How to Build a GeoDome Greenhouse - Northern Homestead

How to Build a GeoDome Greenhouse - Northern Homestead
When it comes to gardening in colder climates, a greenhouse is almost a must have. It extends the growing season and gives the plants a lot more heat. With a greenhouse, we can actually pick ripe tomatoes here and grow some plants that we would not be able to without one. A greenhouse can also be a great place to hang out on those cool spring days and summer nights. When we started to look out for one to build, our expectations were very high. In a northern garden we have to deal with frost, nasty winds and hail, and also loads of snow in the winter. Very unique, lightweight structure Stable in wind and under snow Optimal light absorption Has the most growing ground space A unique hang-out place An eye catcher The GeoDome greenhouse seemed to be just what we were looking for. What materials to use? We looked at dozens of how-to instructions and even bought a pricy e-Book (with very little value). Here we share our GeoDome building experience for anyone who wants to build a GeoDome .

Three-Cornered Things Buckyballs are remarkable structures, and not just to mathematicians. In chemistry, a buckyball—more correctly, a spherical fullerene—is a molecule of carbon atoms forming a hollow spherical “shell.” Many sizes and configurations are possible (and stable!), but due to Carbon’s chemical properties they always have a few common characteristics: the faces are rings of 5 or 6 carbon atoms, and each carbon atom bonds to 3 others. The most commonly occurring one, buckminsterfullerene, is made with 60 carbon atoms in the shape of a soccer ball: These molecules were named after architect Richard Buckminster Fuller due to their resemblance to his famous geodesic domes.

How I built my Geodesic Domes How to Build A Geodesic Dome Support this site Strength of a dome This picture is of a 3 frequency dome, roughly 16 feet in diameter, with four adults sitting on top of it. It is made of 3/4 inch awning tubing (which is stronger than 3/4 inch conduit). Cardboard Domes - Homepage: Constructing Cardboard Geodesic Domes That Will Survive Burning Man and the Black Rock Desert This site was designed in response to people asking us how we made our domes and who were interested in making their own. The design was borrowed from a 1973 edition of Popular Science and was improved upon to meet the rigors of the Black Rock Desert. These domes have served as an effective shelter against wind, extreme heat and, once painted, rainfall. The largest of the three domes in the picture opposite measures approximately 12' 7" in diameter and is about 6' 3" high at its center. We recommend building the largest one.

Wall ПРОЕКТ-КАЛЬКУЛЯТОР для кристаллического купола 3 частоты 7/12 и 5/12 части сферы!Проект не такой подробный, как бы хотелось, но включает в себя довольно много, как для калькулятора эксель)) Проект почти беЗплатный - плата за использование - РЕПОСТ :)) Начиналось всё как всегда, с малого - не выдержали нервы, в связи с многочисленными просьбами, пришлось начать делать калькулятор для "юбки", чисто пару стоек хотел закалькулировать)) Ну тут, как всегда, меня понесло, еле затормозил в итоге). Но обязательно, по мере возможности, буду расширять это дело и дальше. Обновления буду выкладывать под первой картинкой этого альбома.В состав проекта-сметы-калькулятора входит: устройство каркасов включая "юбку", контррейку, гидро-паробарьеры, оболочки с двух сторон, всякие шурупы и болты, утеплитель, кровля,устройство фундамента, обвязка, устройство перекрытия, и все материалы что туда входят, и тд. и т.п.

'The Pearl' dome house - passive solar design with a touch of high-tech Like its stablemate the Domespace house, David Fanchon's eco-friendly design is aimed at maximizing passive solar energy – though unlike the Domespace there's no rotating option. Dubbed "The Pearl," the standout features of the elegant domed structure are its integrated solar panels which can be adjusted to different angles to provide additional shade and optimize energy collection through the changing seasons. The pictures tell the story of the way in which The Pearl takes advantage of passive solar principles. Large south-facing (or north-facing if you reside below the equator) bay windows fitted with an automated venting system soak up the winter sun and allow light to enter every room, while the white steel roof reflects the sun in summer. The aerodynamic dome shape delivers protection from high winds and wild weather and the arch shape also provides resistance to earthquakes. More info at the Solaleya site.

Un domo sustentable que gira para aprovechar la luz solar Dome Space es una casa circular que tiene la capacidad de girar 360° sobre su eje. Esto permite aprovechar la luz solar al máximo para reducir el consumo de energía. Además, está construida con materiales ecológicos. This Software Helps You Turn Plastic Bottles Into Strong Large-Scale Structures Calling out all the engineering students and especially non-engineers out there. You can now design and build structures on your own without having to perform complex mathematical operations! A group of researchers at the Hasso Plattner Institute in Germany have created TrussFab, a new type of software that can fabricate large-scale structures that are rigid enough to support human weight. What is TrussFab? TrussFab is a software where you can sketch a simple structural design you want to create and the program automatically generates a bottle-based structure.

Zomes Concept - Zome Design Zomes en tubes de cuivre Ce sont des modèles de zome nomade sans connecteur (les tubes sont boulonnés entre eux). Cette technique nous permet de réaliser tout type de modèle quelque soit le nombre de côté et le nombre de forme (nombre qui régit si le zome est plus ou moins pointu). Zome Dome et Cie Voici un programme qui va vous permettre de construire plusieurs types de structures. Il est en cours de développement ... toutes remarques sont les bienvenues.
