Embodiment Construction

[0012]FIG. 1 illustrates a high level view of the invented device. Shown is a Geodesic Dome (1) with a plurality of triangular panels (2). A plurality of hubs (3) join said plurality of triangular panels (2) to form said Geodesic Dome (1). Said triangular panels (2) are set at specific dihedral angles to create said Geodesic Dome (1). A plurality of gaskets is used to create waterproof seams around each triangular panel (2).

[0013]FIG. 2 illustrates a typical triangular panel (2) of the invented device. Multiple layers (12) of Magnesium Phosphate Ceramic Cement are poured into a mold at various levels of density. This makes for a structurally strong and well-insulated Geodesic Dome (1). Said triangular panel (2) is bounded by first edge face (4), second edge face (5), and third edge face (6). First edge face (4), second edge face (5), and third edge face (6) are sloped to create dihedral angles of the Geodesic Dome (1). Said triangular panel (2) contains first hub receiver (7), secon...

Abstract

A Geodesic Dome made of triangular panels pre-casted with Magnesium Phosphate ceramic cement is described. Said triangular panels consist of multiple layers of Magnesium Phosphate ceramic cement poured into a mold with successive layers at various levels of porosity, reinforced with basalt and hemp fibers. A plurality of hubs joins a plurality of triangular panels at specific dihedral angles to enclose space. The hubs are bolted into a threaded sleeve that is embedded into the corner of each triangular panel, thus creating a Geodesic Dome.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to the manufacture of a Geodesic Dome to serve as shelter. The present invention utilizes triangular panels pre-casted of Magnesium Phosphate ceramic cement reinforced with Basalt Fibers and connected by a plurality of hubs. The result is a pleasant environment for human occupation.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The Geodesic Dome is well recognized as the optimal method of enclosing the maximum space with the minimum amount of materials. The fundamental geometry of this structure creates many challenges when traditional construction methods are applied. Traditional construction using lumber, plywood, and shingles is complex, creates excessive waste, is difficult to maintain, and difficult to make waterproof. The introduction of Magnesium Phosphate ceramic cement enables pre-casting of extremely strong and waterproof triangular panels, which are capable of withstanding centuries of deterioration. Most of the pitfalls of traditional...
