Invention
Incredible may be a hyperbole, but this could be really cool. When I saw the floating bed here for 1.5mil I thought why not a floating chair? It would be cheaper and easier to make, just superglue some powerful magnets on the legs, superglue an eyehook in them and attach a short elastic cord to a similar eyehook on some magnets on the floor (to avoid drifting off the magnets.)
You'll have to play with the magnet strength to adjust it for the right amount of "cush" for your weight, but it should let you wiggle around kind of like a rocking chair. Do you think it would feel floaty or would it basically be exactly like a chair with legs on the floor (other than the wiggle factor?)
Is this your invention? Your brain is entirely too busy.
ReplyDeleteYep and Yep :-)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE MAGNETS and have always enjoyed playing with them. It seems you'd have to give thought to the design and maybe how "level" the floor magnets..if they both kind of push off to the right or left it might not be pleasant.
ReplyDeleteMagnets are awesome, and the electric motor was a basic but cool application...but it does seem like we kind of "stopped" there except for magnetic "healing" bracelets...which are a scam by the way..LOL>
When it comes to floating...(take it from someone who can "float on water" even as a small child..LOL), I wonder why we don't do more with "water" cushions for chairs.
At a children museum I saw a whole play table with thousands and thousands of magnets and kids can just go wild...wow..wouldn't that have been more fun than a pool table! But nowadays...parents installing such a luxury would probably find sooner or later...how lovely they affect their hard drive.
Yeah, I heard about this company that was selling a particular magnet that none of their shipping employees would retrieve if it were ordered; a special guy had to go get it from inventory and bring it out to the shippers, and everyone had to put away anything metallic or staplers and scissors and such would be winging across the room like shrapnel.
ReplyDeleteNow with a couple of those kind of magnets, you could probably make your bathtub float, and I could uplicate your trick :-)
