Honestly one of my favorite channels. The way you teach things is so simple and understandable i love it. You explain it in such a simple way it makes me feel like an expert even though I just learned about it!
From what I see, the strings on the outer edge are solely for keeping the top section balanced. The bottom part of the top “Y” is pulling tension whilst the top part of the bottom upside down “Y” is the actual load bearer. Pretty cool
@@juayderitaux7677 maybe that's because the point of his channel is to explain the science behind it? Admittedly not that much behind it in this video, but your statement was about him in general
I did some math for you. If everyone who watched this video 3D printed this exact thing once every 270 years, there would still be higher than 50% chance that one of them 3D printed it the same day as the day this video came out.
my life is a lie I think he just used basic education to run math: 50% probability and number of viewers are the independent variables, and average number of years you would like to 3d printing such object is the dependent outcome variable in his setup problem 🤣
Something I would have never thought about. It is almost like an illusion. It tricks you to think it is floating but really the center string is holding it with the outside ones balancing it right? Didn't pay tye most attention to the video so I could be missing something but who cares.
Yeah that’s basically right sadly the illusion part lasted about 1.5 seconds before my brain was like the middle strings holds the weight and the side strings keep it from just falling over
Dude, absolutely. Having a teacher who's genuinely fascinated by what they teach is the best. Anything can be super engaging if the person explaining it is genuinely passionate about that thing. There's something contagious about that sort of passion. But then again, interesting things are only interesting to interesting people. Boring people get bored very easily.
I like how you connected the human body to the tensegrity structure, the explanation took a bit of contemplation to understand... the old expression "you can't push a rope" and the demonstration with the weights on the triangle structure helped me visualize what was going on.
If I'm not mistaken, the center string is in tension because of the weight at the center of mass of the table and the other strings are in tension whenever there is a moment of inertia created at the corners. The reaction force in the centre string is upwards, and at the corner string downwards.
The human body is a masterpiece of engineering. DaVinci appreciated this realization. Bones many times stronger than steel much to the rapier's chagrin. Years ago I was in an automobile accident. I was a passenger in a car that has come to a full stop on the freeway. All of a sudden, we were rear ended by a minivan going 55mph. I was unharmed. Not one scratch although a nasty case of whiplash ensued. Another car accident I was in as an unrestrained (no seat belt) passenger happened years earlier in a 1974 Chevy Nova (car including dash was made from thick guage steel). It was an icy winter intersection that Mom was turning left through (sliding actually as she mashed the brakes). And the other driver had taken a long run from down the street to get over the ice covered hill with that intersection near the top of it. He was doing about 35mph when he hit the driver's front corner of our car as we slid through the icy intersection. The next thing I knew, I was sitting Indian style, cross legged facing the passenger window. I looked down into my lap and picked up the entire rear view mirror assembly. Apparently, my left eye socket had removed it from the windshield cleanly. I threw that mirror on the floor and tried to calm my little sister in the back seat down. She was screaming hysterically. Mom was dazed but seemed unhurt. I noticed a perfect impression of my left knee cap in the already concave part of the heavy steel dashboard just to the right of the radio (impressive)! My scalp had stretched and had a slight tear near the top of my head. It was oozing blood and warmth under my hair (apparently, leftover momentum from the rearview mirror removal was dissipated by oblique contact with the inside of the windshield). Minor injuries just rattled nerves. Most impressive was that left knee impression of mine in that heavy guage steel dashboard and no injury at all, whatsoever!
That's one of the coolest physical thinks I've seen. I already thought myself about this concept and didn't come to a solution, I didn't knew that there's already a solution 👍
There will be incredible quake resistance if the foundation materials can withstand tensile and shearing forces, while enduring weathering, fatigue, corrosion, and thermal expansion.
That structure and your explanation give me a totally different perspective on matter. Is everything under tension in a sense? I'm confusing myself. Must marinate.

I knew how this worked before you said, there is a rope between the weird things and the top one is supported by the bottom one by a thread and that holds it up, not the strings
Thank you for this video. Recently I've been making these with my four-year-old. Your video is so informative. And now he knows, I started to say the GI Joe Mantra but I forgot it LOL I shared this video on a few different Pinterest Boards of mine. Thank you ❤️ have a beautiful day.
The middle thread does all the work. Because it is under tension instead of compression. If the top is perfectly balanced then the middle thread can support the whole structure without the other 3 threads. Love your vids
0:47 "but what if today we wanted to try and experiment where we actually put compressive loads on thread" false, misleading the table is held up by the tension load in the center thread and balanced by the tension loads on the outer one no compression involved
It's a really cool illusion due to the near invisibility of the middle string. The two pieces are actually one, joined by the center string. If the center string was the same material as the rest of the trusses it would be obvious. The top is hanging off the bottom stabilized from side movement by the corner strings.
Wait I haven't finished the video yet but isn't this literally just hanging stuff off of the bottom piece Edit: oh ok he got to the tensile strength bit, hot damn
Many years ago I saw a dining table that used a variation on this. A slender central rod supported the weight of the table, stabilised by thin steel cables connecting base and table top at the corners so it looked as if only the cables were somehow supporting the table.
It's what he basically just said bruh And if u think about it u r wrong Not all the weight its just most of the weight If therr was only a single stringit will definitely tip over cus its not stable So other string will have part of the weight
@@nakulankurmullam2982 No.. You're wrong. The center string took ALL the weight from the top of the table. The outer strings were just keeping the corners in place and if anything would add MORE weight when pulling to either side because of the tension. Ever tried compressing a spring?
@@stormrungaming how can it be dude this whole system is mechanically stable so when u resolve the force vectors everything should match up If it tips to the right the component ofnthe left string balances it
@@nakulankurmullam2982 .. 0:01 - you can see it's not stable enough to hold weight anywhere except the direct center. If you applied weight on any corner, the side with weight could collapse and twist the other 2 sides essentially pulling the bottom and top together adding weight. -releasing potential energy. The only weight supporting structure is the string in the middle. You could attach a newton meter to each string to see what I'm talking about if you can't see it when he pushes on it and breaks it already. Watch closely when he puts the circle weight on it.
As soon as I saw this, I could understand how it worked. The strings have tension below the top of it, holding it in place underneath with a sort of platform above. Really ingenious idea lol.
2:51 Technically the yellow thing is not string and it is supporting the centres of the surfaces of the table. So the table is not standing solely on the basis of strings.
This is the most fascinating thing I've seen all week. Lol I study maths, but if I saw this video during my freshman year of college, I might have continued as a mechanical engineering student 😂😂😂. This was awesome!
