Product Description Tensegrity Table Appears to float in mid air Tensegrity tables are visually and mechanically quite different. The table top almost appears to float in mid air, with almost incomprehensibly thin dangling wires to the ground. At first glance it appears almost impossible. It's only in under inspection do you realise the physics involved...even then some people don't find how it works intuitive. Strong All our tensegrity tables now have strong (28lb )12.5kg (max) breaking strength centre cable. The design has been carefully perfected and upgraded to give a thin but strong wire. All centre cables are assembled here in the UK. Note: don't put anything near a 9kg weight on the table. Cables are under tension before any weight is place on the table. Precision CNC in England This tensegrity is properly engineered. What do we mean by that? There's no glue. No plastic components. Everything has been designed and prototyped by us, for production in our factory in Maidenhead, England. We take take pride in what we do. We control the quality and we make things to last. Levelling and tension adjustment Hidden underneath the base of the table it's a fully adjustable mechanism to allow each of the outer cables length and tension to be adjusted. This ensures the table is perfectly level and also allows increase the tension to the table is rigid. Each outer cable is rated to 15lb+ (6.8kg) with a stronger 24lb (12.kg) centre cable. Meaning it is unlikely you will break them. The cables are surprising thin which giving an interesting visual effect. Note: centre cable will always usually fail before 15lb (6.8lb) weight is applied due to having a preload tension. We recommend limiting to 2.5lb (1kg) weight on the table to give a good safety margin. Our CNC machine Tensegrity table is supplied as a kit. Our kits are supplied in a custom foam insert which we have designed and made ourselves. This ensures that all the parts are safe and secure while in transit. It also doubles as an assembly aid, holding the engine still during assembly.
