How Does a Zero Gravity Chair Work?
Zero Gravity Zero gravity chairs do not, of course, reduce the pull of gravity on the body. However, their name is derived from the chairs astronauts often use when leaving the atmosphere. The force it takes to propel a spaceship out of the pull of earth’s gravity is considerable, and exerts a large amount of pressure on the astronaut’s bodies. In order to mitigate this multiplied force of gravity, engineers designed astronauts’ seats to be reclined, facing up away from the earth in order to spread the force of gravity out as much as possible across the astronaut’s body. Gravity Displacement Chairs This same idea eventually inspired the zero gravity chair, which is a type of reclining chair that seeks to disperse a person’s weight as much as possible. Generally, these chairs start in an upright position and then tilt backwards until reaching the apex, where the person’s weight is displaced across all the support points across the chair. Some of these chairs work via remote and employ e
