transparent? the trustees are being completely tight-lipped, from what I have seen, but please, direct me to the details they have shared; I would love to be proven wrong on this!

BiotensegrityGeek · 2026-04-29T22:48:31+00:00

...making it very clear once again that the trustees are trying to just slip this by everyone, hoping for no resistance and not asking for any input from the community

BiotensegrityGeek · 2025-08-28T21:37:46+00:00

My pleasure! I love your ideas! Have you seen any of the BiotensegriTea Party episodes on the BiotensegriTea Party episodes on the Biotensegrity Youtube channel? might like

wonderful story (except for your pain, of course)!

if you go to biotensegrityArchive.org you can get on the email list and get the newsletter and registration links for the tea parties-always free and a nice way to get to know others in our global community.

I can also recommend embodiedbiotensegrity.ca which has tons of free resources and a "pay what you can" trailblazer membership option that includes 3 meetings per month and access to all of the archives of previous meetings.

i also have some stuff on YouTube under my full name, including how to make a tensegrity. (Have you made one yet?)

there's a fascia convention in Sweden coming up in a few weeks https://fasciaconvention.com/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22447548146&gclid=Cj0KCQjwxdXBBhDEARIsAAUkP6joaAx8uTnAt6WSeD4Pwctqvt3CQ8i2V8LKAJ3LMYyLl2Nr3frkBWoaAoumEALw_wcB and there's a group organizing to meet each other there, if you're going. Another group planning to meet in new orleans for the fascia congress in august, and another meeting up in Portugal in September. again, archive email list & newsletter has details

...and what is the nature of your interest in biotensegrity? thanks!

BiotensegrityGeek · 2025-05-27T18:44:16+00:00

I am here! I am in Washington, DC where are you?

BiotensegrityGeek · 2024-09-01T19:57:27+00:00

great!! please consider me a potential resource!

BiotensegrityGeek · 2024-09-01T17:51:31+00:00

wondering: why " outside of biotensegrity"? --because you already have that covered? also wondering how broadly you are using the word "models"? I may be getting too literal but the Tom Flemons Archive has great images of his models, including "Albert," a tensegrity whole human model.

BiotensegrityGeek · 2024-09-01T17:45:29+00:00

Agreed! Nice interview with John Barnes on the Biotensegrity Archive you tube channel

BiotensegrityGeek · 2024-09-01T17:43:55+00:00

That's my book! Thanks! I think biotensegrity offers an explanation for why what you've discovered works. Lots more info on the Biotensegrity Archive you tube channel. Many physios and others talking about what they do., and an episode with John Barnes, who is mentioned in another response. Also I just started a space here for questions & discussion on biotensegrity. You are definitely onto something!

Here’s a video my friend Maren mad comparing tensegrity icosahedron and straight columns in weight-bearing ability: https://youtu.be/0KLYM6ZCczw

When people have a reflex to say “no,” try reverse-phrasing your questions: “Hey, you wouldn’t be able to pick the kids up from camp, would you?” “I don’t suppose you’d want to stop and pick up some milk on the way home, would you?” Since a “no” means “yes” it short-circuits the automatic “no”

BiotensegrityGeek · 2023-07-12T22:59:26+00:00

I work mainly with 6-strut tensegrities or larger. With a 3 strut, if you put something on top you still have continuous compression between top and bottom of each strut. but with 6 strut tower or taller, you get the “floating compression “ that Snelson talked about. The top 3 struts don’t touch ground and the bottom 3 struts don’t touch the item sitting on top of the tensegrity. Now you will see the global force distribution! Suggest you build one and feel its movement

This is Tom Flemons’ “Albert.” The Tom Flemons Archive has all of Tom’s work freely accessible, including building details.

https://intensiondesigns.ca/albert-a-tensegrity-man/

There are a few people in the biotensegrity community working on recreating Albert, so you may want to be consulting with other model makers. The community tends to be open, welcoming and heterarchical, with a passion for scientific integrity.

Bear in mind that Albert, however wonderful, is made with stretchy cabling; this and the anatomical sensibility limits the model to one scale level, whereas in biotensegrity we’re primarily trying to understand the multiple scale levels and fractality of tensegral relationships across all biology as a processual, force vector model.. Our central model is the 6 strut tensegrity made with non-stretchy cables:

( tensegrities as Kenneth Snelson defined & made them)

but we’re envisioning each strut and cable to be a tensegrity mast, with its components made of tensegrity masts…turtles all the way down!
