Ever done this trick?
What wizardry is this
It’s because the system’s centre of gravity is under the table, and on the table’s side of the fulcrum.
I wanna make one those floating tables that works on this weird science.
I could buy one, but I want to make one to better understand how it works because I just can’t wrap my head around written or verbal explanations.
The outer chains are purely for stability of the top. The center one holds all weight.
Rubber band in the middle is trying to contract, pulling the top of the table up, and the chains keep it level?
Something like that; has something to do with tension but I could not explain it if my life depended on it lol
Has science gone too far‽
Edit:
Edit2:
Glue?
Nope. The wings are weighted so that the bird is perfectly balanced on its beak. You could set it on a pole and it would do the same thing, just didn’t work on a table because the wings tail and belly would be what touched the table.
