Some method:

Attach the person to an spring of a large stiffness constant, compress it and leave them free. Have you ever seen it at the cartoons? Probably when you see his face it will be like this--->

They could ride a horse, or a bike, or they could walk. I guess they could go by scooter. Or space-hopper.

I guess this doesn't answer your question, so let us know what you want to do!

Basically create some vehicle without using motors and having a 70 kg person in it how could you move the person?

I was thinking about springs and inclined planes, but those are probably too extravagant.

Some ideas

Is the movement on land, in water, or in the air?

On land, use a 50 m rope and roller skates, bicycle, or cart, i.e. something with wheels. The bicycle can be used to provide propulsion by the person through a crank and gear system, and this could be applied to a cart. The rope simply provides a constraint to move in a circle, with one end fixed at the axis.

In water, use a boat - with paddles, oars, or crank and paddle-wheel or .

In air, use a large kite, unless one can design a human power propeller system.

Also on land, one could use a kite or sail for propulsion, but one must have wind.

Use your imagination.
 

FAQ: Move 70kg Person without Motors: Ideas to Solve

What are some potential solutions for moving a 70kg person without motors?

Some potential solutions for moving a 70kg person without motors include using a cart or wheelbarrow, utilizing a pulley system, using a human-powered vehicle such as a bicycle or rickshaw, or utilizing teamwork with multiple people carrying the person.

How can physics principles be applied to move a 70kg person without motors?

Physics principles such as levers, pulleys, and simple machines can be utilized to move a 70kg person without motors. For example, a lever can be used to lift and move the person, while a pulley system can help distribute the weight and make it easier to move.

What materials could be used to construct a non-motorized device for moving a 70kg person?

Some materials that could be used to construct a non-motorized device for moving a 70kg person include wood, metal, plastic, or a combination of these materials. Other materials such as ropes, straps, and wheels may also be necessary depending on the chosen design.

Are there any safety concerns to consider when moving a 70kg person without motors?

Yes, there are several safety concerns to consider when moving a 70kg person without motors. These include proper lifting techniques to avoid strain or injury, ensuring the stability and strength of the device being used, and communicating effectively with other team members if utilizing a teamwork approach.

How can teamwork be utilized to move a 70kg person without motors?

Teamwork can be utilized to move a 70kg person without motors by utilizing the strengths and abilities of multiple people. This can include coordinating movements and communicating effectively to ensure a smooth and safe transfer of the person. Additionally, teamwork can also help distribute the weight and make it easier to move the person without straining any one individual.
