Survival/Emergency Domes Low cost emergency housing for disaster stricken areas. Shipped from Texas, USA to any where in the world. A basic dome home shelter can be built by 2 people in less than 1 day. It consists of a wood dome frame, insulating rigid plastic cover, floor, door, windows, heating and cooking stove, tools for assembly, emergency survival tools, water purification unit and instructions in native language. Sizes based on our "Garden Dome 2" and "Garden Dome 3" design. The dome shelter is much more permanent than a tent shelter. No power tools are required to assemble the SURVIVAL DOME package. Requirements for the SURVIVAL - EMERGENCY DOME HOME are relatively level ground to build on and basic mechanical ability. Items such as wood/propane fuel systems for heating/cooking, , rain water collection/storage/purification may be included in the SURVIVAL - EMERGENCY DOME HOME package, or changed as needed to supply the needs of families and communities- o Disaster Relief
Dome Math Hila Science Camp Dome Math Geodesic Domes Dome builders call this type of dome a 2V Icosa Alternate. It is created by fitting 4 triangles inside each triangular surface of an icosahedron. What is an icosahedron? Can you name them? If you are really, really curious, follow this link to find out how the triangles are fitted inside each triangle of an icosahedron - Icosahedron Domes Explained! To create a dome similar to the one shown at top, you must create 40 triangles, 30 isosceles triangles and 10 equilateral triangles. Let's design a dome! Step 1: Decide on the diameter of the dome you would like to create. Step 2: Determine the size of the triangles needed. The 10 equilateral triangles have each side equal to a length "A". A = radius of dome x 0.61803 A = 15 cm x 0.61803 A = 9.27045 cm A=9.27 cm The 30 isosceles triangles have one side "A" and two sides "B". B = radius of dome x 0.54653 B = 15 cm x 0.54653 B = 8.19795 cm B = 8.20 cm Step 3:
You Can Build a Straw Bale House Construct a Dome Geodesic domes are elegant and sophisticated structures. Lightweight and strong, they make very efficient use of materials. They are an ideal structure for use in remote areas like the Arctic. Following are the instructions for constructing a geodesic dome with a diameter of 50 cm. Your dome is completed. Straw-bale construction Straw-bale construction is a building method that uses bales of straw (commonly wheat, rice, rye and oats straw) as structural elements, building insulation, or both. This construction method is commonly used in natural building or "brown" construction projects. Research has shown that straw-bale construction is a sustainable method for building, from the standpoint of both materials and energy needed for heating and cooling.[2] Advantages of straw-bale construction over conventional building systems include the renewable nature of straw, cost, easy availability, naturally fire-retardant and high insulation value.[3][4][5] Disadvantages include susceptibility to rot, difficulty of obtaining insurance coverage, and high space requirements for the straw itself.[6] Research has been done using moisture probes placed within the straw wall in which 7 of 8 locations had moisture contents of less than 20%.

How geodesic dome is made - material, making, history, used, components, structure, steps, product, History Background A geodesic sphere is an arrangement of polygons that approximates a true sphere. A geodesic dome is a portion of a geodesic sphere. Geodesic domes are efficient structures in several ways. A geometric dome supports itself without needing internal columns or interior load-bearing walls. History In 1919, seeking a way to build a larger planetarium, German engineer Walter Bauersfeld decided to mount movable projectors within a stationary dome. Thirty years later, R. In 1953, Fuller used his new system to cover the 93-ft (28-m) diameter courtyard surrounded by Ford Motor Company's headquarters building. In 1954, Fuller received a patent on geodesic domes. Fuller predicted that a million geodesic domes would be built by the mid-1980s, but by the early 1990s, estimates placed the worldwide number somewhere between 50,000 and 300,000. Raw Materials A few kit manufacturers use altemative materials to make prefabricated panels that combine the frame and exterior covering. Design
Bullock's Permaculture Homestead, Orcas Island Constructing Our Geodesic Dome After a year of living and camping in the desert, Patrick and I decided to build a geodesic dome structure to provide us with shade and shelter from the elements. Simple picnic tents and EZ-up shelters that are commonly used just won't cut it in this desert environment. Strong and gusty winds often blow in unexpectedly and are known to mangle inadequate structures without regard. We chose to build a geodesic dome because of its inherent stability and natural resistance to strong winds. What is a Geodesic Dome? First we did some research on dome construction to see what materials would be needed. Higher class domes offer greater structural stability and are ideal for larger dome frames. For more information on what a geodesic dome is visit wikipedia.org. Calculating the Struts – Dome Formulas Class 2V geodesic domes are made from struts of two different sizes. For an 8 ft 7 inch dome we needed: Strut length A = 5.3 ft. (35 A struts needed) Strut length B = 4.7 ft. (30 B struts needed)
Retreat Security Physical Retreat Security Providing adequate defensive measures must be given priority in the planning and development of any survival retreat. The threat of incursions by refugees and/or armed gangs is real and prudence requires that efforts are applied to minimize their potential for harm. In this paper an ‘event’ is any disaster, natural or man-made, in which there has been a complete national (and international) breakdown in society, law and order. The approach I have chose is based on the ‘onion theory’ in that there are several ‘layers’ of defence which must each be overcome for an invader to reach the ‘core’ of your retreat. The suggestions are based on three central ideas: camouflage, misdirection and practicality. Dirt: The outermost layer is termed the dirt, the reason should be clear after reading the description. Layer 1: This is the first layer of defence and begins at your gate. Layer 2: The second layer of defence begins just inside your gate.

Retreat (survivalism) A retreat is a place of refuge for those in the survivalist subculture or movement. A retreat is also sometimes called a bug-out location (BOL). Survivalist retreats are intended to be self-sufficient and easily defended, and are generally located in sparsely populated rural areas. With the increasing inflation of the 1960s, the impending US monetary devaluation, the continuing concern with possible nuclear exchanges between the US and the Soviet Union, and the increasing vulnerability of urban centers to supply shortages and other systems failures, a number of primarily conservative and libertarian thinkers began suggesting that individual preparations would be wise. Articles on the subject appeared in such small-distribution libertarian publications as The Innovator and Atlantis Quarterly. In 1976, Don Stephens popularized the term "retreater" and advocated relocating to a rural retreat when society breaks down. Bruce D. Robert A.
