'Underwater bicycle' propels swimmers forward at superhuman speed

French company Seabike has developed a swimming device that uses your own leg power to accelerate you through the water at superhuman speeds. This crank-driven pusher prop looks a bit like an underwater unicycle... We'd love to take one for a spin!

"This drives what looks like about a 15-inch (38-cm) propeller. At this point, you start gliding through the water with the splendid, gracious ease of a cruising dugong with an outboard up its bum."

I’d love to give this a try! Certainly less loud than speedboats and such out on the lake. Nothing worse than going for some rest and recreation at a quiet countryside lakefront only to listen to motors buzzing around.

Best of all, you can instantly charge this device by eating a hot dog.
