2016 Innovate Product Awards

 

I want to thank CONNECT and the Panel of Distinguished Judges for this very special entrepreneurial event.  It is an honor and a privilege to be here with such premier cutting edge San Diego product finalists.

  • Introduction DAMPS Technology Footwear (Directional Axial Magnetic Propulsion Systems)

  • We have to really utilize footwear as transportation, not just a logo.  If you don’t please move to the right lane, it’s a hard road out there.  We want to lighten your load.

 

  • Benefits

  • What is Shock Mitigation? Shock Mitigation is the time delay in load force disbursement.

  • We first proved that concept with our first USSOCOM military contact in 2004 and proving it ever since.

  • A person’s heel strikes the ground at 2-3    times their body weight per square inch each and every step. DAMPS reduces heel strike over 68%. That means a warrior, anyone can walk 10 miles and save his or herself the shock of 7 miles. Heel strike shock quickly adds up to tons of pressure on the foot and lower extremities.

  • It’s great that the NFL has recognized the problem and is sensor monitoring helmet to helmet player contact from the side lines and there is concussion protocol it is changing the game forever.

  • While a concussion proof helmet is only theoretical, our computer testing demonstrates we can reduce linear and rotation impact force right now.

 

  • Demo MKV Prototype DTI/Outsole and Women’s FITN Prototypes
