Impressive, this could revolutionise the complexity of Ikea furniture.
Nice
God don’t say that
If this don't get a weird name with a lot of "ö's", we riot
MAKING IT MOOOOORE COMPLEX.
This could actually be the first thing anyone could build from IKEA without instructions
Now cover it with a Blanket.... boom! You got a tent that is also a dome
With no entryway, YOOHOOO
@@ROCKDESTROYER. do you see those giant triangle holes?
that's a great idea
@@watchletter those holes are only "giant" if you're like 10 years old.
@@patrickkcirtap2008 let me and my surpisingly flexable body alone
I hope you filed a patent.
Why Patents are meaningless unless you have money to defend them, China ignores them, and thus anyone in the world can circumvent your patent claim.
That's why before you patent it you copyright domestic and international the method of manufacture all the way up to method of use and every step in between. After it is iron clad with copyright then you file for utility patent both domestic and international and if anyone makes it, uses it as your copyright method of use covers etc. You get paid. Of course you'll have to get legal representation to handle all that but it is about the best way to cover yourself. Needful and useful changes I wouldn't think can touch this because there isn't much to change.
Turbo Chevelle problem is international laws don’t apply in China they will just do it anyway
@@zekiah2 sure they do lol.... do they steal intellectual property yes but I can assure you that international patent law does in fact exist in China and so does UCC (Uniform Commercial Code). I'm guessing you've never conducted international business and are just regurgitating what you heard from someone else. Hell there are people in the US that steal patent ideas all the time, if money is involved you can bet your idea will be stolen sooner or later. It is common practice for a company to come out with new tech and then competitors let them work all the bugs out and prove the concept only to swoop in and make a couple "needful and useful changes" and patent their own and it's perfectly legal.
@@IdgaradLyracant if it's a good idea.. the money is there.. and u have no idea if this guy is an attorney or wealthy.. cheer up..

This. This is an underrated comment.
Too accurate sir 👍

China has started making these brackets before the video ended..
Let's hope
I hope they didn't.
😅😅😅😅
If these brackets could be weaponized, you can bet Israel has already stolen the idea.
@@donniefair I'm a former Army Ranger, everything can be weaponized.
For the guy that wants a bunch of geometric shapes in his back yard!
Yes! You are so right! There are no commercial applications for this once so ever because the original creator dident demonstrate any!
Dang.. I hope he doesn't mind if I violate the principles behind this technology by building a structure with it.

*"Hey v-sauce, michael here!" sounds from your back*
That's me! I'm a guy who wants lots of geometric shapes in my backyard!

