Awesome video, just made one out of Balsa wood and it works fantastic. This was a fun little project this evening & thanks for sharing the knowledge.........Can't wait to build one with my kiddo & pass on the physics!
as far as i know and do correct me if im wrong :there are basically 4 ways the structure can break , 3 are the structure bending in the 3 ways of the strings which 2 others always hold it up because of the tension in the two , the other way is if all the strings around are kept the same but then bent with the same angle , in that case the middle string is the one in pressure which holds the others back up . all in all it has to do with the tension and stress built within the strings as far as ive understood
@@michellelandeta4951 why are you commenting "Y". I'm not sure if you're asking why did I make 1 or why do I wish to make one with clay? I'm not certain if you're sliding at me sideways, it sort of feels like you are by your exceedingly simplistic letter y. If so actually even if you're not, I hurt you to look more into this and you will discover that furniture, being tables and chairs, are made in this way. Tensegrity is something that has been used for years to keep Bridges standing. Cable Bridges. Let's not forget high-rise buildings. Do you think they just stack bricks up many many stories high? I hope this video or my comment has encouraged you to look at tensegrity structures.. It's actually quite interesting. This simple design that he's created with cardboard has the ability to be used as a table. Provided that the thread or floss can maintain its area and doesn't cut through the cardboard. It's truly an amazing thing.
