Engineering:Conversor marciano
File:Alberto Santos-dumont 3, sem data.tif Conversor marciano, or transformador marciano, is an invention of Alberto Santos Dumont to assist climbers. The equipment was placed on the back, like a backpack, and when a motorized propeller was connected, it reduced the weight of the body in the ascent of mountains. The name of this one that was considered a "strange device" comes from the idea of Santos Dumont to reproduce the gravity of Mars, lower than that of the Earth.[1]
Santos Dumont held a demonstration of equipment in the National Museum in 1932.[2]
It is considered that, with the advent of cable cars, the invention has become obsolete[3] and had negative economic impact on its creator.[4]
