Rough weather lately. The ferry ride back to Gozo wasn't that pleasant, with all the swaying and rocking back and forth. Having just eaten, I really wasn't in the mood to throw up. So I closed my eyes and covered my face and just concentrated for a couple of minutes.
Then it hit me.
A lot of people suffer from seasickness. There have been many methods which were tried to help stop it or at least minimize it. But have they tried suspended seats? Yes, seats chained from the ceiling, making them look like giant swings. How would this work? Well, as the ship sways from side to side, the seat remains stationary and the person wouldn't be feeling the same motion the ship is going through.
It's kind of like the principle of having buildings' bases allowed to roll during earthquakes, but instead of moving ground, there's moving water. Swivel chairs, or other seats on wheels wouldn't work because the ship itself is moving against the current, but when something is suspended it isn't affected.
Mass production will start immediately. I will be the guy dragging chains behind me, using them to dangle your seat from the ceiling. No need to thank me. Actually, yes there is. Cash would do.
P.S. There wasn't really any strong thinking behind all this, so chances are that I'm really way off and the whole idea is in fact downright stupid. Therefore I strongly advise that you do not try this on any ship. Seriously, don't go strapping the Gozo Channel chairs onto the ceiling.
