Let Me Explain Tensegrity... #shorts

a tensegrity structure like this beautiful tensegrity table here it's all being held together by wires like how is that possible so here's the 2D version any way that you try to collapse the structure it turns out that at least one of the elastic bands ends up being stretched but when I try and collapse the structure in this direction this elastic band stretches and it restores the structure back to its equilibrium position so a 2d tensegrity table requires two outer cables to remain stable but for it to be stable in three dimensions you need to add a third cable like in this one here it's the same reason why a stool requires three legs to be stable so it doesn't matter what direction you try and push the top of the table in it will stretch the wires in such a way as to restore the table back to equilibrium
