what happens if you run out of power / fuel? (Rhetorical)

 

[kelfen]

I love it when people turn junk into more useless junk.

 

[amd_guru]

too much time on your hands is what this whole mess looks like to me lol!

Spider Brit does what spider Brits wants.

This can have some uses but the friction problem and power is an issue if self contained.

[bboysil]

I guess he should have thought of two things (or more?):
-stamina to do this
-grease from traffic pollution

Overall, he did good.

 

[grieve]

Wasn't there something like this on MythBusters?

This is old news - Bang Goes the Theory aired last year on the BBC. Great show - Jem goes on to build a sonic canon, microwave ray gun, and plenty of other cool stuff!

Re: Mythbusters. Yeah, they tried it but hilariously, it was supposed to be a stealth ascent or descent and the banging of the suction cups rang throughout the shaft. It was classic.

Let's hope next time he is 100 feet up along a building, he remembers to keep the vacuum-cleaners in "suction" and not switching to "blow" mode so he won't end up being scraped of the sidewalk..

Jaime tried the magnets (strong freaking things too), Adam tried the vacuum powered ones, and they worked, he was just not strong enough to make it up, no stamina.
