Man Creates A Spider-man Web-Shooter

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">if you’ve watched any of the Spider-Man movies released in the last decade and thought it would be awesome to actually <i>be </i>Spider-Man,
 you’re definitely not alone in the universe. I’d say it’s probably a 
fair bet that most all of us have wanted to be the web-slinger at some 
point in our lives. Who wouldn’t want to be able to use webbing to swing
 from building to building and be able to climb up whatever wall stood 
in front of us? And of course there’s the whole crime-fighting thing too
 somewhere in the mix. And did I mention Mary Jane Watson? (Or, Gwen 
Stacie if she’s more your type). I don’t think many of us would turn 
down an opportunity to get to be Spider-Man.</span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">While a large number of kids want to be Spider-Man, some adults even 
endeavor to be the wall-crawler. Take Patrick Priebe for example – <a href="http://gizmodo.com/guy-builds-spider-mans-webslinger-using-an-electromagne-1564188978" target="_blank">when
 he couldn’t find a radioactive spider to bite him, he just decided to 
forego superpowers and created his own web-shooting device.</a> Except 
that it doesn’t really shoot “webs” per se. And you can’t swing around 
town with it. But, apart from that, it’s the next best thing to actually
 being Spidey.</span></b><br />
<img alt="Man Creates A Spider-man Web-Shooter" class="lazy alignnone size-full wp-image-14583 data-lazy-ready" data-lazy-src="http://news.filehippo.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/webshooter.jpg" data-lazy-type="image" height="361" src="http://news.filehippo.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/webshooter.jpg" style="display: inline;" width="708" /><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">As you can see from the image above, that glove looks awfully similar
 to Spider-Man’s glove. Here’s the difference: while Spidey can shoot 
actual webs from his wrist, Patrick’s invention uses a laser targeting 
system to launch an electromagnetic harpoon. And, once the harpoon hits 
its target it can be called back to the wrist, bringing back whatever 
has been grappled.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></b><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Like I said – while you won’t be swinging through Manhattan, it’s 
about the closest you’ll get to shooting webs from your wrist without 
the use of silly string.</span></b><br />
