You’ve just recently become my favorite Brit. I’m an old retired yank builder, engineer, tinkerer. My daughter and her family live in London, she just became a leagle citizen of the Uk. It’s funny to be able to tell my son in law he’s no longer my favorite Englishman 😊😊😊. Go Arsenal!
Now I'm going to have to 3D print my own. LOL. But I will add some interesting designs to it. Great cup coasters. Merry Christmas Dr. Smith. Sincerely Akerace Drill.
I was wondering about possible generation, using a glass of water in a vacuum chamber, the boiling bubbles lifting something... slopes would return any evaporated water to the glass....
Great video Rob👍 makes me wonder if you could use ring magnets for the top and bottom to make it full non contact? Thinking that with opposing poles on the rings the centre magnets might keep it all stable to make a frictionless bearing?
That is pretty awesome! Hey, I think someone's making a good run with the reed wind idea. Similar anyway. Katrick Technologies. They put it in a honeycomb design. Looks interesting 🤔 Would have messaged you this but don't know how to in TH-cam anymore
I was literally thinking of this just now. I am trying to design a telescoping device that expands and could tracts based on a pinned cable run and this kind of pulls system. How timely can you be?
I love this! But why do it so complicated? Take a Ringmagnet and fill the hole with a ordenary magnet do it in pairs fast it on two boards and lay down a serpentine coil in the middle let the two boards be like "rings" put them on a bicycle rim! Thanks Robert hope you can see that I mean! /Mikael
Tensegrity type designs always seem to defy the physical design laws that we are accustomed to seeing in association with physical support structures. Always fascinates me. Great presentation, especially regarding wind, water and other renewables! Cheers all👍
That tends to be the case with more conventional triangular struts too. I can see the potential use for tensegrity designs though, it can allow for reduced material costs and weight. See the tensegrity table, for example - that structure replaces the conventional three tablelegs with the equivalent of maybe one and a half legs.
Granted, it may be useful as transducer, but it seems more novel as an approach that remains more art than particularly practical. Might be too gritty.
Love your work Robert. Thanks again and have a great christmas and be safe

I love these I first saw them in my how it works magazines I got in the late 1970s as a inquisitive child & I still have the magazines.
That is very interesting. I have seen the Tensegrity table before, but that windmill was definitely a new use for me!

Wild. I was just playing around the tensegrity designs in SolidWorks last night. Because I was flipping through Steve Molds videos.
Wow, that is quite an astounding wind generator indeed.
Neat as always thanks :)
Awesome! Another great video! Super cool idea for a table!
Very interesting video. 'More of a question than an answer!
Tensegrity ? What the ? Nice demo on engineering . Never heard of the word and thanks for the share. :O)
Thanks for posting
Fascinating video thank you

Im watching my kids play on their trampoline, watching this video, thinking that i need to order some magnets.
I can definitely see great uses for this!

Back when I was a Boy Scout we rigged up a suspended lantern in a tensegrity structure. it was the coolest light in all the camp.
Thank you :)
Yeah, once you realize your muscles can only pull then it becomes amazing we can stand upright at all.
I want to try rope/string spokes on a bike.
How does tensegrity affect peizo electric strips?
That is pretty awesome!

And if piezoelectric cells are used at the ends of the strings?... any vibration could cause tension and in turn electricity.
Ive been trying to imagine a variable radius vawt for a long time. maybe storing excess surge power vertically against gravity. is this the solve?
Knowledgeable video best lagte Hain
oh wow. where from is the footage of these wind turbines? they look amazing!
thanks for these videos!
That's funny I was going to ask if it would be possible to do this with magnets, then you spoke about it 😅

I wonder if tensegrity could be used to build a space elevator?

Why did I have to be the 666th like? Just one of those days. Thank you Mr. Smith.
Well, is tensegrity good? Clip one wire and everything collapses?
