  • coolest stuff I've seen.

  • how to make?

  • @akishimanagae stoooooped

  • @akishimanagae That's nonsense. When the model is placed on the ground, it will slightly deform, yet then all tendons have a definite length. A tensegrity (in Snelson's definition) is an object where the compression elements don't touch (check) and are held together by tension elements (check). The material for the tension elements simply determines stability and durability - rubber bands deteriorate and fail usually after a few weeks deployed under tension in a tensegrity.

  • claro que es un tesegrity, la clave está en que son barras que trabajan con las ligas en tensión integral, de ahí el nombre de tensegrity

  • Good idea!!!!

  • yes it is

  • that is very cool. is there a function to that or is it like a look what i can build kind of thing?
