Tensegrity and Self-standing structures (WIP)

Being interested in "tensegrity" and "self-standing" structures, here are just a few experiments I'm working on.
Work in progress...


Simple tensegrity test

Load testing

While it seems to be very fragile, such a structure can support quiet an heavy load.

Self-standing sculpture

This sculpture uses no glue, no nails, no screws, no strings, but only gravity and friction from wood's flexibility "spring effect".
All the parts are different and were cutted using CNC milling.
And just like LEGO® bricks, they may be combined differently to produce some variations.
Still a work in progress...
