  • I really wanted to try and build a one string tensegrity table and I am pleased that it worked so well. watching these pieces defy what the logical brain says should work is pretty cool and well worth the build. Having a floating table around the office will be lots of fun

    The other tables are actually having the top table hanging from the bottom table (which sounds weird but really isn't),while yours is using tension to have the string (rope,rly) behave like a solid rod.
    Also some vague physics memory tells me that this will never take a lot of sideways load,since strings don't really like being tensioned absolutely straight all that much.
    Anyway: not the same thing. Still interesting,but not what the other videos do.

    • @Keasbeysknight
      @Keasbeysknight 4 года назад +1

      Yeah, gotta cut the top and bottom connections and just leave the one in the middle. Ideal is to make it look more floating, but with the rope through it all it kinda breaks that illusion. Still cool, but a different sort of cool.

  • @playswithcuriosity3292
    @playswithcuriosity3292 4 года назад +1

    Umm... I believe the point is to not have one continuous rope run through the entire piece, but to have the bottom piece suspended by the top piece (or rather the top piece suspended by the bottom piece). Then the four on the outside restrict side to side force.

      @fecnde 4 года назад

      The top piece is actually supporting the one below it, all the way down. The top is indeed holding the bottom up. In a sequence.

    @researchandbuild1751 4 года назад +1

    This one doesnt seem as impressive though because it is more obvious how the rope underneath works to support it
    The reason the tensigrity table is so trippy IS because of the four ropes on the sides, it makes you think they are somehow acting as supports but your brain knows rope doesnt work like that, so it just really messes with your mind. Without those four ropes you just immediately see the center rope and are like "yes of course that works"
