SHOES AND SNEAKERS HAVING HYDROMAGNETIC JOINTS
First Claim
1. A shoe comprising:
- a hydromagnetic joint includinga first joint part including a first magnetic element having a first magnetically charged surface, and a first buoyant element coupled with said first magnetic element, wherein said first buoyant element overlies a surface of said first magnetic element that is opposite said first magnetically charged surface,a second joint part including a second magnetic element having a second magnetically charged surface that opposes said first magnetically charged surface of said first magnetic element, and a second buoyant element coupled with said second magnetic element, wherein said second buoyant element overlies a surface of said second magnetic element that is opposite said second magnetically charged surface,a liquid disposed between said first and second joint parts, wherein said liquid is disposed between said first and second magnetic elements which, in turn, are disposed between said first and second buoyant elements, respectively, and wherein said first and second joint parts are moveable relative to one another and are in fluid communication with said liquid.

Abstract
A shoe or sneaker includes a hydromagnetic joint having a first joint part including a first magnetic element having a first magnetically charged surface, and a first buoyant element coupled with the first magnetic element. The first buoyant element overlies a surface of the first magnetic element that is opposite the first magnetically charged surface. The shoe includes a second joint part including a second magnetic element having a second magnetically charged surface that opposes the first magnetically charged surface of the first magnetic element, and a second buoyant element coupled with the second magnetic element. The second buoyant element overlies a surface of the second magnetic element that is opposite the second magnetically charged surface. A liquid is disposed between the first and second joint parts. The first and second joint parts are moveable relative to one another and are in fluid communication with the liquid.

12. A shoe comprising:
-
an upper part of said shoe; a lower part of said shoe; a hydromagnetic joint incorporated into said lower part of said shoe; said hydromagnetic joint comprising a first part including a first magnetic element having a first magnetically charged surface and a first buoyant element coupled with said first magnetic element, wherein said first buoyant element overlies a surface of said first magnetic element that is opposite said first magnetically charged surface, a second part including a second magnetic element having a second magnetically charged surface that opposes said first magnetically charged surface of said first magnetic element and a second buoyant element coupled with said second magnetic element, wherein said second buoyant element overlies a surface of said second magnetic element that is opposite said second magnetically charged surface, and a liquid body disposed between said first and second parts, wherein said liquid is disposed between said first and second magnetic elements which, in turn, are disposed between said first and second buoyant elements, respectively, and wherein said first and second parts are in fluid communication with said liquid body and are adapted to move relative to one another. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A shoe comprising:
-
a hydromagnetic joint including a first joint part including a first buoyant element having a top surface and a bottom surface, a first magnetic element having a negatively charged top surface and a positively charged bottom surface, wherein said bottom surface of said first buoyant element overlies and is coupled with said negatively charged top surface of said first magnetic element, a second joint part including a second buoyant element having a top surface and a bottom surface, a second magnetic element having a positively charged top surface and a negatively charged bottom surface, wherein said top surface of said second buoyant element overlies and is coupled with said negatively charged bottom surface of said second magnetic element, and wherein said positively charged top surface of said second magnetic element opposes said positively charged bottom surface of said first magnetic element, and a liquid disposed between said positively charged bottom surface of said first magnetic element and said positively charged top surface of said second magnetic element, wherein said first and second joint parts are moveable relative to one another and are in fluid communication with said liquid. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
