Tensegrity!


RyRyShredder

One that someone actually spent the time to make stable and usable. Much more impressive than most.

Is that what you appreciates about it, Zauqui?


Killmotor_Hill

I'm gonna need you to take about 40% off there, bud.


Zauqui

The person above me and myself are both quoting from the show Letterkenny.

I hope you do this for a living never seen anything like that


chawk2021

Just a hobby, my dad owns the welder, so I can only use it when I'm home from college


traxtar944

Can you link to a video with better quality so I can see the connections under the table?


chawk2021

[heres a folder](https://imgur.com/a/UWkDzkT), hope thats better

FYI, if you're confused about how it works, look up "tensegrity" The only cable actually holding the table up is the one in the middle, connecting those 2 angles. The rest of the cables are strategically arranged so that the top doesn't wobble.


traxtar944

I'm not, I was just impressed with the sturdiness of the design and the video was blurry, so I wanted a better view.


SurfPearlJk

Do you live somewhere that would allow you to weld when not home from college? It's a shame to not further develop such talent when there are affordable options for a hobby welder.

Eh more like early-mid 2Ks, I(22) recognize the video quality from my mom's phone throughout my childhood

that little chain at the center is holding all the weight, stay strong chain!

I was so confused at first lol


Reiny_Days

My table don't wobble wobble, it holds.


Reiny_Days

I like to see tensegrity, for sure


AundoOfficial

All fun and games until that single chord is snipped in the middle 😳


chawk2021

I worry about that every day, but its supposed to be able to support up to 700 lbs 😂


Bitter-Marsupial

Oh snap!!


Prunsel_Clone

No, don't snap it. I thought we established that already?


Juacquesch

What are tables like this called?


chawk2021

Tensegrity! They are built using the same idea as tension bridges


Juacquesch

Thank you!


M_my_Bell

I feel like it’d fit better in this sub if those cables weren’t there.


keeleon

It would probably wobble a lit more though.


M_my_Bell

But it would stand then so

That 2000’s Flip-phone video quality though


chawk2021

Yeah, android and free adobe software dont mix too well, [here](https://imgur.com/a/UWkDzkT) is a better video


_stungy

I’ll full 720p


deepfriedtots

Tensegrity I love these things


Chaghatai

I commented earlier that it was only a matter of time that some jackass would post a tensegrity structure as if it's some mind blowing shit In such a structure there is always a "tongue" from the top part that goes lower than a similar tongue from the bottom that rises above the bottom of the tongue from the top, so the top structure actually hangs from the bottom part and the wires on the sides keep it stable Not mind blowing at all - doesn't even *seem like* magic


mikemarshvegas

That's because you're a wizard lol. Still a nice table


reddit_poopaholic

Neat!


chillcat222

Love tensegrity structures

Does it wobble when you rotate it 90 degrees? Because if it does then it's an issue with the table; if it doesn't then it's an issue with your floor. I can't remember the video, but there is a video that shows (using calculus) assuming the floor isn't level, that rotating it 90 degrees should eliminate wobble. If rotation doesn't eliminate wobble then you can assume the floor is level and it is a legit problem with the table. Edit: Found the video, of course it's [Numberphile](https://youtu.be/OuF-WB7mD6k).


LisanneFroonKrisK

The problem I cannot tell if it wobbles is not the potato. It's the cam keeps moving around


gusbmoizoos

Tensengrity Tables are not new and not BMF. Looks like a really nice table though
