... I did the beginnings of such a grid just now. Took about 15 minutes. All the springs were already there stock standard. I made one new spring set so I...
... Okey, I think I can do this in a 2F cube. ... I can't visualize an octahedron and regular tet rhombic dodecahedron. ... LCD is not that important to me. I...
Hi Steve: I tried that EIG that I included in that last email and it didn't work. I am not sure what is wrong. I think there might be some wrong information on...
Howdy: It didn't work at all attaching an EIG file to an email to the list. The file comes through but it gets corrupted. Now I have attached a zip file. This...
Howdy: I think this will work. http://users.highway1.com.au/~dharmraj/EIG/EIG.html This is a zipped EIG on my web site. It shows Steve how to set up a quick...
sw dharhmraj, If you can make interlocking grid with a 1.0 f rd ( rhombic dodecahedron ) and a 2.0 f rd in the same grid... Then, if and when, we can construct...
To all - I just noticed in Cosmography on page 224, where Buckminster Fuller gives the values for his Dymaxion Constants as... Lineal conversion factor; ...
Hi; I have problems to understand why and what is the difference in My 1/4 reg.tet. and the Fuller 1/4 reg. tet. The 1/4 r.tet. is divided to 6 pieces. Lets...
I was intrigued by the eig copy/pasted straight from the email not being able to run in SpringDance. The script looked good so I thought the problem might be...
... Thanks for taking a look at the problem. I knew we had copied and pasted EIG files previously. Last night I isolated the problem to the sending of the...
... The cubes look rectangular. ... The cubes look rectangular once again. ... I recognize something with this jpeg. The rectangular cube in yellow through the...
... If you build a 1/4 tet from the blocks that built your elementry cube it will be 8 times the volume of the of the 1/4 tet that comes from the tetrahedron...
... Hi Steve, is that nine eigths? Or nine divided by eight? ... Steve, Can you eloborate on how and why you have com to this versus the hows and whys of...
... 1.0198244513... = 9/8 to the power of 1/6 = (9/8)^(1/6) [Remember, you're cube-ROOTing, not cubing. People are not so familiar with cubes and cube roots;...
dharmraj, Sorry for the mis-direction here...yes, you are quite right. It has been a while since I did this work and these "cubes" are really blocks, as you...
... O.K. let me interpret this a element.cube contains 6 shapes but you somehow going deeper to dissect the tetrahedron. The key word is in this sentence the ...
Rybo, ... By this question, I am going to assume that you may have a difficulty regarding fractions and using them effectively. 9/8 means either nine eighths...
9:8=1.128 1:8=.125 .125 x 9=1.128 A elementary cube 9 pieces = 1/8 of the whole, meaning a two f. cube. A rec. solid=18 peices volume= two cube= 1/4 of the ...
... ******* I don't know much about this kind of stuff, but taking a number to the 1/6th power isn't cube rooting, is it? I thought cube rooting was taking a...

... Hi Steve: I am building an EIG that is quite similar to L8062. It turns out that those rectangular solids are a cross section through the VE. I am familiar...
... This is a problem. In my quanta mod cube your kite equals 12 modules. That is half the volume of the tetrahedron. The 1/8 octahedron sits on the face of...

... Yes, I understand that and that is correct. I can't reduce something which is already reduced to the LCD.So yes the elementary building block is 1/2 the ...
Frank and dhamrmaj, I am glad, Frank, that you are concentrating upon learning the Fuller modules. You know your own cuts and modules. Dharmraj knows the...
