The Anti-Earthquake Bed and other inventions of Dahir Insaat
The videos of the Turkish company Dahir Insaat are a viral phenomenon online, but I wasn't aware of them until recently. So perhaps they'll be new to some of you as well. Some info about the company and its strange videos from Wikipedia:
Dahir Insaat (Turkish for "Dahir Construction")... is a company founded in Istanbul by Russian engineer and inventor Dahir Kurmanbievich Semenov. It is known for its futuristic design concepts, including concepts for large quadcopters, automation, and prefabrication. The designs are generally dismissed as wildly impractical, and the animated videos featuring them have frequently gone viral on the internet due to their absurd nature. Semenov has been compared to prolific inventor Buckminster Fuller.
One of Dahir Insaat's designs is for a bed that becomes a "fortress" in an earthquake. Critics have described it as a claustrophobic coffin.
Another design is for an aerial train. Insaat says it could travel at 400 mph with electricity supplied by a tether that is linked to an electrified rail. This rail runs on the ground between stations.
The firm's other designs include a drive-thru supermarket which would literally be driven through and a gyroscopic transport vehicle that would move above traffic.

I'll bet that flying train tether could slice through a vehicle stalled on the tracks like butter.

Very practical to have your 8-kg bag of rice and 10-pound bag of potatoes handled with arms outstretched. Oh wait. There won't be any 8-kg bags or rice or 10-pound bag of potatoes, because the market will only stocks stuff designed to fit in their tiny rotating shelves.
