"if you have been living dangerously, you may cap your lids now"

This is an extraordinary well explained tutorial on tensegrity.

Best stuff learned during quarantine

Thank you---very clear and helpful!

Thanks for the beautifully detailed instruction :) However, there's a chance of simplification... Struts will slide easily without caps if the notch in the sticks is too wide for the diameter of the (stretched) string. While capping (or similar) is necessary when tendons are doubled like seen here, a slit width slightly smaller than the not tensioned string makes building much easier.

Great tutorial. Thanks very much!

Thank you! Just finished the build and it looks great! Gonna use it in yin yoga training courses :)

You are very welcome!

Hey thank u for giving such a tensegrity

Well thank you! Have you made your own yet? You can extrapolatethe design to come up with some cool shapes.

There is another way to build these tension structures. If you add holes to the strut centers your ends can be tied more directly to the strut below. I added this note with more detailed info to youtube "how to build a tensegrity icosahedron"

good stuff!

I made my first Tensegrity model !!!! very good instructions!!! thanks.

Thanks!

thank you

Cool...now I need to find materials to make this!!

Very interesting

how do you make the bars??

Where can i find the rubber tips?

the case when I first tried to do everything myself and after several hours of trying to go nowhere I decided to look at the instructions and realized that I did not have the right components for this design

Does tensegrity work in reverse? The structures I've seen so far are stable against gravity pressing down on them. Would a similar tensegrity structure be stable against centrifugal forces pulling it apart? Or would you have to rearrange the tension and compression elements to get the same effect?

thts exactly how my brain will look like aftr this video ! screw the rods!

very clear and helpful, thank you! where can i buy these rods, or dowels, that already have the notches in them?

I will build a Tensegrity for my homework. But I don't know somewhere to find this sticks. Can somebody please help me? Where can I find it?

Want to see the simplest 2D tensegrity model? Take a look at a kite. Want to see even 1D one? Just look at a bow. Tensegrity is magic came true. :)

How can I get higher with my model please ?

yeeeeees

Super

hello Anabelle, thanks for your video. Is there a name for this specific model ??

portfolio time

Hello👋🙋‍♂️ there.. Amazing and very interesting project.. Super like👌👌👌 Well explained Do keep posting👍 Warm regards and best👍💯 wishes✨✨✨ The UnknownManCub 👍😎👨‍🏭

Can you be more specific? What would you like to learn?

Why do you call them strings when they are actually giant rubber bands (stretchable)?

Pollo Pollo... Patata

Just built one from Legos and elastic bands in 5 minutes.

i just throw bread crumbs around the house and allow yeast and fungus to grow into furniture and home decors etc,i also eat in my bed now so i dont need to buy pillows and bed sheets etc...and hopefully by the end of this year id have created a heaven for all kinds of insects,reptiles and small mammals to open up an observational centre, be self taught and earn a respectable degree in behavioral science among species and document the course of nature's transformation from a inorganic concrete structure to bio diverse zoological garden

🤔.....?......

Esse cameramen... deixou muito a desejar. 😕
