How to make Anti-gravity Structure | science project | Tensegrity structure

Today We will Make an Anti-gravity Structure like Tensegrity structure with popsicle sticks. Tensegrity is a design principle that applies when a discontinuous set of compression elements is opposed and balanced by a continuous tensile force, thereby creating an internal prestress that stabilizes the entire structure. Anyone can make this very Easily for their Science or School Project.

How this "anti gravity" structure works:
So when you look at the strings you see that if one string bends, all other ones get stretched, but due to the tensile resistance they get pulled back, and it gets back to the original positon. If the top tries falling down, the center string gets tensed and that causes it to return back up. If the strings of one or two corners fall, the other corners (and usually the center too) get tensed and pulls it back up. Basically it retains its integrity through it's tensile resistance, thus it's called Tensile-Integrity (Tensegrity) structure.

I wouldn't use black thread - I'd use clear fishing line. The line would be almost invisible...

That toothpick trick is genius. Thanks.

[BadVideoManIsAwesome]

Its not anti-gravity, whole weight of the upper structure rests on the middle string the other 3 strings just stablize the whole structure

wow so nice, it actually helped me with my school project. ty for the vid! :)

It’s called TENSILE-INTEGRITY STRUCTURE or tensegrity and was pioneered by R. Buckminster Fuller over 70 years ago. In spherical form (as opposed to a mast) it’s fondly referred to as a ‘Bucky Ball’ the most well known of which is the Epcot Center in Walt Disney World...

you have created something special, wonderful and amazing! what a genius how have we never seen or thought of this before.

[MHA-]

You're creation is useful for us..

Tiga benang hanya penyeimbang..
Benang yang ditengah, adalah benang yang menahan benang dari seluruhnya..

I might build furniture with the same design using rope instead.. Interesting.. I have a fully equipped wood shop..

J'ai fais le même mais le mien n'est pas aussi équilibré.
Bravo à toi !

Прикольно, нужны только нитки, палочки для мороженого, зубочистки и клей. Не надо на Виагру тратиться

[erikeduardo]

It's very very good. It's amazing. 😮

[priyanshujainamazing]

At what angle are we supposed to cut the inner hands of the structure?

[gregoryt]

Now show us how you didn't get super glue all over your fingers.

Кто не учил физику- весь вес сидящего не распределяется по 3 ножкам а нагружает один единственный трос.

Que trem mais louco meu... Isso é macumba...👍👍👍🇧🇷

La cuerda central es la que soporta la tension y las de las 3 esquinas, puntos de equilibrio

Just to be accurate, it's a tension-suspension device. If gravity did exist (it does not aside from in science fiction) then you have a much simpler device. It's call a Helium balloon or another is a hot air balloon. Those are both "gravity defying" devices. Gravity is itself a bunch of hot air.
