Steps on how to make one. Once you have made the fascinating thing that seems to be levitating or floating. Basically the thread in the middle in holding the weight and the thread on the outside is keeping it up. It is a amazing experiment.

Tensegrity is an elision of ‘tension + integrity’. The term was coined by Buckminster Fuller in the 1960s as a portmanteau of "tensional integrity".[2] The other denomination of tensegrity, floating compression, was used mainly by the constructivist artist Kenneth Snelson.

Tensegrity (Anti-Gravity) structures are based on the combination of a few simple design patterns:

members loaded in either pure compression or pure tension, which means that the structure will only fail if the cables yield or the rods buckle. This enables the material properties of each member to be optimized to the particular load it carries.
preload or tensional prestress allows cables to be rigid in tension and maintains structural integrity.
