Reading this article where scientists have levitated mice using magnetic fields interacting with the water in their body. Cool. Research is still going on about the long term effects but I suspect there are few. We are surrounded by a magnetic field each and every day and we wear and interact with magnets all the time.
The research is looking at diagnosing bone loss for astronautsbut why not use it within an area on the spaceship to force them on the floor giving artificial gravity for anything with water in but not food and pens yet. Unless pens have a higher water content than I think. At the very minimum it would remove the requirement for the vomit comet and give each astronaut more exposure to weightlessness at reduced risk and cost.
Anyway, I’ll leave that to the scientists. What I want is a unit here in my home that I can sleep in where I can float and take the stress and strain from my body. Would be interesting for sex as well. Sounds great to me.
Now I’ve got my pervy thoughts out of the way I would guess it would also be of use in hospitals for burns victims and people looking at taking their body weight off a bed for some reason, sores etc.
Life is what happens, while you are busy making plans. — John Lennon (1940 – 1980)
Artificial gravity is nearly here
