Would you like to share your experience, especially on the structural stength? We are a non profiit eco community and plan to build an efficient green house for ourselves.
I was thinking of trying this out framed in wood, but you comment makes me kinda worried. At the very least it seems to need to cross braces as shown. Did your wooden version work out?
Hello Paul. I just found your channel. I’m planning my retirement in SEA. I have a farm of two properties that I have leased. One lease is on a three year rotation. It was pawned to me and turns over every three years, if the 45k pesos is not repaid. So my friend, I like the tunnel for a barn and chicken coop. Also, I need a solar drier / dehydrator. I was thinking polycarbonate as the roofing. This is a structure that I could assemble myself or with two or three $10 per day filipino fellows. Termites are a terrible issue in the PI but I’ve researched some preventative measures used in Arizona and Florida, USA. I’m looking forward to purchasing your plans. Thanks
I'd love to make this out of 2x4's for a roof. Have you done any structural analysis since the production of this video? I wonder how much weight it will hold.
John, would you like to share your experience, especially on the structural stength? We are a non profiit eco community and plan to build an efficient green house for ourselves.
I have to ask a question, for a conduit dome it looks like the struts are all the same length, just different angles on the bend, is that correct? If so that makes for an incredibly easy build!
Paul, couple of questions How is ventilation managed on this poly tunnel. Most poly tunnels suffer from over heating. I really like the design its very beautiful and probably very strong but would over heat significantly without any shading. Floor insulation any ideas? with no auxiliry heating in the winter it would still be freezing with ice inside if their was no solar gain which by hearing your accent grey cold winter days would not be abnormal to ya. how do i accurately produce each end of the struts accurately. I thought about 3d printer could work really well. do you have the detail for this? Nick
I'm pretty sure the side length of the triangles is completely arbitrary as long as all respective angles remain the same. I think what you would do to resize your tunnel is to determine a good candidate from the three different colored struts Paul shows here, which will best suit the dimensions of your build. So for example, let's say you choose the purple strut - you pick the length you'd like that strut to be, and then find the proportion between your chosen length and the length of Paul's purple strut here. You then apply that proportion to the lengths of the other colored struts as given in the plans, to find the custom lengths of the struts you'll need. If that's not hard enough for you, you could use similar figures (length of 1 strut and the relative angles of the dome build) and a little trigonometry to come about the dimensions you need. Hope this helps.. 😄
Thought about 3d printing interlocking dome framework, using faster running extrusion rates at less resolution though could print the entire jobs worth over a month or something, after such a printer gets constructed of course. Lol
hy paul thanks for the vidéo do you send me the 3D plan ? i search a plan geodesique or ellipse icosahedron to make myself, i need the plans details for the 8 diameter dome and the second, after i want to try a 5 diameter and 6 high meter dôme
can you share me right measurement off joinery becouse i am using bamboo and iron joinery so my need is right measurement can you possibal to share with me
@@Geo-Dome Thx, but unclear. I was referring to the straight lines. This one has straight lines running horizontally, ie along the length of the tunnel. Is this the stiffer style?
Yes I did check sometimes you have to click the link and "save links" something like that. If it still doesn't work I'm doing a video with all the free stuff in one place, there will be a link it that. Might get it out today
A structure has to be triangulated in 3d space to be rigid, if for example you laid out a bunch of triangles on a flat surface they would be stiff in that plane but you could lift one triangle off the ground and distort the flat structure.
Omg I love it ! I’ll be building it in a month or two! I’ll post a video of the build! Thank you
did you build it?
I'd love to see your results!!

Thank you Paul, very kind and generous!
Great Resource thanks for providing this free of charge just about to finish mini eden truncated dome this summer
I made a conduit version of this, it had no strength. had to disassemble it. I'm going to try a wood one - hoping it will ave more structural strength

Hello Paul, how do we get the final plans for this please? Thank you
This is amazing thankyou! I have just bought gd 27 plans off you... this will definately be next. Thanks

Very impressive.

Yes all the same from hole centre to hole centre.
love your channel! love your content! love you!
I Live in a sub-arctic region I want something like this to cover my driveway at 365 feet long to avoid having to snow blow the driveway
Brilliant. Tank you.

This makes me want to replace the roof on my garage.
Hi Paul ! I' like to build an 25m width x 40m length tunel dome with steel tube struts . The struts length less than 2m . Can you help me design it ?
Did you never finish the plans. I was looking for them in the store.
Hello Paul, this question comes from central coast California. Can you use the wrangler flange on this project.
Le lien du telechargement non fonctionnelle ?
Has anyone actually built one that can post photos?
How do I calculate the dimensions of the triangles for different sized tunnels?
I'm pretty sure the side length of the triangles is completely arbitrary as long as all respective angles remain the same. I think what you would do to resize your tunnel is to determine a good candidate from the three different colored struts Paul shows here, which will best suit the dimensions of your build.

did these ever appear for sale?
hy paul thanks for the vidéo do you send me the 3D plan ? i search a plan geodesique or ellipse icosahedron to make myself, i need the plans details for the 8 diameter dome and the second, after i want to try a 5 diameter and 6 high meter dôme
What maximum loads this tunnel can withstand?
can you share me right measurement off joinery becouse i am using bamboo and iron joinery so my need is right measurement can you possibal to share with me
Check the description, there's a link to a free set of basic plans with measurements.
Where can i buy the full plan?
Can you connect this tunnel with the dome ?
The link to the download doesn't work. If you could fix it that would be great
Just checked it seems fine, have you tried right click and "save target as"
this one has straight lines going horizontally. Your other tunnel has straight lines going vertically. Do they perform differently? thx
Yes they do, tunnels with vertical aligned triangles are a bit stiffer and tunnels with fewer triangles going around the tunnel are stiffer again.
@@Geo-Dome Thx, but unclear. I was referring to the straight lines. This one has straight lines running horizontally, ie along the length of the tunnel. Is this the stiffer style?
Are the plans for this tunnel still available
Yes I did check sometimes you have to click the link and "save links" something like that. If it still doesn't work I'm doing a video with all the free stuff in one place, there will be a link it that. Might get it out today
@@Geo-Dome awsome thank you
Surprise that it needs extra supports. i thought geodesics are self-supporting.
A structure has to be triangulated in 3d space to be rigid, if for example you laid out a bunch of triangles on a flat surface they would be stiff in that plane but you could lift one triangle off the ground and distort the flat structure.
@@Geo-Dome thx, you mean this structure isn't triangulated in 3d space?
