PentaDome
In 2001 I wanted to feel the pain of steel conduit geodesic dome crowd.
How do you build one ? |
T-10 24' Diameter
In 1999 Polydomes needed a large gathering space. A 30' in diameter dome was built using Spacelounge's Plans. It took 3 T-10 Parachutes to cover 240 feet of pipe. By cutting the diameter down to 24 feet, only one T-10 Parachute and 180 feet of pipe were needed. How do you build the smaller 24' T-10 Dome ? I would like to thank Spacelounge for the 30 foot dome plans, the Playa for forcing me to redesign it into two smaller T-10 domes, and my neighbors for letting me keep domes up for entire summers so I could watch them fail over time. |
Future
Projects
I would like to build a mylar dome someday. The mylar would keep out the Playa sun and mess with your head when you turned on a light and saw 40 different reflections recursing on each other. If someone would like to give me a 6' by 200' roll of gold or silver heavy duty mylar, it would be one heck of a gallery piece. I am also working on the designs for a rolling puppy pile dome and dome cover for the trike. I would also like to reconstruct a transegrety dome I built in the mid-Seventyies. This was build out of waste 3' x 5' sheets of 1/8 inch PVC plastic. The same method could be used to make a dome out of fed-ex boxes for the "Castaway Camp". |
