Me: oh this is easy Also me when i saw a drill: ight imma head out

If we build this on a mega scale, people would've gone crazy

The physics behind this is quite simple yet interesting. Edit: For those who don't know how it works- Take the thumbnail for example. The middle string holding the suspended top frame makes the frame try to rotate to the left. The two strings on the right counters the rotation, meaning it literally stops the top frame from spinning to the left. The design and force is just enough to suspend it in the air while being able to carry stuff.

An Architect would probably have this planned to rebuild The Trade Center ...

I was expecting something with magnets. This is very cool and surprising.

That is so cool - using fishing line might make the string less visible to enhance the illusion. it looks so stable - amazing.

I'm an engineer and this is one of the coolest things I've seen in the "magic mechanical" category. I'm glad there were no magnets involved. Your tutorial is very clear. I've got to get some ice cream sticks now. Thanks very much.

I work for a science academy, and this project is included in our textbooks. My coworkers watched another DIY video and had difficulty making it. I watched your video and shared it with them, because I made it in one try, thanks to you! It'll be too difficult for the kids to make, so I'm in charge of making 20 since I had success. Haha! Thank you so much for making it simple!

My eyes tell me you can, but my hand disgree

I understand how this works. The string in the middle is the one that's holding up the top part of the object and the ones at the side are there for balancing the entire thing. *THAT'S THE BEST WAY I COULD DESCRIBE IT IN WORDS.*

This would have been a lot funnier if you started "prepare the materials" by eating 8 popsicles.

I haven’t seen anybody credit Buckminster Fuller for the concept of Tensegrity so I guess it’s up to me. Hats off to you, Bucky.

The secret was actually in the middle part. The string in the middle prevents the top part from falling while the other 3 string in the corners were used to hold it in place, it prevents the top from flipping over.

The music went very well with the construction of this interesting visual thanks.

I love how physiks has its weird bugs in it 😅

Me: _needs to sleep_ KZfaq: hey wanna see *How to make an anti gravity suspension structure*

I love that opening track. Good music. I've been playing my piano to it.

This is amazing! Thank you for posting this.

My nieces are going to love building this. Fun simple ideas that lead to teachable moments. Sweet

The physics behind this is way easy yet convincing! Loved it 😍

I did it's half and that's was amazing but as you did it easily I can't 😂

Doesn't work anymore. *God has patched it*

I made this and was happy but still... HOW

Perfect to do in this quarantine. I'll do it right now. Thank you and greetings from Peru

Even actively trying to be as still as possible, Kyle is still an order of magnitude more dynamic and interesting to watch than most educators.

I'm not great at this internet stuff, but I hope many commentors will find value in my words. To answer at least 1 or 2 questions I have seen, this is not a trick. It is real and incredibly similar to - and representative of - tensegrity models. The 3 materials appear to be wooden popsicle/craft sticks, glue, and string/cordage. The 8 glue joints are all fixed connections (the glue makes assembly much simpler). 6 of them represent pinned connections, but the other 2 represent fixed connections. The fixity of these 2 connections is necessary for the function of this structure, and because of these 2 fixed joints (and at least 1 or 2 other nuances) this is not technically a tensegrity model. I am, however, delighted by it, and would enjoy correspondence with it's creator (Yoshiny Yo?). I will likely be building one soon. Thank you for sharing this creation with the world.

Now I see how these work. I am going to make a table like this. I've seen one but didn't know how to make it. Nice video. Thanks.

My mind kept confusing the two points in the middle so I wondered what was holding it up then it clicked. Whoever invented this is a freaking genius lol

Next up: *_How to create hologram_*

Great work. So easy to build! I think I'm gonna make one, too.

Oh my God man this is glorious! Thank you for making this! Im inspired to make an art piece with this style of structure ty so much!

You have opened the door to amazing structures.....

I've just finished a 4 point version with partial success. My own construction is faulty, and I've also reached the conclusion that the 3 corner would be easier to balance. Mine is a bit sturdier however made with 1/4" plywood for top and bottom with small steel angle support pieces from the hardware department. It's intended to be a cup rest or a plant stand. I used Berkeley Fireline because of low visibility, high strength, and negligible stretch. It's my favorite fishing line. If this one works well enough after modifying it to the 3 point design I'll make a chair as a conversation piece. I love the concept and the visual mystery it portrays to the first time viewers.

Instructions unclear, created a Black Hole

I did it today! It works perfectly, but don't support much weight upside. Thank you for the tutorial

This is brilliant! Thank you for sharing all this. That was amazing, you are very talented

It's not about gravity because gravity is acting here only in the middle where one stick(lower) is suspended on the other ( upper) . Upper stick is acting here as a beam on which a stick is suspended and going further on the above portion we found out that the other two sides can't fall coz it will force the other stick to go above which isn't possible coz string isn't elastic enough to do so,can be related to seesaw where for making one side down,other side have to go up.. So it's not antigravity,though it's beautiful..

I have literally watched everything KZfaq has to offer.

Amazing!, thanks a lot, I´m going to do this cinetic sculpture with my litle daughter....it´s magic! greetings from Bogotá, Colombia!

Oo my goodness... That really blew my mind, the moment he finished and showcased it.. Loved it.. Though am a student of science.., i was taken aback.. 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🤩

I love the music, its like firewatch soundtrack :')

Thought I was watching how to basic for a second and thought “oh no”.

