New Star Wars Inspired "Hovering Chair" Coming

The Lounger, a hovering chair inspired by
the land speeders from the "Star Wars" science
fiction movies, is set to go on sale in Britain
in March. The furniture hovers above the ground
using three strong magnets to give a feeling of
weightlessness, the Sunday Times of London
reported. Keith Dixon, 40, of Middleton said he
has already gotten response about his invention
from around the world. "Sitting on it is an
incredible sensation," he said. "You are defying
gravity." The chair is comprised of a base and a
see-through acrylic seat all with magnets repelling
each other, forcing the seat to float up to 14 inches
above the base. A pair of connecting rods stops the
seat shooting off sideways but allows it to move up
and down. "The lounger moves when you sit down, but
then it finds its own level," said Dixon, adding that
it can hold up to 266 pounds.

The saying is so true that what you can dream, you can achieve.
