion.

I'm convinced that Allen Pan is slowly developing a superhero persona. First the gun gloves, the repulsers, the exoskeleton, then the weight training, and now the jump boots.

Have weak springs that pull the platforms back up after firing. That will help you land easier.

Just wow impossible things made possible!keep up the brilliant work

That was some seriously impressive photoshop for demonstrating the potential destructive power of the gun shoes. The third one was an actual masterpiece

This unironically is the best thing Allen has built

That "what are you doing step-bit" joke was so underrated

What a twist opening. I was starting to lose focus a bit but I'm 100% dialed in to the video now haha

Fun fact: the moon shoes actually used to be alot more powerful. But due to multiple accidents the company had to lessen the power of the Moon shoes.

As someone who has gone through a torn ACL twice, this makes my knee physically hurt to watch 😂😭 Sick project though!

stuff like this would be cool in extreme sports.

What a great rim job! Can't believe it. Congratulations!!

2:55 Very scientific. This guy is definitely qualified to be part of the mythbusters.

Bro, the fact that you have this much energy left for self improvement, after all you’ve been doing for the snakes lately, is really inspirational. Keep it up!

Combine these with a air cannon backpack so you can double jump.

something that might help with the timing of the jump would be to have the mechanism go off when the switch is released. that way you can hold it down and better time the release by just unclenching your hand

0:12 i really did believe that was you at first lol

12:34 is golden Also this is legitimately really impressive. Please continue working on these. I want to buy the finished version :).

"When we used gunpowder, it exploded." Yes, that's what gunpowder does.

Maybe add a force sensor to the shoes that can detect when you are about to jump (The load cells detect a force less than your bodyweight since you have started to take off) and trigger the valves, that would make it much easier to jump with?

0:53 what... what is that pink 'toy' in the background? Hmmmmmmm?

Imagine the power he would have if he put four on both feet😂 also I desperately want a pair they look like so much fun

3:34 ‘The design is very human’

Omg, doing these tests on concrete while not wearing a helmet was insane. A bike helmet, or some padded fall mats, something? Nah my dude was launching himself into the air right beside concrete stairs on a lawn full of dogshit. Like trying to learn to walk on a tightrope by stringing it across an active volcano for extra motivation. This man is a menace. Subscribed.

The next logical step would be to add rockets. Also, I find funny that Allen is voluntarily doing something Amazon forces some vendors to do.

After having just recently broken my ankle in 3 places this video gives me extreme anxiety

5:28 what are you doing step bro

this guy is one lab accident away from becoming a super villain and its inspiring xD

Growing up I always wanted to be an inventor, my one and only idea was basically what you built in this video. It makes me so happy to see that this concept actually kinda works!

8:06 Bro literally just has his own address in frame 💀

Incredible. I love this video bro

That step bit joke got me waaay more than it should have. Lol

12:20 I love the guy in the background was watching and you can just see he wasn't expecting this lmao!

When I was a kid, the only frame of reference I had for moon shoes was a picture in a magazine of a kid in the sky with them on, so I was convinced I could jump like 10+ feet with them, and wanted them so bad to jump over everyone. Never got them, and the reality of seeing them later in my life was pretty disappointing to say the least

"This video is sponsored by Honey" *grabs a peanut butter jar full of olives labeled honey*

I feel like using six pistons would increase the hight but more importantly provide suspension for the Landing and a wider area on each shoe to land on.