At first I was like, where was this 30 years ago when I needed it, but I think I need it more now than then.. time to build a pirate ship..
Can I be the guy with the parrot?
@@61percentodicarica
Arrrrrr!
Look, I'm gay
I really am curious how these would assist in the manufacturing of a ship that is of the pirate variety.
So basically it would look like a bowl. With lots of triangular holes
I was going to say: "Yeah, but how strong is it?" Ingenious dude.
Why every body here comments so discouraging
He did good job give him a brake nice work
Holy shit learn to spell
I don't know if this already existed or not, but I know a lot of geodesic building approaches and this is by far the best I've ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. You've made my day!
This is a really elegant solution, man. I look forward to your Kickstarter.
Great idea ! But so what now ? Are the products already launched 3 years later ? Where can we get these strong brackets ?
This is basic structural mechanics, it is already widely use on structures.
Like a hurricane tie
Yeah... The mechanics are basic ... The bracket isnt
No shit Sherlock
Lol
Engineering systems with these will depend the shear strength of those bolts.
Yep, the bolts better be top shelf, but I’d be more concerned with drilling into the end grain like that. That wood splitting is the weakest point.
@@Venuevideos definitely the wood, not the bolt.
@@Venuevideos
There are numerous weak points, the bolts are the least of your worries. Check the video at 52 seconds in and to get some idea of what will happen to the stability of the bracket "ring" when one or more strut-to-bracket connections fail for any reason. A simple (cheap) hub made from a short section of 3" steel or aluminium tube with holes drilled in the sides wont twist or deform in that situation because it isnt reliant on the struts to maintain its circular integrity.
Simmons Universe exactly
Shared loads people. Shared loads.
I really hope you don’t think you’re the only one in the world to come up with this because I have Ikea folding chairs with that exact bracket
Ain't shit without proof
@Alex Crimson you're so vauge as fuck. Mundane son of a bitch
Alex Crimson this is the internet. If you can think of it someone is lying about it.
@Mordaci Stewart what's wrong sweetheart?
The award is in you getting the satisfaction of diminishing someone other than yourself. You know that feels good, that's why you do it. If your opportunity to diminish is based on truth, you feel justified because you are "just being honest" but in reality youd probably take chances that aren't rooted in truth too because that's a cheap alternative to getting the opportunity to diminish that you will take if there isn't even any real fact to whatever bullshit you are about to vomit
My sister's kids play with the same triangle shape ... the piece is made of plastic and magnets... you just made an adult version of the same triangle shape.. AWESOME!!! Looks way more fun.
i am an inventor also and love geodesic domes. Your product is excellent and the process to get to this point builds internal strength and confidence
EXCELLENT
Kickstarter? Brackets for geodesic domes have existed for a long time...
Yeah, but he hasn't been making money off them... :D
True. its already been done before. i got a whole set of brackets somewhere in my garage from like the 80's
Yes they do have dramatic music but no video
Haters gonna hate.
It's true that there are other fixed kits but this allows for 3,4,5,6... way interesection that will not limit the creative component.
Please provide a calculator for determining the quantity necessary for a project, for when the Kickstarter launches. I need a hemisphere with radius 40'.
Years ago i built a v3 geodome using the calc on your geodome website. Infact i built 2 the first was bamboo and was terrible. The second was tannelised roof batten and was very strong the hubs were solid wood using metal mending plates bent in a vice to the correct angles. Anyway ive just stumbled across your youtube and i really want to support your unilinks kickstarter. By the way my wife and i hired a geodome for our wedding day. Which was almost 4 years ago. Probably built my first one about 14 years back. Anyway thanks for the inspiration. Regards Andy
Would a bracket with a nut and another without, instead of a loose nut, make securing brackets to each other easier?
A few problems: rust, maintenance, metal strength, more stress tests, purpose?
To many nuts and bolts , by the time you get it together burning man is over
Best comment. 10/10 would like again.
LoL
Lol
"buring man" lol im dying
Not if you construct panels off site, store, bring them, then screw those panels together, effectively downsizing setup time through a scale-up of modulation
Some kind of click and lock system would save a lot of time!
Beware someone could steal that idea
Also small aluminium frames so you got an easy and durable tent system.
stainless steel lasts longer
It wouldn't be as strong
@@spandexunderwear3630 As indeed your front door could be twice or three times the thickness or made of titanium
How can you patent two holes at 90 deg?
also, I sure hope you filed for a provisional patent before posting this video. Otherwise, public disclosure will make your invention fall under prior art, and therefore render it unpalatable.
That's what I was thinking, it's so simple its basically patteningba screw
It’s a unique shape. It is patentable (design patent), and utility patent as that unique shape makes it operate in the required way. provided it was patented before going public with the idea.
Hater's gonna hate.
@@jameslincs I have used similar on machines/ the structural design has flaws/ a flexible joint will loose the bolts because it's forces use tension (over time)/
you can patent a process as well
Amazing. Please share the Kickstarter link on the description.
Screwing into end grain is super weak but I still love the idea
If you go deeper it should be ok.
In tension that's true. In torsion and compression, not so much...
Hey I have idea use aluminum rods or something
(I don’t know what I’m saying I’m just putting ideas out there
I’m still learning about this kinda stuff
nice job, but I'm pretty sure these brackets exist?
Me too. Already made...
Link please?
There are things like Starplates that only work for one type of dome, I haven't seen any universal ones like this before and I've been researching domes for my own building site.
Its so simple, and there are literally whole fucking catalogs of brackets and faciners... So, yeah, I'm sure it exists, and is used for at least one specific obscure purpose in industry
I searched around a bit on Kickstarter, this system isn't listed on there yet, but there are already several other geodesic systems to compete with
Ingenuity and passion in action. Good luck with getting this mainstream.
Do you suppose one could use these to stud frame a new house in particular shapes? Like a pyramid-shaped home for example? Would it be sturdy enough for the foundational structure?
Okay what can you do with it? Like cool that it can make a good dome but what would it be used for
Research it a little more before getting too excited, similar brackets have been on the market for a while.
But but but - he has an idea, and Kickstarter - it Must be something great!!!
/s
@Mordaci Stewart well for (kick)starters, you can learn how to use google.
Illogical_ws6 oh okay, what do you call these pieces them to pull them up on google? If they exist and are easily findable then surely you the master of google searches can find them for sale without even knowing the names of them. I will wait for your response with a link to the product unless you’re a complete fraud who’s just lying cause you want to be a snarky ass.
@@SpaceManNation nearly useless
@Mordaci Stewart and notice how everybody else in the comments agrees with me and nobody agrees with you two idiots? Yeah that's because you're stupid.
Brilliant Paul! Such versatility in such a tiny bracket. Of course, your vast experience with non-rectilinear structure had a lot to do with it! I'm surprised that the two sides look to be at 90deg to each other and not some "special" angle considering all the geometries you've modeled. That's the real genius you've unlocked!
I am curious how well this might hold up structurally when applied on a larger scale.
It would not hold up in my opinion
ace boogie yup, I imagine they wouldn’t hold the weight of a building, welding still would be needed for that.
There are little breaking points at every hinge
Hmm....sounds like a pretty cool idea, but how far could it be scaled? And what real problems could this solve?
Awesome project! Although I'am not going to buy one just because I don't need it! But damm I really hope you'll make it far with this project! And meaby the next video I see is u driving in a porsche!
Genius! Simple and effective, can't wait to see these everywhere
Congratulations, you just reinvented the Erector Set/The wheel/every 90° angle bracket ever made. Good job...
No idea why TH-cam recommended this.
Not complaining
It is pretty cool though tbf.
I was just looking for easy ways to build wodden domes for playgrounds.
I respect the confidence you have in the product.
I had this exact idea back in 2014!!! So glad you made it! Now I don’t have to ;) now make a version that can fit schedule 40 pipe
Everyone: wow that's cool

