Garden with superhuman strength with a Japanese power suit
15.9 years ago electronics, harvest
Don’t want your back aching after working in your garden? Our friends at the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology have got your covered. With 3 years for only $10K you can have your very own power suit to complete your gardening choirs. At a current weight of 55 pounds it will support your joints as you squat and reach. Though for that much money might be a better idea to outsource your gardening tasks, or in my case work out a little more.

Interesting. I garden to stay in shape so I don’t need a power suit. Carrying 2, 3 gallon watering cans keeps my arms in tip-top shape!

That is too funny there! I’m with Chiot’s Run, carry some watering cans, bend, squat, shovel, rake…you won’t need a power suit!

I wonder what shape I would be in if I took spring/summer off or tried a powersuit. I seriously doubt the actual expected ROI on this one. 10K price tag + hardware maintenance versus a couple few visits to chiropractor after a pesky sunflower pull.
