How To Make a Tensegrity Physics Toy
Levitating Strings / Tension Suspension

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.
puzzling physics structures that seem to defy the very laws of gravity.

This awesome Tensegrity Physic Toy doesn´t use magnets to create this awesome "levitating strings" illusion! This Physics Toy consists only of two identical wood parts and four strings.

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