Magnetic Tensegrity Table https://www.physicsfunshop.com/search?keywords=tensegrity This CNC machined tensegrity sculpture replaces the center tension member (chain) with a pair of attracting neodymium magnets. Made from 6061 aluminum and nickel plated steel chain, the “Impossible Table” is the creation of Kevin Sayers of sphidget.com. Another fun configuration of the tensegrity concept, invented by Kenneth Snelson and made famous by the architect Buckminster Fuller in 1949. ➡️ Follow the link a

Nova Plexus Puzzle https://www.physicsfunshop.com/search?keywords=tensegrity 12 identical brass rods can create 4 interlocking triangles in a perfect symmetry- look carefully and you can see that each rod is in an identical configuration with the 5 others that connect with it. Precision machined notches on the ends of the rods allow them to interlock with elastic tension such that vector sum of the 5 forces on each rod is zero- creating this astonishing geometry as the equilibrium state.

Mini Tensegrity Table: thin but strong cables provide the support in this precision machined version of the tensegrity concept, where flexible tethers under tension are placed in balance and create an illusion of levitation. The first tensegrity structure was invented by Kenneth Snelson in 1949 and the concept was later made famous by the architect Buckminster Fuller. This stand by Kontax Engineering Ltd came as a kit and was a lot of fun to assemble. ➡️ Follow the link in my profile for info on
