Is it Time for a Magnetic Floating Bed?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the most-definitely dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In one of the coolest implementations of ridiculously expensive tech to come along in a while, it seems that a Dutch architect has created a magnetically suspended bed. That is, if you happen to have a spare $1.54 million laying around you don't know what to do with and don't mind being careful about your piercings when getting the cat from under the bed."

    It's held to its place with small metal wires, so it's not totally flying. I thought it'd be a solution against bed bugs and fleas, as they wouldn't be able to get on the bed. But no.

    I suggest, before post on this subject, you need to do some research in the following subjects:
    • AC induction heating
    • jewellery materials
    • Girls
    Probably in that order, since research into the second item might help with research into the third item.
