  • Tensegrity Table will amaze you how only strings in tension can support a table top. This video will explain the mechanics and physics behind the stability of this table. The use of compression and tension components along with clever mechanical configuration is shown and discussed.

      @kavorka8855 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      it's not explained correctly, there is no compression, there's tension and shifting if "centre of gravity
      edited: also, the explanation doesn't need so much words

    • @alexflores4458
      @alexflores4458 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @Felix yes but it's always nice to hear the proper words to describe things, in the other videos I saw, they never say what tensegritiy means, also this is only 3 min long, compared to the 15 min on other videos with more craftsmanship focus, I guess there is a reason why you clicked in this video.

    Being an elementary teacher, it was incredibly satisfying to finally find a video that explains the concept well enough for all ages since literally every other video is almost incomprehensible to a young mind.

      Before this video:
      Spaceship?
      - Rockets.
      Car?
      -Wheels & engine.
      Tensegrity Table?
      WTFF WHAT HOW??
      Kinda still feel the same after the video.

    This is a good explanation of how compression members and tensile members can be made to work together to produce a stable structure. The problem is though that it isn't fully stable, since the rectangular configuration permits considerable side sway which is unacceptable if the structure is to be a useful table instead of just a novelty. All that is necessary is to use the stability of tensile members arranged in triangles and all will be well.
