I Was Never A great Fan Of Spider Man,

for me it was more The Eagle with Dan Dare, but not so for 13 year old schoolboy Hibiki Kono, he turned his dream into reality, it works like this take two cut-price Tesco vacuum cleaners, design and build wooden suction pads attached to the vacuums' nozzles, put the cleaners in a back pack and hey presto, he can climb walls!

Hibiki spent five months working on the device at King's College School in Cambridge, He came up with the idea after television presenter Jem Stansfield demonstrated a similar device he had built for BBC1's Bang Goes The Theory science show last year, He used two 1,400-watt Tesco Value vacuum cleaners, bought for £14.98 each, to move higher, Hibiki switches the vacuum supplying his 'free' hand pad off, allowing it to be released from the wall on its own, without affecting the other pad's suction, each pad is attached to a stirrup, to allow him to move each leg in tandem with the corresponding arm,

the school he attends is King's College in Cambridge, His design technology teacher Angus Gent said: 'I'm hugely proud of him, when he came to me with the idea at the beginning I had my doubts, but once he proved it could be done I encouraged him, the device is based on the one Hibiki saw on television but he has developed it all himself, which is amazing for someone of his age, now I wonder if he set the vacuum cleaners to blow instead of suck will he make a hover jet next? great to hear of some one getting away from sitting and playing computer games all day,

as for the history of the school, this is how it began,

the nineteen year old Henry VI founded King’s College, Cambridge and its choir school in 1441, college records reveal that there were already sixteen choristers in residence by 1447, one of whom, Thomas Roke, left on a scholarship to the sister college of Eton that year, the statutes of 1453 laid down that these sixteen choristers were to be ‘poor and needy boys, of sound condition and honest conversation, being ascertainable under the age of twelve years, knowing how to read and sing’, Their duty was to ‘assist daily the priest …. celebrating in the chapel …. and also in the hall to assist the other servants of the King’s College by humbly and honestly ministering and serving the said fellows at table.’ founded in 1441 and still going strong.
