Thank you for Watching! Tune in next week for more videos :) - Jak na to + styl
Pretty sure that once the dowels are touching, it's no longer tensegrity. In particular, the dowels are now bending members. Not to say the design isn't cool - it definitely is; I think it's just more appropriately classified as a reciprocal frame than tensegrity.
True. This is clickbait.
I mean look at the thumbnail, he edited out the wires
I don't think it's "clickbait" per se. I think the structure is simply mis-classified. Click bait would be: "You won't BELIEVE how this ONE WEIRD TRICK made Tensegrity Table ACTUALLY WORK!"
I suspect that if @Alexandre Chappel had put the brass channels closer to the ends of the wooden members, he would have been able to keep the wood legs separated for a true integrity table.
I did my master thesis on tensegrity and sir, you are correct !
Furthermore, the glass is a rigid object joining other rigid object so even if the dowels were separated, still not complete tensegrity :)
Still nice table !
Springiness of previous designs could be credited to the strings and reduced with cables that had less give.
So they could work with the right materials and tensioning.
That's what I thought too - that thin rope was likely to be quite stretchy.
Same thought!
Exactly! He should build the cool non-touching one using cable. If the legs themselves don't bend and the cable doesn't stretch it should work.
They still wobble, I’ve seen them made of steel cable and chain as well.
@@ItsRenderInnit Bummer! I wonder what gives?
I've been working in a school project for about a month now, and you may not believe it but one of my proposals was this exact table but just with 3 legs. Fortunately I didn't end up choosing that path because 16 hours ago someone did it first so I cant do it any more for my project. What a coincidence men.
By the way now I'm working on a big table that follows the tensegrity principles I it's turning out pretty cool , so I hope the same coincidence doesn't happen again.
This ended up being a really long comment.
I've been watching your videos for years now and I still love them as much as the first day.
The 3-legged-stringy-springy-table would have been cool.
And considering that wires would not stretch as much as the string, it could have been a lot sturdier than we think.
It would make a good chair probably. Something you can gently bounce in while you think, like a full body fidget. I do that all the time in my computer chair, but I'm light so it's really hard to push down... lol
Seen it attempted but it wobbled like crazy, i think it was Kazmoses that did it.
This original structure will probably make a cool chair leg. I'll love a springy chair haha
Definitely agreed on some sort of chair variation, I think a springy chair would be really comfy to sit in!
Honestly I'm making one for my 3D printer - springy means the sound from the printer wont piss off my downstairs neighbors as much
@@invitrace9185 for a 3d printer, you should look into adding a concrete slab under the printer, see the CZcams channel CNC kitchen for that video and explainer
That's a great idea!
@@lazarjovic9948 why?
excellent project Alex! 👏😎
Yoo marsgizmo! Only 3k left to 1 mill
Shut up marsgizmo ,your name sucks and your creativity sucks too !!!

Great project, for better stability I think you should set a wooden table on the structure with some weight and then, once the rope is under the maximum tension, tighten the screws. By doing this way you maybe could have managed to use also the other structures
Didn't see it amongst the comments, put marks on the string where one side of the leg should be, then you can tighten the string as you pull it through the leg and all the legs have exactly the same distance from each other. 🙂 Great build and awesome content as usual!
I feel like one aspect of your builds that is missing in each video is some idea of how long it takes. It would be nice if in the description or somewhere you put roughly how much time you spent building whatever it is you're making in the videos. I really enjoy watching what you make, but it always feels like it only takes you one or two days, due to how its edited.
Wholeheartedly agree
Haven't thought of that before, but I absolutely agree
It would also be nice to provide the time length of the initial design phase. I am sure he spent some time figuring out the dimensions of the legs and the cables. Build iterations are inevitable but that initial design phase isn't instantaneous.
Yeah there is a slight illusion, I would bet from design phase to completion...1-2 weeks.
I LOVE the fact that you also watch James Bruton!
one of the most underrated creative channels on youtube. just does his thing and loves what he does.
I LIKED THAT TO THE ROBOT DOG IS CLASS
insane craftsmanship
hey I think someone might have told you this already, but the wooden chips sucks up all the oil from the lathe sliding parts, so make sure to keep it well lubed and clean after use! Another awesome project Alex, love your work!
Nice concept. In a future version, you could create two locking screws in one leg so you can have the wire ends connecting inside a leg
You're designing process is so inspiring and the results are awesome! Well done!
nice design and well done, for and all out anti-tensegrity table. Every member is in contact with all other members. That explains that slight smile while he was doing this.
Super cool build. I have seen so many tensegrity wobbly builds, this is a proper table that you can put coffee on without having to suffer continuous anxiety.
You honestly are a genius
Way cooler than expected, especially with the glass top, helps you actually see the illusion
This is amazing. Very well thought out. I love how you seamlessly mix materials like wood and 3D printing. Very inspiring.
I really like the way you present your ideas with the immediate showing of a prototype! That makes a huge difference! Well done
You're such a skilled person -- congratulations Alex! Amazing work!
You are an absolute genius!
thts the level of surety i want in life, love watching you make and print stuff
Another amazing video. Love the precision that goes into your projects and your enthusiasm.
