Falling Up

After years of hard work, Dutch architect/inventor Janjaap Ruijssenaars was finally able to realise his longlast dream: beat gravity. He created Falling Up, the floating bed.

Magnets placed in the bed push away from magnets placed in the floor, thus causing the bed to float in the air. Thin cables attached to the floor keep the bed in a steady position.

Price: $ 1,500,000.-. Ouch!

    I would think this would not be the healthiest way to get your rest. Magentism to sleep on? Not good!

    I suspect the chance of being injured tripping over the cables in an early morning stupor is more cause for worry than the long term effects of sleeping near a source of magnetism.

    Does the 1.5 million include the hi-rise apartment with the mirror finish floor?

    there was already something simliar in holland. It was in the department of social cases i think.It was a large stone wich also floated on magnets. but it did not work, because the changing air (by opening and closing the doors) made it fall for three times.
