I know it's off-topic, but I thought you might find it interesting.

Let's see here, four electromagnets strong enough to hold up a two ton vehicle? Bet it demagnetizes your credit cards in the process.

If they can find a cost effective way of putting it into production, more power to them, it does seem to be a better mouse trap, but I suspect it will find its way into Maybachs & Bugattis long before it finds its way into Fords & Chevys.

The only use I ever had for Bose was in a car, as a recovering auto engineer they helped me a LOT way back when but I never would have suspected the chassis guys would get something like this to gnaw on!

The phrase, "no highs, no lows, must be Bose" has whole new meaning!!!

I have only read little bits about Amar Bose.
Anyone have a recommendation on a biography?

Probably never intended to make money, it seems, but did so when he turned his name over to marketing geniuses.

It would be an interesting read, but I don't think a comprehensive bio exists of the man.

For the most part, I HATE what the man's company has done to Hi-Fi in America, but the man is VERY successful, and the guy does seem to be somewhat of an eccentric and a modern-day electronics renaissance man.

Maybe he can invent a new vacuum to give that Dyson-guy a run for his money?

...Nah, I'd prefer a phased plasma-riffle in the 40W range!

I'd be happy with a toaster that would consistantly toast a piece of bread without burning the crap out of it or popping up every 12 seconds!

Its 2008. Where's the flying car we were promised when we were kids? Where's the jetpack?

As soon as we convert over to metric, Stu.

...and come out with a carbon-neutral way of refining dilithium crystals.
