Tensegrity, the word you are looking for is tensegrity.

It's simply hanging by a thread.

That one's easy, at least as long as the table is lighter than the buckets which isn't hard to achieve.

I mean the one actually easier to understand at first glance

Like @WoodstockGnomes said: tensegrity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensegrity

Use clear string for the short middle one
DocWino
I like your thinking but why not all?
ilovedogknots
It makes it seem like it’s held up by just loose string vertically and not hanging at a glance

louster
Okay, here's how I made sense of it. Imagine the longer strings aren't there. The top structure is pushing down on the middle string -
louster
- and because of its design, in order to fall down, it has to rotate, twist. This means that the loop at the top has to have at least -
louster
- one part of it raising upward to allow it as a whole to fall. So, the longer strings are in tension, preventing it from twisting, and -
louster
- so preventing it from falling.

Fucking magnets, how do they work?
xVVitch
That's not magnets though.
Lynith
It definitely is. That "Snap" half way through the video is definitely not gravity.
slightlyofftopiccommenter
I agree with you. When the triangle sort of shape hits the table, the motion is kinda odd. It slides first
xVVitch
Its gravity and strings.. holy shit
DocWino
I thought so at first too. That snap is when tension is achieved on all the strings and it snaps into place. No magnets.
GodEmperorOfImgur
There's no "snap" Like. It's pretty simple. The top part wants to go down. But there's a string tying it's bottom to the grounded part. 1/2
GodEmperorOfImgur
so, it can't go further down. The outside strings are keeping it stable. Since all four strings are taut, it stays. That is why the 1½/2
GodEmperorOfImgur
person keeps the middle string taut when moving it. Simple physics. 2/2
NiSiSuinegEht
Pretty straightforward. The short string is supporting it, the long ones are stabilizing.
MisterApollo
The elasticity of the center is pushing it up
27yoUGLYvirgin
I think this makes no difference, that just gives it a bigger threshold and range for this to work. Works the same with a tight string.
deeptechinc
Like that’s cool but still

Tensegrity and tensile structures are so damn cool. Imagine if/when we develop lighter than air architectural materials...
Anthraxg23
Olympia park (Munich), just about any shigeru ban project, a few Santiago Calatrava projects if you’re looking 4 similar Architectural ideas
ghbar
I think there's a little illusion too. The top piece is probably leaving farther forward than it looks.
ghbar
That is, if you saw it from the side, I bet it would be much less interesting.
maxwilder
No, It only works if the three outer strings pull in different directions, countering each other. So the triangle has to be near centered.

I wanna make one now.

Could easily make a small one from a couple paper clips and a bit of floss.

Here I’m thinking bigger, pvc pipe, trailer trash lawn sculpture bigger. I know what I’m doing tomorrow.

I'm wondering if I have the skills to make one out of coat hangers. For bonus points, plastic coat hangers.
