the green man haha that many is more likely to split the plywood than hold it together. Could have use 1/4 to 1/5 and just add washers. Either way it’s a very impressive build and I but the screwer was just a volunteer not the structural engineer/designer
@@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 ...
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
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.
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.
@@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.
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 !!!
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?
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
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.
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 TH-cam. Many hands working at once and the cuts all looked perfect.

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

So you would say, Wow.
Keep doing what youre doing. Your hard work was probably well worth it.
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.
@@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.

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.

All those screws seem a bit excessive.
Amazing structure ! Nice video too. The cut at 4:26 was not lost on me. Congrats it turned out beautiful .

This was so good I watched it 3 times.
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?
why not shoot the outside with gunnite or eslastomeric paint or even foam to make it waterproof and lasting.?
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?
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.
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
these things are so strong you don't need typical kinds and amounts of materials for a rectangular build
What an undertaking. Fantastic structure.
Can I buy the plans for this? I know its simple to build but the degree of slope on each piece is tricky...
Nice build. But what I will remember is the garbage left behind by the campers! 😔
I love this! Did it really require that many screws tho?
Think you used enough screws there Butch?
Now if we could sell a prefab kit on a bouyant floating concrete perpetual, hydro, pneumatic , electronic refrigeration unit pier pad...
I wouod some how fit windows into the openings to retain the smooth curve of this dome thanks Laurie
Really cool. Another Idea Worlds biggest soccer ball using this Idea.

Damn, y'all were way ahead of your time with that intro👍🏽
Very nice design.
Why wouldn't you paint the panels before you erect it?
You don't know anything ... Right?
Great I like the curved shape acnieved with the standard panels used...very intriguing thanks Laurie New Zealand
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?
looks so cool!
incredible
No insulation in panels ???
Any chance of buying plans for this
Why so many dang screws?
Wow! It's amazing!
Harika - wonderful
That would of been a great project to be involved in
Great Job!
What happened to the dome, afterwards???
Amazing!
Hi Kristoffer, what are you using the membrane?
A simple greenhouse foil/membrane
Want some plywood with your screws?
plywood dome? its made mostly of screws!
как же это круто
F'ing sick AF! Nicely done...
Sick !!
That’s a lot of screws 😮
3:33 - thats a stunning angle.
How do you prevent rot?
They painted it
what is the life expectancy of this..
Why? For what puprose?
bass if POPPIN in this vid
So what was the whole point?

awesome
That was literally a ton of screws.
Quedo brutal
Very cool
spray paint?
...
Love it!
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!
Thats us a great video just a look at building a thing is way cool.
Geniales!!
and whats the point?
👍👍👍👍 from Russia !!!
Double walls, that's A LOT of material used.
Best guess is approximately 258 sheets of plywood went into this.
I need you guys
기술자시네요, 어려운일 하셨습니다,
좋은 정보 감사합니다!

Not fire proof. That was the flaw with the giant plastic dome.
QUE LOCOS
way too many screws. It will brake plywood on a screw joint.
They could have staggered the screws, still seems like a kluge.
Welp, could have done without the techno music - that was quite annoying. But, really can appreciate the awesomeness of a dome build.
It needs some narrative and explanation.
DeWalt product placement
nice video too loud music.
Volume controls not working? Lol
Needs More -Cowbell- Screws
15k of plywood and 2k of screws wasted!
" Magic Bus ".
❤❤❤❤❤
🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🏍🏍🏍
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
Geodesic hitectors :)
It was better before painting
Fuck yes

These humans can build this structure, but can't put trash in the bin. Disgusting
После просмотра возник только один вопрос. Нахуя?
Would be a lot cooler if a ai robot made it using renewable materials
Pointless.
Pointless?
You're pointless
Music is obnoxious.
"Good" for ecology 🤮😠
Decadent........useless......WASTEFUL
