Made by a team from ITP. NYU, it's powered by a small scuba-diving bottle worn on the back, and is triggered when the user flexes his muscles. It weighs in at just 6.5 pounds, including the five-pound tank, which you can replace with a C02 cartridge, which will drop the weight right down to two pounds. [cwwang.com via MAKE]