I’m gonna make this for myself now. Great vid

Impressionante. Obrigado por compartilhar idéias assim.

The first time i saw something like this was at The Action lab channel where someone explained how it works

Everybody gangsta’ until the sculpt ain’t fall when the string breaks

you motivated me to create 3x anti-gravity sculpture, thank you

Many of you defo know it already but the load of the upper construction is merely suspended on the small string in the middle (it just hangs there), the other 3 long strings on the corners are for stability purposes only. The 'Illusion' comes by the outer 3 long strings look like they are holding the load being under pressure tension which is obviously not possible since they are mere strings

I'm no science expert, yet simply by looking at this model you can tell there is a counterbalance near the middle section. Having such a short thread means it can't fall or rotate easily to the other sides so long as the remaining three outer threads can counter it. That's as much as I got.

Thank you, I am going to try with some of my Primary School students.

After long time KZfaq recommended me the best video👍

so hypnotizing! great job dude.

*The physics for this game are amazing but can sometimes be a bit glitchy*

The music is really nice.

This is truly awesome! It's art at its best. The cool part of science. I have a class project In the future. A scaled up version of this would seem to be fitting. Thanks!

HOW BEATIFUL STRUCTURE YOU DID !!!!!!!!!!!

Muy ingenioso, me gusta. Enhorabuena y un saludo : )

finally something you can copy from KZfaq and not just watch away like a potato

mind blowing design thank you Yoshiny you are gifted!!

yo dude u literally impressed me and i need to build that for my school competition.:D

I thought I had the materials until I saw a drill. Btw it is interesting!

Everybody seem to have that green board. I've looked everywhere with no results.

OMG--OMG Amazing, I followed the steps, and it worked at first attempt.. =)) They loved it, at home... Really thanks, 😎😎👌👌

This looks very cool, at the beggining, i couldnt understand what was gong on, but analyzing the system, it's very simple. Basically see the Strings as vectors, the middle String prevents the whole system to came down, and the wood stick in the middle is the one who's making physic and not magic. But it keep looking very cool.

*Isso é incrível! Obrigado por postar isso.*

The middle string holds the top triangular platform upwards, connected from the two popsicle sticks in the middle, slanted at what I presume is a 75° angle. The two strings from the bottom triangular platform at each point, which is part of the same side of the popsicle stick in the middle, keeps the top triangular platform from falling down and away (at a pivotal angle) from said middle popsicle stick. The last string at the final point of the bottom triangular platform is providing balance between the other two points so they do not sway from side-to-side. All this, ironically, held in place by gravity to create a "gravity-defying" building. What a wonderfully simple piece of architectural engineering.

Wow thanks! I've wanted to make a tensegrity structure forever

This helped me make my pinwheel! Thanks!

I can kind of understand how it works. Not that impress- *puts car on top WAIT HOL ON

This bug will be patched in the next patch. Sorry for the inconvenience

Who first thought of this. Keep your eye on him. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Fascinating. The "triangle" eliminates the problem of creating a plane .....so expand the thought process to using a ring ....but anchoring only at the three points, and then apply the center actual support connection.

Come on! I wanted to see how you cut the wood with that blade!

Great for physics teachers (not so great for phsyics students ;) ). What is the tension in each string given the masses of the sticks? For more advanced students, what are the frequencies of the normal modes?

There's a video of a guy making full-size table version of this.. Still this miniature version in this vid sells the illusion better.. Didn't expect it to be this sturdy, it was only when I seen car put on it that I was even more amazed

It is pure physics and your sharpening skill. He balanced the tension forces and centre of mass played the game.

2:29 the music sounds like Road Trippin's guitar chorus.

Interesting, the center string is supporting all the weight whilst the other three in the corners stabilize the structure.

The main section in this mechanism is the middle one ☝ without it it would doesn't work . But seriously this guy has more creative mind and knowledge . I appreciate it by *_heart_*

Pretty cool. Never saw something like this before.

youtube before: how to make muscles easily in short time! youtube now: how to break laws of science!

Nice bro 👍

Complexity of the human mind .. never ceases to amaze

Ok so basically the stick thats going down from the top section is being held up by the bottom stick. Its able to balance because the popsicle stick that sticks down has on string holding it, while the ones without it are held down by two, so it balances out. Also, it helps for it to not tip over

Imma experiment using different shapes and angles

Yoshiny Yo, I liked this video so much but from where did you get this idea, I mean from some book, any google search,or another video from KZfaq?

I cannot believe this type of gravity, thanks for sharing !

Interesting & mind blowing 👌🏻

Sadly, it's patched in the new update.

now paint it black and display with a black background.... It will "float".... right?

It looks imposible, but mechanics is very simple. Nice one👍

This video is soo simple and useful unlike others....

どうなっているのか分かったよ。 サンキュー！ しかしこれ考えた人はスゲェな！

Song pls

The tread in the middle is being pulled by gravity downwards while the other 3 treads on the sides are being pulled upwards by the force coming from the midle 😊

Took me a minute to work out what's going on here. So simple, yet incredibly effective visual illusion!

Ficou legal, dá próxima vez use linha de nylon que é transparente

imagine we can make a chair with that, with an iron frame and chains.

This is good. I understand it now. Thanks. Amazing

Could be a nice touch to use fishing leader (or even, magician's string) for the middle section!
