The Fractal Chair

If you didn't sing soprano after sitting in the chair, I'd call that a win......

Chairy wood 😂

Haha what a creative idea!

Tongue and groove? Groove and groove? One could say that it's.... /groovy./

No, I won't see myself out.

Are you using your strong hand?

Maybe incorporate roller bearings so... nm you just mentioned ball bearings =P

The best science is mad science. This is delightfully mad.

It needs springs!

It's still a fractal vice, but the only thing it clamps conforms to its surface, not the other way around.

👍 ...because i would have never thought you would have actually finished this crazy design, so thank you for the nice suprise!

so you mean a bean bag?

Bruh you got some bobby duke vibes in the beginning

I wonder if you could make the back a part of the bottom most curve, and then make it out of wood mostly. Add a spring, and you have a lighter...... rocking chair that is even more dangerous. maybe it pinches you as it launches you....

Awesome build

No intro!! 😢

line 15 in that patent was my favorite... and i'd like to put my tongue in your groove.

My boys ran for the hills when he sat down😂

Now we know why this is not a thing . So much material wasted for useless chair like this ... People realize a flat or clean surface is enough for a seat . And talking about economic point of view , and then also rubber,plastic , rope , leather , spring , suspended design , foam and all the design and material we know today enter the chat .

cool project

Put wheels on the bottom for the extra Rolling, and also its heavy so easier to move atleast horizontally

Esses trem de fractal chair é chique, eu gosto.

this looks like a solution looking for a problem but also the design is ahead of the fabrication methods. we could probably get a 3d printed version that takes full advantage of printing the materials designed specifically for the application. 3D printed fabrics in place of wooden slats. yes not soft but could be used as the seat material and be more flexible

Ahhh satisfyingly, over engineered.
I wonder what memory foam would be like in a chair?

Great job, but I can’t help it. To me, this contraption looks like an answer to the question „What would a deckchair designed by an Inquisitor look like?“. Scary stuff. 😬

A fractal vise, except it's for your butt...

Over engineered, overly complicated, impractical. . .in other words. . .PERFECT!
p.s. Those bearings need some Nutella!🤣

Fasten a strip of leather/fabric between each slat pair so they maybe jiggle less? 🤔

I feel like the wood should be close to the pivot point of the smallest semi circle, where the steel rods are
it would make them not over rotate

Wow that's some neat engineering, and great presentation!

Too many steps to manufacture. Not economically feasible to make, except for yourself by hand.

72000 holes sounds like a RMI and a half

All that work... Isn't that what a cushion is supposed to do? LOL

Perineum Biter 4000.

Hmm, what if you upholstered the slats?🧐

Amazing design! I wonder if rounding the slats a bit more might make it a bit more comfortable. Or adding padding to the slats.
More slats is also something that might help, like having 12 instead of 8, but that would make it even heavier and more complicated to make so it might not be worth the effort.

I love the looks! Would adding cloth around the slats covering the gaps help with the comfort?

Lol. Idk about this. Looks pinchy. Or am I wrong?

What if there's some sheet above it which is flexible but not stretchy ?

Nice job Cornholio. Not sure how I missed this one. Maybe I was busy building a fractal lounge chair. Probably not though. Sorry to hear about the hernia, I've had two, because apparently, I'm way stronger than my groin area.

Rubbing those fresh cut threads…. You get a lot of metal in your skin? Lol

Nice chair, Cornholio!

Sorry for your injury. Sick build dude!

This was actually a little thought provoking. It would be interesting to look at other old, expired patents that didn't go anywhere and see if they could be functional and possibly modernized
