¶ Tensegrity
Index Entry
Tensegrity:
“The 12-spoke wire wheel. . . opposes turbining or torque members. Universal joints of two axes or three axes are analagous to the wire wheel as a basic system relying on the differentiation of tension and compression for its effectiveness. These all may be considered basic tensegrity systems.”
