Geodesic Dome window tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- Making windows for geodesic domes isn't that difficult, for basic greenhouses you can just make another frame, turn it inside out and have a working window in a few minutes. with more complex builds, including houses you need to add a little extra work but it is easily manageable without the need for specialised tools or equipment.

never thought it would take a flat piece of glass, but what do I know. interesting how a series of triangles can make up a dome. I am now thinking about building one(maybe a small scale for starters).
Fab as always - thanks for posting Paul.
Ingenious design
Great info Paul! Thanks Again for all the cool stuff that you share! i will be talking to you soon Take care
Greetings from Illinois USA.
Really useful tutorial.
Hi Paul could you give some details for the flashing what material is used ???
what I don't understand is why a whole nother triangle has to be added. I mean, what's stopping you from just adding a hinge?
I guess there might be concern about water dripping in. But I want to build a dome for a tree so I am not worried about leaks.
remembre that the wood in the dome itself is whats holding the construction together.
"fiberglass the whole unit"? Can you be more specific about what sort of process or coating you're referring to, for making the raised-lip version of the window watertight?
Hola Paul, que programa usas para hacer las ventanas?? Desde ya gracias, estoy haciendo uno, pero me falta el sistema venta, saludos de 🇦🇷🙋♀️
Hola! encontraste la solución?? yo aun no, En que parte de argentina estas??
Hola Paul, nos podrías explicar como hacer la ventana que muestras al inicio del vídeo, la que se puede abrir, con sus medidas y tips. Muchas gracias
What is the program You are using?
can you use 2x4 or2x6 lumber with this kit?
Hey, Paul. Could you point me toward the window hardware you use? I can't seem to find anything like it. Also, do you shorten the length of some struts in your plans? By a 1/16 or an 1/8th? Is this done intentionally?
OK I have made lots of different window openings, what I found worked best was normal hinges with a Quadilent Stay as an opening locking system. I have a tutorial here about windows: ua-cam.com/video/ObRKygAC7Hs/v-deo.html I found auto openers do work but they bend backwards in strong winds.
The "rotate by 180 degrees" part only works if the panel is equilateral or isosceles. On a higher-frequency dome that could be an issue, right?
Yes you are correct, there are two ways to fix this though. If you made the windows upside down on the jig, marked them as windows so you don't mix them up. Or you can design your dome not to have scalene triangles (this is my preferred method) scalene triangles are not nice to work with because you have to have left and right hand versions and not mix them up. You can make higher frequency domes without scalene triangles, for example my 4v dome has only 4 unique equilateral/isosceles triangles (a standard 4v has 6 different triangles some of which are scalene) so it can be done.
Ok understand
Ich werde das anders machen ok,die Sonneneinstrahlung ist zu gefährlich
Das ist sehr kompliziert
@@Geo-Dome where is that video?
Whot kind of elastic flashing would you recommend? It has to move like a hinge when windows open and close.
On polythene covered domes I use polythene to flash the window, on glass or perspex I use rubber, a bike inner tube cut down the centre works great, the flashing has to go under the panel above then over the top of the window panel, if you need more details let me know and I'll do a vid
Paul Robinson thanks. I have a poly dome but windows I made of polycarbonate and the panels around I want to exchange to polycarbonate too cos I need to drive a chimney thru the roof. Wanna heat the dome in hardest frosty times in winter and in spring. Poly flashing I have cos the constructor did it for me, I just want something longer lasting. A video would be great 👍
