After experiencing two major earthquakes himself, Chinese pensioner Wang Wenxi was determined to building something that could help people survive such devastating events. He came up with an idea called the 'earthquake bed.'

Check out how it works:

Basically, this is an earthquake proof bed.

He explained to China Daily at the time that his vision called for a bed to transform into a strong box that “encases residents” if a quake hits. At least one real-life video of something resembling this concept exists, but now an animated demo video recently posted to YouTube appears to suggest Wang’s dream may be closer to being realised.

This is how it works:
