@@chedderburg exactly guys, my thought from the start of the video, till the end... this many screws weaken the plywood sheets, 1/3 of screws would be stronger than this since it would not create a line to fail at ...
@@dooleyfussle8634 May I respectfully suggest you track down Bucky Fuller's 40 hour 'Every Thing I Know' lecture, and you will see exactly that design amongst many other variations. The design dates back to mid 1960s and is a 4v variant I believe. The video series is impressive even today and yes 40 hours is quite a commitment but genuinely life changing in scope.
You're correct, Zomes were stretchable, this doesn't look like it could be stretched. I wasn't meaning to take anything away from Bucky, just never ran across that hexagonal variant before, and have met Steve Baer and built a dome using his geometry.
@@dooleyfussle8634 Well, to be fair, Mother Nature evolved it eons ago, but Bucky was the first to refine the maths to describe it [not that it really matters who was first anyway] : ) I keep putting off building my own, - when I finally figure out the best weather sealing solution, I'll begin... I generally try not to hero worship, but I make an exception for RB-F, his 'Spaceship Earth' outlook was and still is spot-on.
Wow, beautiful ambition! Well executed, congratulations to the people involved. Driving all those screws!? I feel for you. Also, painting that much real-estate with spray cans!? I feel for you. Thanks for sharing this really cool project.
What a cool looking dome. However, I think you might have spent too much on screws. It would have been very strong with just 1/3 as many. Using liquid paint, instead of spray paint would have been more ecologically friendly. But, it is a great design and looks fantastic. I would have appreciated some information as to why it was build.
Would love this on my property. . Wish I knew the cost .. I would close most openings and make it a house .. And the plywood framing inside the patterns would be drilled with big holes .. Make it a bit lighter and can fill with sprayfoam afterwards .. This would also be awesome over a swimming pool
It's a cool clever construction. I do not want to judge anything but IMHO you could make your life easier if avoiding some of the build mistake. I also believe that you didn't help the structure with all those screws (makes no sense to me), especially since this was for a festival and I presume a temporary build or a build to be moved afterwords. But a very impressive effort and bravo to everyone !!!
Awesome result, cool design, but I agree with several other people about the excessive screws. Not only was it unnecessary and wasteful, but it may have actually made the joints weaker with so many holes. And OMG with the amount of individual cans of spray paint you used I’m sure you opened a new hole in the OZONE layer!!!!!!
Using many screws instead of fewer but bigger screws, results in less strain at any one point along the length of the joins. Instead of having a lot of stress at fewer points along the struts. It looks, I agree, a tad excessive but actually there’s a lot of logic to using many but smaller Instead of fewer but bigger screws! ;) It’s just how it is sometimes.
If your purpose of using screws every 1/4 apart was to strengthen your joinery, you in reality have done the opposite. It is almost like you cut the panels off right where you joined them with the screws, it is ironic because you are attempting to join the panels, by cutting them right where you are joining them, by your joint method. Just picture what is happening, you have a consistent string of screws so close together, that in essence you cut it off right were you tried to join it, by using screws so close. It will still be strong, but because it is a geodesic dome, but that didn't help it. But that is a method of cutting or breaking things off at a planed place, without using a saw, by putting holes so close together, it is in essence cut, and then just put your little finger on it and push and it breaks right off at your perforations.
Hello Kristoffer, I have watched this video many times because it caught my attention that the structure is not made up of triangles like most domes. What advantages does this type of structure have? I wait your answer. Greetings from Argentina
I can´t seem to figure out how you connected the hexagons. There was a part they slide over, but that had to be at an angle.. did you just bend the wood inside?
Either A: Several thousand people got to experience up close a variant on the most efficient structure known in nature. There is no more efficient way of providing shelter. More recently the inspiration for carbon nanotubes' discovery - weight for weight, approximately 100 times stronger than steel. Imagine combining the two - a geodesic dome utilising carbon nanotubes - truly mind boggling potential. Or B: Geodesic domes are simply cool.
Ridiculous. Buckminster Fuller designed a dome in plywood. It is extremely elegant, light, labor-non-intensive, frameless, and sheds water like a duck. Lookup geodesic plydome as perfected by Steve Miller. If you want the plans, write me.
Take wooden strips of desired size & secure ends across a circle on the ground till you have your frame. Next staple canvas or other fabric around entire structure next paint it with portland cement slurry next trowel on 1 inch cement next chicken wire next trowel to desired thickness. Done. Inside can be plastered - holes cut early on etc. Way cheaper way faster. Too much waste w plywood.
easy on the screws lads, thats overkill

24,000 screws according to the website.
;-)
That's the most amazing thing I've seen today on UA-cam. Many hands working at once and the cuts all looked perfect.
Form , Light & Space ....Brilliant!
Every geodesic dome should credit Buckminster Fuller, the man was too ahead of his time, we need him now more than ever.
Actually not a geodesic, which are based on triangles; this looks more like one of Steve Baer's Zomes.

For an easier to find example, do an image search for Buckminster Fuller's 'Fly Eye Dome' to see an example of a geodesic that doesn't use triangles.

Amazing structure ! Nice video too. The cut at 4:26 was not lost on me. Congrats it turned out beautiful .
Keep doing what youre doing. Your hard work was probably well worth it.
Wow, beautiful ambition! Well executed, congratulations to the people involved. Driving all those screws!? I feel for you. Also, painting that much real-estate with spray cans!? I feel for you.

All those screws seem a bit excessive.
This was so good I watched it 3 times.

Jaye, please check ktejlgaard at behance for more information. Link is in the video description.

So you would say, Wow.
Would love this on my property. . Wish I knew the cost .. I would close most openings and make it a house .. And the plywood framing inside the patterns would be drilled with big holes .. Make it a bit lighter and can fill with sprayfoam afterwards ..
This would also be awesome over a swimming pool
Sounds good and the foam could add some structural rigidity and a vapour barrier if closed cell as well as the insulation.
Count up the number of sheets of plywood you need and there's your basic cost. Add $2000 for other stuff and you'd be pretty close.

What an undertaking. Fantastic structure.
Nice build. But what I will remember is the garbage left behind by the campers! 😔
Damn, y'all were way ahead of your time with that intro👍🏽

why not shoot the outside with gunnite or eslastomeric paint or even foam to make it waterproof and lasting.?
Now if we could sell a prefab kit on a bouyant floating concrete perpetual, hydro, pneumatic , electronic refrigeration unit pier pad...
Great I like the curved shape acnieved with the standard panels used...very intriguing thanks Laurie New Zealand
Hello Kristoffer, I have watched this video many times because it caught my attention that the structure is not made up of triangles like most domes. What advantages does this type of structure have? I wait your answer. Greetings from Argentina
I wouod some how fit windows into the openings to retain the smooth curve of this dome thanks Laurie
these things are so strong you don't need typical kinds and amounts of materials for a rectangular build
Why wouldn't you paint the panels before you erect it?
You don't know anything ... Right?
Really cool. Another Idea Worlds biggest soccer ball using this Idea.
I can´t seem to figure out how you connected the hexagons. There was a part they slide over, but that had to be at an angle.. did you just bend the wood inside?
Harika - wonderful
How structurally sound is your building friend, in comparison to a standard dwelling? Perhaps a figure in percentages....great design by the way....
Maybe you are new to geodesics
That’s a lot of screws 😮
Great Job!
Wow! It's amazing!
как же это круто
F'ing sick AF! Nicely done...
incredible
Amazing!
bass if POPPIN in this vid
What was the thought process on the number fo screws used? Was this for the look or was there testing done for the number of screws to use?
Best guess is approximately 258 sheets of plywood went into this.
looks so cool!
3:33 - thats a stunning angle.
Very nice design.
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!
That would of been a great project to be involved in
I love this! Did it really require that many screws tho?
Think you used enough screws there Butch?
Sick !!
Love it!
awesome
Quedo brutal
Can I buy the plans for this? I know its simple to build but the degree of slope on each piece is tricky...
That was literally a ton of screws.
Very cool
Is this the same group of people who erected a bigger version of this dome in clear plexiglass (lucite?) at Burning Man about 20 years ago?
Geniales!!
Thats us a great video just a look at building a thing is way cool.
QUE LOCOS
" Magic Bus ".
Double walls, that's A LOT of material used.
I need you guys
👍👍👍👍 from Russia !!!
spray paint?
...
plywood dome? its made mostly of screws!
Want some plywood with your screws?
DeWalt product placement
Any chance of buying plans for this
How do you prevent rot?
They painted it
What happened to the dome, afterwards???
No insulation in panels ???
Why so many dang screws?
기술자시네요, 어려운일 하셨습니다,
좋은 정보 감사합니다!
❤❤❤❤❤
Needs More -Cowbell- Screws
Hi Kristoffer, what are you using the membrane?
A simple greenhouse foil/membrane
what is the life expectancy of this..
Why? For what puprose?
Welp, could have done without the techno music - that was quite annoying. But, really can appreciate the awesomeness of a dome build.
So what was the whole point?
Either A: Several thousand people got to experience up close a variant on the most efficient structure known in nature. There is no more efficient way of providing shelter. More recently the inspiration for carbon nanotubes' discovery - weight for weight, approximately 100 times stronger than steel.

Or B: Geodesic domes are simply cool.
way too many screws. It will brake plywood on a screw joint.
They could have staggered the screws, still seems like a kluge.
15k of plywood and 2k of screws wasted!
Ridiculous. Buckminster Fuller designed a dome in plywood. It is extremely elegant, light, labor-non-intensive, frameless, and sheds water like a duck. Lookup geodesic plydome as perfected by Steve Miller. If you want the plans, write me.
Not fire proof. That was the flaw with the giant plastic dome.
Geodesic hitectors :)
Fuck yes
It needs some narrative and explanation.
and whats the point?
nice video too loud music.
Volume controls not working? Lol
🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🏍🏍🏍
Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should
what's wrong with me ... i totally read Do Me 2.0 ...
cool construction design that ended up looking awful when finished... and turning the property into a garbage dump
It was better before painting
These humans can build this structure, but can't put trash in the bin. Disgusting

Would be a lot cooler if a ai robot made it using renewable materials

После просмотра возник только один вопрос. Нахуя?
Pointless.
Pointless?
You're pointless
What a waste of plywood. Could have been about 10 tiny homes for homeless folks...but hey, at least it became a crappy video that got some views.
Instead of whining about other people project, go out and build your own homeless shelters if that is what you value.
Music is obnoxious.
"Good" for ecology 🤮😠
