Pacific Domes International - Home - Pacific Domes International PAAF 2 le Retour Chapter 9: Mathematics -- Build a homemade geodesic dome A Geodesic Dome Some years ago I built a geodesic dome out of ½ inch galvanized steel electrical conduit, to serve as an aviary for chickens and small parrots. I wrote a computer program to calculate the proper lengths of steel tubing, and draw the diagram shown below: The dome is made from three different lengths of tubing. I used colored stickers on the tubes to mark the different lengths -- red for the long ones, violet for the medium lengths, and green for the short ones. The ends of the tubes are smashed flat with a hammer, and then holes are drilled in the flat ends for a bolt to go through to connect up to six of the tubes together. For this project, something a little more modest in size is required. For the first attempt at a smaller dome, I used bamboo kebab skewers and gumdrops. You will need these materials for the gumdrop dome: Click on photo for a larger picture Next, five medium sticks are stuck into the red gumdrops, and the pentagon is no longer flat.

20' Geodesic Dome Greenhouse Geodesic Domes are awesome. This Instructable will show you how I built a 20' dome for about $250, with the majority of that cost being the greenhouse plastic ($167 with shipping.) That's right, the structure itself cost less than $100! Buckminster Fuller wanted his dome houses to be cheap, quickly constructed, and portable. My purpose for building domes is the same as Bucky's: to save humanity from extinction. 1) They use far less material than a square building 2) They are much stronger, domes have withstood hurricanes and tornadoes, even a nuclear blast 3) They use less energy, the oft quoted amount is 30% less, but it goes up as the dome gets bigger I am submitting this as part of the "Win A Home Fabricator" contest.

CorsicARMS 2 Monolithic domes Monolithic dome office Monolithic Domes are constructed following a method that requires a tough, inflatable Airform, steel-reinforced concrete and a polyurethane foam insulation. Each of these ingredients is used in a technologically specific way. The dome, when finished, is earthquake, tornado and hurricane resistant (FEMA rates them as "near-absolute protection" from F5 tornadoes and Category 5 Hurricanes). [edit] Ecoshells MDI has also developed the technology to build so-called "EcoShells". EcoShells are easy to build, easy to teach others to build and fast to construct. It has been estimated that Haiti, for example, needs approximately 200,000 EcoShells to house up to 1 million people. How it’s Built: For a 6-meter dome, you need: 50 bags of cement, 2500’ roll of basalt reinforcing or fiberglass, about 5 cubic meters of small size concrete aggregate, an Airform that can be used hundreds of times, a small inflator fan and a few workers primarily with hand tools.

Geodome -- Geodesic design software Lotharingie Survivalisme El barro, las manos, la casa. Email+ 1Email Esta obra, dirigida por Gustavo Marangoni, es un gran documental didáctico sobre construcción natural.Filmado principalmente en la localidad de El Bolsòn, provincia de Rìo Negro, sur de la cordillera Argentina; fue realizado con el apoyo de la secretaría de Cultura de la Presidencia de la Nación. Y fue declarado de interés por el programa “Arquitectura y Construcción con Tierra” de la Facultad de Arquitectura, Diseño y Urbanismo de la Universidad de Buenos Aires. Se trata de una mirada general a este tipo de construcción: sus características, su historia, los prejuicios que tenemos sobre la tierra como material de construcción, sus virtudes y también sus desventajas (y como superarlas). Jorge Belanko charla con vecinos aclarando dudas generales como por ejemplo, si es posible realizar este tipo de casas en zonas lluviosas como las nuestras, los diferentes estilos de construcción, la posibilidad de la autoconstrucción, entre otros temas.

Geodesic Dome Calculator — ByExample.com Our geodesic dome calculator will calculate the length and number of struts for 2V, 3V, and 4V geodesic domes based on the specified radius. It's a useful tool for planning the size of your dome. Radius = 7 meters * Strut lengths are from vertex to vertex. When designing and building a dome strut lengths will have to be reduced if using connectors and will have to be increased if using bolts to connect flattened ends of pipe. To re-calculate the strut lengths enter a new value for the dome's Radius below. Numbers must be entered in decimal format, IE 10.5 feet, not 10 feet 6 inches. Use the pulldown menu to choose your units.
