Hibiki Kono climbs a brick wall after turning himself into Spiderman

News: www.thescottishsun.co.uk Clever Hibiki, 13, made his incredible climbing machine in school technology lessons. The lad, who is a big fan of the superhero, spent five months designing and making the gadget. He attached two giant suckerpads to the 1400-watt cleaners – and uses the vacuum suction to grip the wall and support his weight. The lad, who attends King’s College School in Cambridge, said: “I used to dress up as Spiderman when I was younger and I love all the films. “So it’s great to be able to climb walls like him. I’ve climbed up the school wall but I’m not allowed too high. “It’s not scary and I completely trust the machine.” His design technology teacher Angus Gent said: “I’m hugely proud of him. “When he came to me with the idea at the beginning I had my doubts – but once he proved it could be done I encouraged him. “He developed it himself, which is amazing for someone of his age.” Headmaster Nick Robinson added: “We’re thrilled with his hard work. He went up a wall for assembly and it was amazing.” But some walls are off bounds. Hibiki said: “My mum thinks it’s brilliant. But she won’t let me use it in my bedroom as she’s worried I may pull down the ceiling.” News: www.thescottishsun.co.uk
