Abstract - The FSMO is a device that is designed to capture the mechanical energy created as a suspended backpack load oscillates vertically on the back during gait. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the effect of a suspended-load backpack system on selected temporal and kinetics parameters describing gait. The purpose of this work is to design and development of floating bag. Our paper proposes to design a backpack that permits the load to move relative to the wearer during walking and running so that the large movements between the load and the wearer of the backpack reduce the fluctuations of vertical motion of the load with respect to ground. Because the hip (and thus the pack body) increases and decreases significantly when walking; a significant amount of relative movement between the user and the load lowers the load's absolute excursion. A rack and pinion gear, for instance, can be used to send this movement to a motor, which will then transform the mechanical movement into mechanical or electrical energy. By shifting the suspended weight in relation to the wearer, the wearer's body experiences less force when walking or running, which lowers the risk of orthopedic injuries. The FSMO includes a suspension system having a first portion connected to shoulder straps directly or through an interface and a second portion connected to the pack body and a compliant mechanism that permits the second portion of the suspension system and the pack body to move up and down relative to the first portion of the suspension system in accordance with a gait of the wearer of the backpack.