Dude! your videos are really awesome. I discovered you a few weeks back and its always entertaining to actually watch your videos from every point of view. the sound, video editing etc. And I will definitely at some point try and build sound panels. need them. I always learn something new as well. Keep it up!
The amount of work done... Mind blown.
Love you designs and how you incorporate so many different types of material in your builds!
I absolutely love the noise you make, eg at 13:53. So much happiness and excitement at a project coming together!
18:03 is better
Probably my favorite project of yours so far
That is the cleverest thing i've seen made on this channel. Bravo
Alexandre, you are a madman! I’ll never build it, but loved watching it!!!
this would be an amazing type of camping table since it collapse so easily! Good Job ALEX! awesome skills as always!
Really nice project Alex! From Brazil 🇧🇷
brilliant....also love your Bridgeport milling machine.....big respect from Mauritius
Love it. Your projects always fascinate me! Keep up the great work. 👍🏾
You are such an amazing person, i cant get bored of your videos 😍😍😍😍
i hope the cable hold up long term but over all a pretty cool project. nice job!
I made one of these with welded box tube and chains; super sturdy but still very wobbly!
You make these things look easy... that's how good you are, thanks!
Wish I could have a workshop like yours. Great work!
Amazing project!
Every time I watch your video makes me feel amazed and also have a nice mood !!! Love your project and laugh !!!
Awesome Work!
Dude, thanks, good work
Love the design Alex! I wonder if you could add a mother to "roll up" the wire and that would make the table change height! Keep up the great work.
This is the best thing you have made - I would buy it if it was sold in stores (dont have a workshop or the skills to make it)
Good Job
SWEET project!
Great video as always👍
Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us👍😀
Great project, very well designed !
Great build!
Awesome project!
you deserve so many more subs. thank you for your content
Beautiful table!!
Love your videos mate
Looks nice good job man!
Now we need a project for the IKEA-coffee-table-base that came with the glass tabletop!
Wow! Good job 👍
Amazing to see how motivated you work on these projects! I would just give up while tinkering aroung the idea :D
While I always enjoy each of Alexandre's builds, this one actually makes me happy! Why? Because, with some simplifications, it is well within BOTH my skillset and my tool set.
The first simplification, as I have no lathe, would be to buy hardwood round stock. Next, the top and bottom 3D printed caps could screw flush to the ends or slip over them, eliminating the need for the shoulder. Just cut the stock to length, finish it, and add a few pilot holes on each end. Perhaps use a flared conical section the leg would insert into. So many possibilities!
To simplify things further, as I have neither long drill bits nor the ability to drill deep centered holes, would be to replace the locking brass inserts with carriage bolts through the legs (using a 3D printed drill guide) and eyelet nuts, with the eyelet on the inside. Wrap the wire multiple times around each eyelet for some friction to get the right final geometry. Fiddly to adjust, but it should be doable. If getting the bolts right becomes a problem, even simpler would be to use split-ring pipe hangers with eyebolts. Again, many possibilities.
The thing is, by changing only the wire length, the same legs may be used for a low coffee table and also for taller matching end-tables with a smaller diameter top. Such versatility! Would need to verify the end-table stability.
Yes, this looks to be totally doable, even by me. I'm very happy!
I'm from Brazil! I love your channel!
Awesome use of metal lathe and BP. Love the brass pins
Really awesome camera placement and editing in this one, man! The table is amazing too.
Thanks Alex i learnt 5 things i never knew i needed to know haha
Outstanding
Awesome mate
so coool!!!!!!Love your work bro!
Awesome stuff
Amazing!! nice brass details.
This is awesome 👌
Really cool concept and iteration!
You made it look soo EZ, You are amzing😍
it do look amazing
Great project and video... Thanks.
always amazing Alex! greetings from Philippines!
Great job
Great job.
Very nice concept! And cool inplementation!
That's look awesome! Nice build 👍👌🙂
I love your vídeos so much!
This is a plan to hold the earth together. Good job! AC.
Awesome project! I've made that exact same sound when I finally see my project go from CAD to sitting in front of me, haha. Because the end caps beneath the glass are already black plastic, it would be a nice touch to model TPU inserts for them to replace the clear adhesive pads!
Pure wizardry!
Nice on, live your thinking process. 👍🏻👍🏻
it's so prettyyyy
Nice project! Nice video Alexandre :)
Very cool table.
What a good job boy, awesome !
That slot in the threaded insert is for cutting threads. Flip it around and screw a threaded rod into it, then lock it into place with a nut. Then drive it in with a drill.
Great design.
Well thought and beautiful build! And great ending too! 😎
Amazing!!!
Alex you are nuts! great work
amazing!
This table would be a good product for IKEA. It’s portable and looks nice.
Nice, that is a great looking table too!
Wonderful!! The first version of your table is nice for make some milkshake 😁😁
Man love the chanel and everything you build 👍
now that you have pinned the cables in place, I think some of those other forms would actually be a lot more stable. the thing with them before was that the "legs" could move in two directions - but now that they're pinned, they can only move in one direction. the steel cable fixes them in place when it is tensioned, and with little "spring" they aren't really going to do much. It's no longer a slipping/sliding joint.
Evan and Katelyn did a tensegrity table too that they crazy over engineered to be more stable. I need both of these hahaha
You're a Rockstar. Keep Movin, Keep Movin.
