Connecting Floating Communities with Tensegrity

This week, we will talk about Tensegrity.

Tensile integrity or floating compression describes a system of isolated, compressed components within a network of chords that are under tension.

For ArkPad, we believe that this principle can allow the seasteads to connect together, which may benefit the future of floating communities.

For our floating structure, we will use Tensegrity to connect ArkPads together while still allowing the city structure to bend and flex, on the other hand the tensegrity arms will also act as shock absorber to disperse impacts from large waves or ship strikes.

Watch this video to learn more about Tensegrity and how we will incorporate it with our floating community.

Some clips were taken from Steve Mould’s “Tensegrity Explained” video, watch his full explanation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0onncd0_0-o

Let us know what you think.
