Conventional crutches have changed very little over the past 5000 years, there have been many attempts to overcome the shortcomings of rigid stiff type walking aids, such as absorbent tips, spring's in the shaft, all with limited successes in storing energy.
The problem with variable drive systems are that they tend to have a scrubbing effect, at any given speed the friction drive area is one to one in the center of contact but either over drives on one side and under drives on the other. This causes heat,
Nuclear fusion is the energy source of the future.

It is accompanied by the release or absorption of energy.
Research into controlled fusion,
Cell phones can be designed for use off the cellular grid. Phone cloud cellular phones act as Internet routers connected using an ad hoc and dynamic networking protocol. The Internet cloud for these phones exists in large part outside the wired Internet. Instead,
Twice the specific power of regular engines, half the cost, half the weight, 30% more fuel efficient.
