Grass Wheel lets you feel grass between your toes all the time

Grass Wheel lets you feel grass between your toes all the time

Do you miss the feeling of walking on grass in your bare feet when you trudge around on the sidewalks of your city? Do you feel alienated from nature? Well, this Grass Wheel won't exactly transport you to a hilly meadow, but it's a start.

Essentially, the Grass Wheel is a big, unanchored hamster wheel for people. It's completely covered with grass on its inside surface, so you can just point it in the direction you want to go, step inside and start walking. You'll always be walking on grass, unless of course you point yourself down a hill, at which point you'll be holding on for dear life. Practical? No, but it's a fun idea at least. And that's something.

Even more practical idea.....grass sandals, or should I say "Grassandals". That way you won't have to look like a hamster.
(oops, did I just give away a million dollar idea?)

the feel is when it burshes inbetween your toes, while with "grassandals" the grass
would be stationary inbetween your toes, giving it no space to move or brush.

OK ... what's the influence of rotating gravity on the growth of grass roots?

...or it is a grass-gate? :)

PS: I have offer this picture in the galery of gates on my website. The galery is titled as: >>Find a gate in your town<<.
I hope it is okay.
