Unusual Stools Defy Gravity

7 July, 2012

MessageToEagle.com - Are these stools nice-looking or ugly? Well, that depends on your taste, but one thing is certain - they are different and very unusual indeed!

These remarkable stools have one thing in common, they defy gravity.

How is it possible?

Jólan van der Wiel, a Dutch designer has discovered a way to combine magnetic fields and the power of gravity.

He calls the result "Gravity Stool".

Departing from the idea that everything is influenced by gravitation, a force that has a strongly shaping effect, Jólan intended to manipulate this natural phenomenon by exploiting its own power: magnetism.

The positioning of the magnetic fields in the machine, opposing each other, has largely determined the final shape of the Gravity Stool.

It is the combination of the magnet machine with the plastic material, developed especially for this purpose, that enabled Jólan to start a small but efficient chain of production.

The forms and products are characterized by the freakisch and organic shapes that are so typical of nature itself.

As you can see in this video, Jólan adds iron filings which causes the soft plastic to be extruded and pulled up towards a powerful magnet. Which is how the unique and random design of the stool's legs are created.

Levitating Ball Defies Gravity Incredible Technology Of The Future

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, " Arthur C. Clarke once said. This new invention is close to magic... Scientists have invented a way to make objects levitate and defy gravity. At first glance it can appear like magic, but it is science. As you can see this metal ball is actually suspended in midair! Behind the project called ZeroN we find, Jinah Lee and his MIT colleagues.

Ground-Breaking Discovery Suggests Gravity May Not Be A Fundamental Force Of Nature

Can information really escape from a black hole? According to new research it seems to be possible for something to actually escape from a black hole. If correct, the results are ground-breaking suggesting that gravity may not be a fundamental force of Nature after all! Black holes are objects in space that are so massive and compact they were described by Einstein as “bending” space.
