BIG!!!!!!!!!!Bamboo Dome [04 August 2010]

Last assignment Real Construction that build a little cute dome also take 7 hours to complete.But,this time I gonna make a big geodesic dome within 30 minutes with 2 friends.This sound like MISSION IMPOSSIBLE.Rules of making big geodesic dome really tough for me especially ["Carryable" only by groups members]

In my opinion,get an idea,design an concept of dome and consider other factor must put in top priority instead of gather all that materials.So,there are require us consider a lot of thing for making this dome.First,base of dome must not too big or it cannot be carried by my teamate.Secondly is way to make a base with bamboo?Connect it with glue?? screw??connecter??Actually I also not sure way to build it.Thirdly gonna most important that is dome must float when 3 people go up.Component to make dome float must have air inside that component but where I get such component??There still got a lot of problem....BLA...BLA...BLA...BLA...It just look like endless.

There are 3 model of our dome design but there are its pros and cons for each model.Further discussion is needed for decide our dome.












We set our team name as KEDAH BOY-BOY because we 3 people are from Kedah state.Wow!! thing just occur coincidently.I put my product name as "EVAC" and it stand for evacuation when 2012 occur.

Real Construction [28th July2010]

This assignment have to build a geodesic dome with bamboo stick.Check it out at desert domes-dome calculator to get a reference.I choose 18.3cm as my 2V dome's radius because length of strut A is 11.30cm while length of strut B is 10.00cm.It will quite easy for me because I no need to round off that length.

First time I use cellophane tape to stick the strut but i totally just screwed because it doesn't work at all.Masking tape is better choice.

















There are 35 strut A and 30 strut B for geodesic dome.
















This is basic roof structure of geodesic dome.
















Roof of geodesic dome is almost complete.
















Roof is complete.
















Basic structure for base of geodesic dome.
















Base is complete.



When ROOF+BASE and it will transform into..........................
















That dome take almost 7 hours to complete and it is quite tiring but have some fun too upon saw that dome complete.

ACTOR

This 3 workers are actors.They are currently pouring cement on the ground and make it spread uniformly on the ground.Anyway,i really not sure the use of cement road.But that mystery will be reveal when that site is completely build.

RULE

Principle is care your safety as you walking around the construction site because there is working of destroying bridge.Besides,there is also frequent bypass of train for transporting build materials.It will be fatal if we are careless around that place.
