In the first embodiment, each nozzle 6 is equipped with an electromagnet 42 or a superconducting electromagnet 43, and steel plates 53, 56 are attached to the soles of the tightrope walker boots. In the second embodiment, each nozzle 6 is equipped with a steel plate 44, and electromagnets 54, 57 are attached to the soles of the tightrope walker boots.

The device operates as follows.

At platform 20, a suit is put on a tightrope walker, boots with steel plates or electromagnets attached to the soles of the belt. The tightrope walker connects the hand control panel to the safety belt, connects the lounge 25, the electric cable 65 and through the opening B approaches the pole 23.

In the first embodiment of the invention, the tightrope walker includes, on the hand control panel, electromagnets 42 nozzles 6 No. 1, No. 2. The signal lamps 47 light up. The tightrope walker takes pole 23 with both hands and turns it upside down, hooks the loop of the foot of the left foot onto the loop 7 with the swivel, hooks of the foot of the right foot hooks into the loop of 8 with the swivel and hangs on both legs. He transfers his left leg to the nozzle 6 No. 1 with the electromagnet 42 turned on, while continuing to hang on one right leg. Drawn with his left foot to the nozzle 6 No. 1 and hanging on both legs. He transfers his right foot to the nozzle 6 No. 2 with the electromagnet 42 turned on, while continuing to hang on one left foot. Drawn with his right foot to the nozzle 6 No. 2 and hanging on both legs. Alternately including the electromagnets of the nozzles, the tightrope walker moves along the rope in an upside down position. Having reached the last nozzle, the tightrope walker turns off the electromagnet of the penultimate nozzle, transfers the right foot and hooks the loop of foot 9 with the swivel, hangs on both legs, turns off the electromagnet of the last nozzle, transfers the left foot and hooks of the foot of the left foot hooks the loop 10 of the swivel hanging on both legs. Next, the tightrope walker turns 180 ° on swivel loops and makes a similar movement in the opposite direction.

In a second embodiment of the invention, the tightrope walker grabs the pole with both hands and turns upside down. The arch of the foot of the left foot is hooked to the loop 7 with the swivel, the arch of the foot of the right foot is hooked to the loop 8 with the swivel and hangs on both legs. On the hand control panel, it turns on the electromagnet of the left foot, transfers the left foot to the nozzle 6, hangs on one right foot, is attracted by the left foot to the nozzle 6, hangs on both legs. It turns on the electromagnet of the right leg, transfers the right leg to the nozzle 6, hangs on one left leg, is attracted by the right foot to the nozzle 6, hangs on both legs. There is also a rope entrance, bypassing the swivel loops. In this case, when the electromagnets are turned on, the tightrope walker with both legs is immediately attracted to the nozzle 6. Next, the tightrope walker on the hand control panel turns off the left foot magnet, hangs on the right foot, takes a step with the left foot of any length and simultaneously turns on the left foot magnet, is attracted to the nozzle at the point of contact , hangs on both legs, turns off the magnet of the right leg, hangs on the left leg, takes a step with the right foot of any length and simultaneously turns on the magnet of the right leg, is attracted by the right foot to the nozzle at the point of contact, hangs on both n ogah and so on step by step until the nozzles end. For a 180 ° turn, the tightrope walker leaves the nozzle on the swivel hinges and turns on or turns on them when walking on the nozzles anywhere.

At the end of the show, the tightrope walker grabs pole 23 with his hands, flips upside down, enters platform 20 through the opening B, disconnects the lounge and power cable, removes the safety belt, boots, suit and other equipment.

When walking, the tightrope walker has the opportunity to put his foot with a shift to the side from the direction of the previous movement, for example, 1/10 of the step length.

When moving on the nozzles, the tightrope walker walks upside down on an inclined to the horizontal and with a screw movement on the surface of the nozzles.

When using superconducting electromagnets, controlling them is similar to controlling electromagnets. To control electromagnets and superconducting electromagnets, the use of a ground control panel 70 is provided.

When controlled from a hand-held remote control, the control signal Ж is transmitted by radio to the shield of manual and ground control and then to the electromagnets (superconducting electromagnets) of the nozzles or to the electromagnets of the legs of the tightrope walker.
