This is an awesome, awesome project. I really want to see her build log for this- even her site doesn’t seem to explain what she used exactly- it looks like a custom milled-aluminum scissor-lift actuated by some sort of motor and cylinder.

I wish I could see the detail of the motor/cylinder inside it, to see what she used to hold her own weight an actuation interface.

It’s quite unclear, but great. I want a pair that will lift me at running speed twice as high!
