Airex Balance Products. Rustic metals. Folding Geodesic Dome. Updated May 7 '012: The prototype is great for backyard use but not wind-proof enough for open desert.
To make it more weatherproof, I have just taped all the tab hinges to cover the flutes and keep water out. The tape covers much of the face of each tab to give it extra friction along with spray tack adhesive on all tabs, but in testing this setup still blows apart in strong gusts/dust devils. Using clips to secure the tabs still allows too much slippage and the panels come apart from each other. Next method to test: heavy-duty staples to secure tabs to each other, which of course would need a staple-puller to minimize damage to tabs. This seems like a fast way to erect the dome, but it would slow the deconstruction process. Once deployed I add short strips of tape across all joints on the outside of the dome to bolster it against slippage, and around the door joints. Putting this up in windy conditions would be problematic; morning while it’s cool and calm is the ideal time. Expect More. Pay Less.

Bed Bath & Beyond carries small in this ugly green non-scratch folding steamer. First off.....my metal ones never scratched a thing. This model doesn't fit well in small pot due to center pin being too high. Best Vegetable Steamer We've Had! Christy – January 16, 2016 My family bought this vegetable steamer several years ago and we have loved it!

Simple origami fold may hold the key to designing pop-up furniture, medical devices and scientific tools.
What if you could make any object out of a flat sheet of paper?
That future is on the horizon thanks to new research by L. Mahadevan, the Lola England de Valpine Professor of Applied Mathematics, Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, and Physics at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS). He is also a core faculty member of the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering, and member of the Kavli Institute for Bionano Science and Technology, at Harvard University. Mahadevan and his team have characterized a fundamental origami fold, or tessellation, that could be used as a building block to create almost any three-dimensional shape, from nanostructures to buildings.
The folding pattern, known as the Miura-ori, is a periodic way to tile the plane using the simplest mountain-valley fold in origami. "Could this simple folding pattern serve as a template for more complicated shapes, such as saddles, spheres, cylinders, and helices? "
