L.C. Posted June 2, 2010 Report Posted June 2, 2010 I am looking for a certain kind of device. http://www.winnrentals.com/images/Suction%20Cups.JPG It's sort of like that, except bigger (well, maybe not necessarily in comparison to the cups in the picture) and electronic. Many years ago this was this dude who died (forgot why -- cancer?) who was apparently well known and famous for what he did, one of which I think was train riding. I saw a picture of him on a high speed train (like literally on the outside) gripped/attached to these yellow suction cups, and you could clearly see the digital screen on these devices too. Anyone know what kind of device I'm talking about? I don't know what they're called. Thanks! Keywords: power grip, suction, vacuum, electronic Quote

»Blocks Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 Care to describe what you mean by "electronic"? Quote
Samapico Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 Probably some LED's glued on to make it look cool Quote
»Blocks Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 And also what you mean by "high-pressure," as suction cups depend on low pressure. Quote
LiDDiS Posted June 17, 2010 Report Posted June 17, 2010 I think what you're looking for is a penis-pump? I can sell you my old one if you want. Quote
L.C. Posted June 17, 2010 Author Report Posted June 17, 2010 I got my answer from another forum. These are called vacuum lifts. And here is the guy I was talking about (turns out he's still alive): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZvm5H4F-aA&hl=en_GB&fs=1& Quote
