Page 1 of A Floating Bed - And A Dumb Question...

Quite a cool bed here, although not one for the Bargain Buckets forum at 1.2m Euros.

However, one thing that`s puzzling me is that I can`t understand how the magnetic force that`s keeping it place won`t need to change if somebody actually gets onto it. The only thing I can think of is that there might be some kind of computer changing the force depending upon the weight of it? :/

Anybody slightly more awake than me today care to resolve my undoubted idiocy?

pass... looks a good idea though, can i order one for the spare bedroom as well?

Wow, that's so cool.. I want one, I wonder if my student budget would stretch to one of those :D …

It says small cables hold it in place. I guess with out those it would be repeled higher. so, hear comes the science bit, any added downward force would be less than the upwards force all ready being exurted in pounds newton per square inch (80-1/0x)

Am I the only one that would want it done up to look like a Star Wars Landspeeder ?

Ah, I see. I assumed the cables would be coming from the ceiling which is why I couldn`t get my head around it. Makes much more sense with the cables coming from the floor - well done :)

Although people with piercings should have no problem sleeping on the bed, Ruijssenaars advises them against entering the magnetic field between the bed and the floor.

^ The very first thing it occured to me to do.
