An international sensation, Dragon's Den features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

[@MatecaCorp]

A hydraulically operated table and chair set that rises from the floor isn't exactly something "Joe Public" would be able to afford, and a rich person wouldn't want something like that because their gardens are plenty big. The dragons didn't even bother going into the large amount of maintenance and electricity a hydraulic system requires, and of course there's the fact that folding furniture already does the job far better and at far less cost. The label of "over-inventive" fits Jim perfectly.

[@jakecooper5855]

I'm not surprised the dragons didn't spend much time discussing the problems with hydraulic systems, on account of his invention not being a hydraulic system.

[@poznaniak8349]

The product offered is a pneumatic system, not a hydraulic one. That's why he explicitely calls out his competition for doing hydraulic, which is much more "heavy-duty". I don't think it makes for a good product either, but there's not much maintenance or electricity required, once set up. Industrial pneumatic cylinders are designed for 24/7 operation and can, depending on size, do up to millions of cycles without needing attention.

[@TheManInBlueFlames]

No but what about show gardens, with moving plants and stuff. It would be cool!

[@sam-psonsmith9951]

@@TheManInBlueFlames there is definitely a market for it, and you could sell some. The bigger question is, is the market big enough for them to actually make their investment back. Let's say he makes the business work to a point that he can earn enough to feed himself with. That doesn't mean they will get anything back for their investment. It could take years just to get even. Not worth the investment.

[@rickysmyth]

His next invention is the silent smoke alarm

[@RockyDave]

Fastened to the wall by a detachable weld.

[@Proxinem]

Or, the alarm only stops beeping when there's a fire

[@TheManInBlueFlames]

The idea of this, especially in the early 10s when this was aired, was genius! To use these pop up garden products, one could easily create two or three layers of garden for garden shows or use them to carry plants or other things!

[@user-oe1mb9hu9i]

BUT: Have they ...... ??? NO because it makes no sense and if it did it wouldn't be practical AND it's too expensive.

Why would you need this for a multilayered garden? Why do you want your plants to move up and down?

From the series “Amazing Discoveries”. Only Mike Levy is missing.

there's over 10 different ways this could've been better and usable. Using decking - a perishable material, and pneumatics - a heavy and expensive system, is not one of them. Also, patented twist and lock? wat.

I smiled at the clever idea for eating from the floor, it was not a moment to all look at each other and crack up. Seriously they do it so often, absolutely cracking up like that for what was no more than slightly amusing. I mean with the way they go, you would be expected to pause the video through tears of laughter obscuring your view and trying to get past it without being sick It was, at best, a smile moment. Anyway 5 minutes later Debby explains about how her poncey mates have a marble floor that does it, so they eat from dirty toe rubbed marble, no one mentions it lol

[@dimitar4y]

WAT?? Hydraulics kill people? How?? They're extremely much safer than pneumatic, which is basically explosive and high speed.

[@BenjaminGoose]

You can easily be crushed by a hydraulic system.

[@dimitar4y]

@@BenjaminGoose so can a pneumatic one too, but hydraulics are generally slow and easy to avoid and covered in labels everywhere

[@angelinasouren]

The value is in the mechanism. I bet that is what the patent is for, either essentially or wholly. Jim has to find a far better use for the mechanism.

[@karlfriedrich7758]

There's nothing special about the mechanism, it's a straightforward pneumatic piston - he even has it on display. It rotates because it's just sealed with o-rings like any pneumatic piston is. His patent would be for using it in a table, which in itself isn't much of a selling point because he's overcomplicated it. These types of tables exist in boats already and they're electric for several reasons and the same reasons would apply to this because there are numerous flaws with it for reliability and practicality.