Justin Brooks yes, music makes it sound like the machine uprising is about to start
It doesn't matter when the editing is basic as well.
@@greennbean should have went with the royalty free ukelele music...
@viewz is that your dad or something?
Looking forward to it! What are you going to call it on Kickstarter? I am searching for it.
What are you gonna put on A kickstarter? Metal parts or wooden parts?
Hope it all works out. Only gripe would be there are a lot of points of failure.
Seems like a good tool, but it's hard to believe this hasn't been made yet.
Wow... and it’s stable too! This is really impressive and interesting. I hope you’re successful
I will definitely be keeping a look out on KS for the launch. Well done, sir.
Nice idea and gets around the tricky calculations for connecting junctions, stretch plastic sheeting over some of those shapes and you have flat packed green houses or temporary shelters.
Do you need to math out how big your struts need to be in order to get an even, closed steucture? Or since they are all the same length and are in a triangle shape will they just fit?
This is brilliant, although a little easy to copy at home for a serious project to be honest. Great idea, i wish you the best.
SORRY, IT IS NOT BRILLIANT AT ALL
It almost seems so simple that somebody should have made this before - oh right - it is nothing new.
What is it, about fifty years? Thanks PR for thinking this out or we would be waiting another half century for a reliable, low-cost, onersizefitsall, hub system that can be made stronger and stronger as the years roll on.
I am definitively supporting this on kickstarter, Paul!
Ave was showing a version of this from the town pump CNC. Glad you got it sorted out!
Mr. Robinson, please, please, don't let other people plagarize your products and ideas, please. Let us know if you are already working creating a patent. You're a genius.
So naturally refreshing your design is Paul. Ahhh. Like a drink of cool water. Get us the link for your kickstarter, and we will help you get this launched, and be among your early bulk customers. Please include some $$ for your early R&D and more for destructive tests of samples so you can publish yield strengths for design/safe loads. Some of us will have to "prove it" to our local code officials! Thanks!
Probably need to go and do some patent research first. This sort of bracket has been around for likely 200 years now. Mining and tunneling used it way back then and some RV's and campers use them for the fold out awnings and collapsible frame tenting/portable work structures use something like this on their pivots.
I remember doing this type a project back in grade school in Iceland and later in Denmark as well, so at least here in Scandinavia its common knowledge....
I honestly cant understand how anyone could be so stupid as to think they them selfs in the 21th century to have "invented" this...... i mean Whu Da Fuq...
You shouldn't do sharp 90 degree angle, it is a point of concentration. Make it slightly rounded
que angulo recomendarias
I can't wait to get mine from aliexpress!
Brilliant, let me know if you need any 3D Printing done. I have a form 2 and plenty of resin. Not cheap but its guaranteed engineering material.
Cool....but why? Any structure is stronger with fixed connections that are specifically designed for that connection & don't move.
Is this a self-sealing stem bolt?
These things kinda remind me of those little magnetic triangles that you'd play with as a kid
This could actually be pretty useful but how would one implement these in a large structure
Search for tridilosa
Genius. Very simple easily mass produced product. You could probably make even more offering sets of struts in variety of lengths secondary sales on same website. Best of luck.
So how much are you looking to sell these for ? And what’s your plan for production
Welcome back to Weird Sh*t That TH-cam Recommends for Me: part 754

