In this segment from the Hippy Gourmet TV show, we visit with Bob Schneeveis, the inventor of the Solar Powered Walking Chariot!
Bob is a brilliant and eccentric character who studies nature and then turns it into sustainable, solar-electric vehicles and gadgets…
Bob also donates his time to students studying robotics, and certainly gets our award for being the truest of nutty professors!
Check out how clean powered engine drives these legs and rollerblades in such a human-like fashion…amazing! This thing actually has a lot of kick to it and is capable of covering all kinds of terrain it seems.
Best of all, this chariot demonstrates that earth-happy innovations and creativity are all around us.

Pretty hilarious.
I’m intrigued by another electric vehicle though, shown in this video at 1:45.
What makemodel is that? It looks very cool!

The current status quo.
Solar power is cool, but it doesn’t really work in alot of places.

Really neat,love to see people building stuff like that–now we should think about solar powered cooking.
This chariot is so funny and very smart..I as interested in the maroon burgundy vechile,what is it?or what kind is it? or did Bob invent it? It looks compant.thanks:)
The panels are lot in price.
Yah, for a guy so smart and a lot of know how, that was a dumb thing to say.
The dark winter on the dark winter on the dark winter on the dark winter on the dark.
This is something worth sending your children to war for…elect this guy to set energy policy. GO SOLAR.
If legs are so efficient, why are there wheels on the chariot?
more efficient. not faster.
The world from itself.
This is really interesting. It reminds me of ASIMO pulling a chariot.
Wait a damned minute. Walking is more efficient than a wheel?
I’ve biked over 100 miles in a day. I would like to see any human being walk that far in any amount of time, without sleeping or eating.
There NO WAY that walking is more efficient than wheels. Wheels would be pretty hard to integrate into a living organism.
saw this guy many other creative techies @ the Maker Faire, check out Maker magazine, too!
