Festo AirMotion Ride – Click above to watch video after the jump<\/a><\/small><\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n

\nBlogger Richard Lai from sister-site Engadget recently had a chance to try out the amazing Festo AirMotion Ride<\/a> driving simulator chair. Festo had the new device set up at The Gadget Show Live<\/a> in the UK and Richard couldn’t resist giving it a spin. You can see a short video clip of that experience after the jump, but be forewarned, Lai asks ahead of time that no one judge his driving. We can’t resist a little playful mocking and advise Richard to not quit his day job.<\/p>\n

Aside from the atrocious driving, you can see the extreme movement possible with Festo’s revolutionary “fluidic muscles<\/a>.” That’s the name of Festo’s elastomer tubes that contract when filled with fluid, producing forces of up to 1,600 Nm (1,180 lb-ft). Better yet, there are no mechanical parts inside, making them simpler to replace than the typical hydraulic plungers found on competing simulators from D-Box<\/a>, Simcraft<\/a>, Force Dynamics<\/a> and Motion-Sim<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Follow the jump<\/a> to see Festo’s machine in action, and don’t judge Richard too harshly.<\/p>\n