It's the bracket he's trying to sell, you cretin.
@@AnonEMoose-mr8jm comments like yours make me hit the nae nae
i'd like to see the point of failure to know precisely how much can it take.
So what will be on kickstarter? The metal pieces? A bag of 100 for less than $50 may work
When is this going to be on Amazon? Would be like 10 packs if decent price.
Now I can build my very own giant meatball
Having one of the two brackets tapped so the bolt threads into the bracket directly would make assembly much faster. No nuts.
Introduce a threaded ear; having to keep track of what (left and right hand) ears are threaded increases complexity and reduces flexibility. Part count is increased from three to four.
Lmfao CC 🤣
Awesome 😎 I was thinking about how to do this about 2 days ago. 5G read my mind and put this in my feed.
Sort of ha
well to me pretty much a brilliant idea. very impressive. i have seen so many ideas of people trying to nail the geo-desic dome coupling. you just got it right.
It's cool looking. I like it. But what is it used for?
🔵 Very good idea!.... however, those conical-head screws are entirely the wrong hardware choice for that application.
Yes, you use what you have until you can buy something proper, I use button head stainless screws now.
@ Paul Robinson,
🔵 Stainless steel screws are okay as long as they don't react corrosively with the material of the bracket, also, You'd probably be better off with a ( thick-headed) Torx or poly-drive washer-head or truss-head type screw than a button-head, The wider the head the better in order to dissipate stress over a greater area.
Also, 'Self-locking'-nuts ('Nylok' is my personal favorite], or 'Staked' or 'Stressed'-type-nuts MUST be used in an application like this to prevent the brackets from coming un-done from each other.
I'm SO glad to see that you drilled pilot holes for something like this, as you'd be surprised how many 'Seemingly-knowledgeable' people would just drive a screw right into the end of a support like that and compromise the Integrity of the lumber by splitting the heck out of it because they didn't drill a proper pilot-hole. About your design though, XLNT idea and execution!!... I wore several hats in Aerospace over the course of several decades and I can see other applications for it as well, in my opinion it should become standard-Hardware available in an assortment of materials and size ratios in Home Depot, Lowe's Etc. by the bucket full!!.....
Protect-it!!! (patent) and promote the HECK out of it where EVERYONE (especially Contractors) who doesn't know they need it yet will see it. I've seen SO many great products die as a result of lack of promotion in the 'Right places'.
...... I would say "Good luck" but I really don't think you need 'Luck',....I just think you have an excellent product here with a design that speaks for itself!
I sincerely hope this makes you a VERY wealthy man, as it's certainly a VERY worthy idea!
I remember seeing AVE make a vid about this.
and it looks like uncle bumblefuck's design recommendations were incorporated
Looking forward to it! Nice work!!
Amazing....
I hope you do!!!!!
Wish you all the best!! 🙏🏻
I can make these in bulk in a day. How many do you want? 3mm mild steel?Should be able to stamp or plasma out thousands, and fold in a semi automatic hare press.
if you haven't already you need to apply for a patent
What hell is a patent? Said the Chinese. 🤣
Probably too late already but he may still have a chance with the right marketing and if he comes up with the right range of strength capacities and not just a single one as shown here. Might want to think about some that are prethreaded as well to eliminate nuts.
Aluminum, SS, zinc plate, maybe even polycarbonate?
Too late. Once you show it publicly on TH-cam it cannot be patented anymore.
(Laughs in chinese)
@Chip Fisher Yep you're right and about £30k, I'd rather take the risk.
You basically build an adult K'Nex set.
DN 13 yeah but f it
Hey, anything beats this upside fish bowl I’m living in
I saw that on AvE . Good to see you fixed the problems. Now just a patent.
Look promising! Good luck with the project Paul!
Looks great, but for larger structures those bolts will need castle-nuts with safety wire for long term installations.
Maybe these structures could serve as a frame for molded concrete?
@@mattbarr2321 Or use it to rig a steel structure, then weld the joints.
This concept is nothing new. Just look at all the styles of tube aluminum folding outdoor chairs.

Pro carpenter says: screwing into endgrain is dumb. Yurt-nerds will love this crap
As long as a pilot hole is drilled, there should be no problem. But whether or not this guy drilled pilots doesn't really matter because he had no issue with splitting that I could see.
Paul good luck man. That is genius. I would contribute to your kickstarter if you launched it

The price needs to be low as you need 660 of them to build a 3v 5/9 ;)
Add the screws, nuts and bolts.....
@@stevelacroix2917 If you buy the hardware in bulk, it's not so bad, all things considered. If one can use these to build a structure strong enough to endure a hurricane, I'd have to think it's pretty economical, comparatively speaking. Just a guess on my part. Haven't crunched any numbers. Yet.
Yea it likely be intially expensive as it would probably would be custom pressed and bent. Before a high volume streamlined process is created
@@cosmosity1693 Parts like these are pretty economical on a large scale. Just a simple stamp and bend. If automated you could make something like 1 per second.
That would take a large initial investment, and the demand has to be there. The tricky part would be to get building codes to approve the design. If not, the market would be limited to DIYers.
Could have used this on some of the yurt type designs we made out in Colorado. The ring walls were triangular. All we used was eyebolts on the end of each cylindrical wood beam and wire.
There is already a firm in Berkeley CA that design and make all of the components for geodesic homes of various sizes. how would compare to their's?
Hate to burst bubbles here but this bracket design has been around for at least 200 years.
