dymaxion

Fuller liked it so much he used it for a lot of projects: Dymaxion house, Dymaxion car, Dymaxion World Map, and Dymaxion Chronofile.

Thankfully the recommended uberman is 6x20-22 and dymaxion is 4x30, but there are no confirmed successful adaptations to it.

And that is a _could_: you can add branches like in Dymaxion wherever you feel like it.

Take it further to the Dymaxion model - half an hour of sleep every 6 hours!

The Dymaxion car had three wheels, two at the front, with rear-wheel steering and the engine mounted at the back.

Understanding the distances between points on Dymaxion map is nigh impossible (at least for me).

I've always wanted a massive dymaxion project and never thought of going about it this way.

The museum has Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion house, the Ford Nucleon (a nuclear-powered concept car) and the car JFK was in when he was shot.

Fuller made such a file, look up the Dymaxion Chronofile.

Showing them Bucky Fuller's dymaxion map is always fun.

Now I need to figure out how to convert open-street-map tiles into a dymaxion projection, which I can then print and mount on triangular boards.

Fuller's reputation seems to far exceed his actual accomplishments: Most of his inventions were never put into practical use, and some such as the Dymaxion car were actively lethal.

This is a Dymaxion Map (or "Fuller Projection") that dynamically re-arranges and re-orients itself as you drag the map around.

After playing around with syllables, he came up with "dymaxion" as a good brand name that fit the way Fuller talked.

With the advent of tablets and the general digitsation that's been going around, you can have "rotable" Dymaxion maps -- maps that could be rotated and oriented in such a manner as to look like what we're used to -- but when zooomed out, the Dymaxion/Fuller projection gives students/people an accurate picture of what the earth truly looks like.

Eleanor Saitta ‏@Dymaxion 6m Let's be clear in talking about that scary fine: Yahoo could pay $250k a day for a decade with cash on hand.

I'd do a Dymaxion-style projection onto a truncated icosahedron (Goldberg polyhedron G(1,1), a.k.a.

I also have a soft spot for Dymaxion, although I don't use Dvorak.
