Who are you kidding? Three supporting points is the most stable design and using silicon or rubber gives the best friction between the item and surface.

@rpdigital17

Three points will not wobble, CORRECT, but it's functionally restrictive, becoming unstable if the centre of gravity above the three points of contact has a span greater than the three points. put simply; if the top is wider than the base, it tips easily.

Note: Rubber/Silicone has very poor abrasion resistance, polyurethane (ether based) is optimal in commercial applications.

@jb37usa

I dunno, he was mumbling something about "being flat".

[jonessekid]

Flat technology: items put on flat surfaces tend to remain stable. Really? and this is new?, what's next: screw in and screw out leg ends in order to balance a...let's say: a washing machine or a dryer?. Here's an idea, if your table is not so stable, do not put fish tanks and fragile objects on it, and balance it with a match box.

Cost: free.

You call that amazing ?

[rpdigital17]

@flattony Yes you are correct. But symmetrical odd number points are always stable, while even number points are unstable. Just try your 4 leg stool put one leg over the carpet. That's why most office stools are made with 5 legs, and of course that supports better than 3 legs, as you pointed.

Thanks for trying to point out something the masters of YouTube academia seem to struggle with, nice example, Ozy Osbourne would agree I am sure.

The cut throat world of furniture manufacture has not been adding the fourth leg to 85% of cafe bases because they want to add cost to production.

@unclesonnyonutube I like legless tables but the cause is probably the lower center of gravity. Perhaps with 1 fewer leg the reduced weight down below causes the center of gravity to be higher. The way to correct this would just be to add weight to the 3 legs. The center of gravity problem might also apply to the 3-wheel ATV.

[unclesonnyonutube]

I fail to see how 3 stabilizing points is the most stable design when a three wheel ATV turns too sharp it rolls or flips but by adding a 4th wheel it can corner three times harder. I cant even count how many times i have seen 3 legged tables tip with too much stuff on one side.

@SauronsEye You can't quantify "ugly", it's an opinion. Engineering wise, the shape of the tulip table is the best, a simple I-beam rotated around the axis. The wobble could be corrected by extracting all but 3 flat radial strips 120 degrees apart. The simplest way to meet functional criteria can't be ugly. Ugly is functionless complexity, like a big mole on a face, or a table with more legs than it needs, or baggy ghetto jeans.
