Child creates vacuum cleaner-powered Spider-man suit

Kids are getting smarter and innovative now. This kid by the name of Hibiki Kono used two 1,400 watt vacuum cleaners so that they have enough power to suck up against a wall. The end result is a super suit that is a little Iron Man and Spider-man at the same time. Maybe his idea should be mass produce for kids. As they always dream of being some marvel super hero. But of course the equipments produce should try to limit the height or have mattresses and harnesses while playing with it.
