Cables are able to bend because of their twist. The strands and wires are on the inside AND the outside, so the pulling force and compressing forces cancel each other out! That’s why they are made of solid steel and still pliable!
Yea
That just straight up makes sence
Love it
Is that a real British accent? Sounds a bit fake
This is not the only reason why steel cables are made this way.
Its also because to accomodate this they can move helically with kinewatic freedom. Just saying, if it were a twisted monolith, it still wouldn’t bend very well.
This also applies to electrical wires. Twisted just gives more strength and flexibility pretty much no matter the material in question
Twisting of the wires is 99% of the time to reduce noise and interference
I heard "ding bong bling kong bing bing bong blim blim gonk*
News flash: if you take solid wires and stack then bend them, they still bend just fine.
It makes so much sense, whoever thought of this first definitely had a big brain moment
I was the first to come up with this.

the wire would separate otherwise.
Finally I know what makes it bendy
Because I let them
Is this similar to phase cancelation?
I wouldn’t say that the forces cancel out, rather the force required to compress the inner side is provided by the stretching force on the other side, which means you only need enough energy to bend the wire, and then most of the energy required to deform it will be provided from an opposite force somewhere else on the cable.
cray
This answers a question O never knew I had.
Genius
WHAT! That’s so cool I had no idea!
man
That is not how that works
Learning this type of info is actually cool
that’s how endodontic files are made!
Finally
Wire rope, never saddle a dead horse.
The forces do NOT cancel out. The forces try to untwist the cable.
It also sorts of self bind
"I know this, my teacher just explained it. The design is intended so that when lightning strikes near a power line, it will create an electromagnetic induction effect and generate a rotating magnetic field. At that moment, the two twisted wires will produce two opposite magnetic fields that cancel each other out."
Man human ingenuity is so amazing
But there still should be tension on the wires
Shouldn’t it?
Now that was an interesting factoid….
The forbidden twizzler
If Tik Tok has videos like this, I’d still have an account with them.
Even the simplest of things have such amazing engineering behind them
Bendy? Bendy and the ink machine? Ink? Bendy?
Name of the song?
What accent is this?
wow
Zoooo stone kool
If this dude and kurgesagt ruled the world we would be an interstellar species by now. But hey atleast we have memes
This feels like a JADOKAR short in 3D
Really ? doesnt sound fully logical.
Somehow physics is more useful in daily life than it appears
