...particularly eccentric walker: "The most extreme Los Angeles walker I know is called Mudman, a persona of the artist Kim Jones. In order to become Mudman, Jones coats his body in mud, pulls a thick nylon stocking over his head, puts on a foam headdress, and then straps to his back a large lattice structure made of wooden slats, tree branches, wax, wire, tape, sponge, and whatnot.

...panels - you feel like an astronaut crossed with a figure skater - are products of multiple levels of technological innovation. Speedo used a NASA lab to measure more than 90 different fabrics in a wind tunnel to find the one with the smallest drag coefficient. It eventually settled on a nylon estane base fabric and a thin polyurethane membrane for the panels. Speedo hired ANSYS Fluent - known most recently for its work on the Formula One team BMW Sauber - which used computational fluid dynamics to measure the parts of the body with the most drag. And biomechanists used flume testing (basically...
