Have you ever noticed how Internet trends seem to come and go rather quickly? Some of them can be interesting, and you may even get caught up in watching those trending videos and finding that you are spending hours in front of your screen. Of course, some of the trends do disappear quickly and others may be quite unique, but they are lost to new trends that tend to come around. There is something else interesting about Internet trends that most people don’t realize, and that’s the fact that they are not typically new. In most cases, they were trends that may have taken place years ago and sometimes, they involve scientific principles that have always been in existence.
A good example of this is the recent trend that we find online involving tensegrity. This is a scientific principle that involves using tension in unique ways to make something appear as if it is floating. When you see it for yourself and it is executed properly, it can be a wonderful thing to see. Of course, some of it involves the angle of the video and other factors but when you create something like this for yourself, you get to see just how interesting it is. That is why this video of a floating tensegrity chair is so wonderful to view. You can even build one for yourself!
The woodworker in the following video uses some everyday products that are found at the hardware store to build his own tensegrity chair. He uses those principles so that it is able to support the weight of a human while appearing as if it is floating in the air at the same time. Building it for yourself helps you to understand more of the tensegrity principles that are involved but in the end, it is just something that looks cool.
The woodworker claims that if you have wood and rope available, you can build your own floating tensegrity chair based on tension. It may not be the easiest project, but it looks like it is well worth a try.
