Yet some more ideas for magnetic repulsion..

[markvaughn]

Ok, this isn't highly technical like most posts on this forum, so if these ideas appear asinine it's because they are. These three ideas are attempting to find use for the "cushioning" that happens between two magnets that are repelling each other.
A helmet:

(still needs work, not sure how to keep the two parts of the helmet in place and allow for impact)
A chair:

(not sure if the "cushion" that the repulsion would provide would be any more comfortable than traditional cushioning)
High g force seat:

(probably not be useful at all)

Hello Mark,

You have some pretty clever ideas there!
