Recycled Materials

II. INTRODUCTION/RATIONALE -

Today's chairs are undergoing a rapid evolution. It can be made of metal, wood, or

plastic. There are literally many different types and varieties of chairs available today, and it

is clear that as time goes on everything changes, so do chairs. The researcher has therefore

developed the concept of a levitating chair. with the aid of recycled materials and magnets.

The idea to employ recycled materials came to the researcher because pollution has become a

major problem worldwide. destroying habitats and nature.

Today's technology is developing quickly. making impossible things possible.

Since practically everything today is high tech. The researcher came up with the concept to

employ a magnet to build a levitating chair. Recyclable materials will be used to construct

the chair, and the researcher will attempt to make the chair float with the aid of magnets. And

to go along with that, strong magnets are needed. Magnets, however, can be harmful if we

don't use them carefully.

 Magnets is dangerous depends on how people handle it. The use of magnets is

crucial in this study. Since the magnet will lift objects made of recycled materials, which can

be hazardous because of the components it contains. Moreover, sizes of magnets may affect

the force by levitating objects. Since there will be a lot of magnets required to levitate a

person.

According to Stanford Magnets (2020), “There are different aspects of, whether

magnets are dangerous or not. This totally depends on the situation. Magnets are dangerous if

they are not handled with care, and the danger increases, the more powerful the magnet gets.

Fingers and skin can get caught between strong magnets, and the bigger ones can even cause

bone fractures. However, we cannot claim that using magnets will allow us to levitate

objects. "

In addition to that, According to Electromagnetic Levitation Inc. “You can’t make

a magnet magically float in the air above another magnet. At least, that’s true if you’re using

just a pair of strong magnets. Magnets can repel each other with enough force. Having

enough force to levitate it isn’t the problem. The problem is that this setup isn’t stable. The

floating magnet tends to rotate around, flipping itself to attract to the other magnet.”

Without exercising caution, using magnets can be harmful and result in injuries. It

will be tough to prevent accidents, especially when utilizing strong magnets; if magnets are

not handled carefully, a lot of possible things can occur. Especially when those who will

utilize it are unfamiliar with how magnets operate and how it revolves. Magnets, also can

affect an electrical equipment, for instance, phone cards, smart watches, SD/storage cards,

credit cards, computer hardware, video and audio cassettes, pacemaker users, and heart

defibrillators. This will permanently harm people's electronic devices.

  The researcher had simply designed the product for aesthetic purposes. The

concept was developed to produce furniture that was out of the norm, since modern chairs are

remarkably similar and nearly identical. This work can be used by future researchers to

create high technology items including furniture, and medical equipment.

III. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The general objective of the study is to develop a Levitating Chair with the use of

Magnets and Recycled Materials.

Specifically, the study aims to:

1. Design an innovative high technology chair with the following characteristics:

A.Made with Recycled Materials

B.Equipped with strong magnets.

2. Create a project with levitating chair using recycled materials and it is also equipped with

strong magnet, that will make the chair and human levitate.

3. Test and evaluate the product in terms of performance efficiency, usability, reliability,

effectiveness, and satisfaction.

4. Evaluate the performance of the levitating chair in terms of performance efficiency, usability,

reliability, effectiveness, and satisfaction using survey questionnaire made by the researcher. 

IV. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This research is made with the aim to provide crucial information and knowledge

regarding the chosen topic. The Development of Levitating Chair with the use of Magnets and

Recycled Materials can benefits the following:

Student. Levitating chair can transform the learning experience of the children. Students are

more motivated and perform better when the furniture is flexible.

Health. It can support people’s posture and help with back pain. The product feature a backrest

that has been designed to support the natural curvature of the spine. 

Environment. This help to reduces the consumption of resources required to make new ones.

This help in saving the trees and also contribute towards dealing with global warming.

Community. This study will benefits the community by giving them a comfortable seat that

designed for all users.

V. METHODOLOGY

This chapter explain and provide various methodologies which approach the

design and function that are relevant to the research. The study will include the design

base on the solution to the several complains on the chair which is the discomfort by

using it.This study proposed a digital presentation from several part.

FIGURE 1. LEVITATING CHAIR

Figure 1 shows the overall appearance of the Levitating Chair.Fiberglass and

magnets are used to generate the material in this furniture. Additionally, a bolt is included to

guarantee that the magnets will not flip over when placed above one another. In this graphic,

overall dimension are also displayed.
