Tensegrity, tensional integrity or floating compression is a structural principle based on a system of isolated components under compression inside a network of continuous tension, and arranged in such a way that the compressed members (usually bars or struts) do not touch each other while the prestressed tensioned members (usually cables or tendons) delineate the system spatially.

Thank you. Your visual with the strings was very helpful. After many frustrating tries I have a popsicle tensegrity too.
@sirweebs2914 3 years ago

So you could actually do that with any kind of rope or string? How about a translucent fishingpole string? It should hold quite a bit of weight and I wouldnt mind a "floating" TV table or if that's too heavy a small table for a lamp for example. But for now the small version is just as cool I will try to build it.

Trying to finish mine, will try your method for tensioning. Thank you.

I mean, I understand the physics behind this, but it still makes me irrationally angry.

Thank you, i want try to make it. But, how can i make the hole in popsicles if i don't have a drill?
@LeftoverAtoms 3 years ago

Its incredible what is possible. I’m assuming the middle applies an upward force but the side strings hold it in place?

How did you make that fan , explain that too.

An object hovering in mid-air without any external support is called a gravity defying object. Could you post a video explaining that. If the table is supported with rope, howcome does it defy gravity.
