The Bed of the Future

I thought this would make a great bed, so I patented the idea. http://spendenforcer.com/

@VortigernPendragon On the video and on one of your answers you say "Magnetic therapy has been shown to aid in the recovery of strokes and relieve the effects of clinical depression." then you say "Permanent magnets don't emit radiation. Electromagnets emit magnetic waves. These are permanent magnets." So then how will they be any good in therapy? Therapy is done with electromagnets. And why are you showing a plane, the zeppelin tragedy and the A-Bomb? That, like the bed, makes no sense at all.

@Ranavage Both magnets and elctromagnets emit waves. Electromagnets emit electromagnetic waves, permanent magnets emit non-electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves may be detrimental to people, permanent magnetic waves are not. And those pictures were added to create a little levity (no pun intended) to the video. I ran out of pictures to use and needed something to fill in the space. I thought they were kind of funny. Either they are not, or you have no sense of humor.

Oh c'mon. Anyone with an ounce of horse-sense knows why this product will never make it in a market. A regular spring loaded or even foam matress works just as well (or better) and costs a fraction to produce compared to this magnetic bed and is (with exception of fabric chemicals) empirically proven safe! I'm sorry. The person that gave you the grant and yourself need to have some sense beaten into your skulls. Just because it can be done doesn't mean it's a good idea.

@therealkakkamakkara Looks like you need to brush up on your research. When you say works just as well, you aren't being specific as to what that means. The magnetic repulsion has a completely different support ratio than springs or foam and can be manufactured for about the same cost. And, contrary to your concern over side effects, there may actually be health benefits. Magnetic therapy has been shown to aid in the recovery of strokes and relieve the effects of clinical depression.

@VortigernPendragon We use radiation to kill cancer, but it involves temporary well-directed exposure, not prolonged full-body exposure. One shouldn't regularly sleep on magnets for the same reason. Too much of anything (esp. radiation) is more than likely bad. It's funny you claim to care some much about US economy when you want to waste valuable hi-tech metals (Nd, B) on lavish beds. It's senseless and inefficient use of resources.

@therealkakkamakkara Permanent magnets don't emit radiation. Electromagnets emit magnetic waves. These are permanent magnets.

hey man, im an inventor too. i like what ur doin. it would be cool to see this work out. almost as cool as my floating concrete islands. its hard at first when the product is still awkward in the public perception. soldier on if u believe.

From the looks of it, the magnets weren't lowering too much in any area where you were laying, which looks like it would feel as if you're laying on a floor with a small pad under you. Also, as we go further into the future, we are finding more and more uses for electronic technology, which I don't believe would be a good idea to have around this. I may be wrong, but if I'm not, then this is something that would ruin thousands of dollars worth of electronics in my room if I took it too close.

sure the spring will last what about the mattress....the foam they use. they have to replace those? the design needs to be functional if it is for the public use rather than specific use like therapy. still a lot of work to do here but the idea is nice. a lot is question needs to be addressed. ex how long will the metal be magnetic? or is it a permanent magnet? if so, any side effect or harm to the body? to red blood cells?

[thehappyinfidel2011]

Its cool alright. But what are the long term affects to our bodies? I mean you are sleeping on top of a strong magnetic field here. Stronger than anything we normally encounter during the day. Every day, think about it. Would it be like taking an MRI every day? I could be wrong here, I'm not a scientist. But I would need to have some solid verifiable proof this would not harm me.
