uh, how do you switch off a permanent magnet? ans. you don't and everything following is therefore BS for that foot that the > astronaut wishes to lift, he can lift it easily and take another step. > Then if the fields are switched on again as he places his foot down, > this switching of the fields allows him to walk in a manner resembling > normal walking, though a little slower. > > To do that switching by normal "battery and coils" would be > prohibitively bulky and heavy and awkward to say the least. > > With the Radus boots, the astronaut could pick up his foot by simply > switching off the permanent magnetic fields easily.
