Tensegrity Mast Propagation: Helix Origin and Stellated Origin
See page Tensegrity Masts
Spiral Vertebral Mast
This mast is composed of seven compression spirals and seven tension spirals. Half spiral clockwise the other half counter clockwise. It suggests the agility of a snake and the strength and flexibility of a giraffe’s neck.
Tetrahedral Vertebral Mast
Each vertebral body in a spine bears a formal resemblance to a stellated tetrahedron. It is possible to arrange a series of these stellated tetrahedrons as a tensegrity mast, such that the equivalent properties of load bearing combined with flexibility in rotation and bending is demonstrated.
