- It's just a triangle, right? Super Easy!
NOT! Oh my goodness, after today's adventures, I'm not sure I'll ever get my #geodome based #spaceshipearth project done. Check it out!

I absolutely love this series. I'm desperate for more.
Thank you! I promise I'll put up the next installment this week! I think you're gonna like it :)
Thank you for including the mistakes along the way! I'm early in my engineering path and I sometimes question whether or not I'm meant to be an engineer when I struggle with these types of mistakes... So it's definitely reassuring to see a seasoned engineer also make mistakes and argue with the tedious little details of a project!
Also sounds like you might want to go down to the Home Depot parking lot and hire some helping hands with all those dang triangles you have to make! 😅 How long do you estimate the total project is going to take? Also, just curious--How much of the details of the whole project do you plan ahead? (i.e., budget, time, blueprints, etc.)
We’ll learn all this geodesic stuff together, my friend! Ive made progress since this video and I can’t wait to share my solutions… and more problems as we keep on keeping on!
just a question about rollercoaster building. To bend PVC track do I just put down the supports and screw the PVC pipe to the support or do I heat up the PVC first? I was wondering because I watched a video of you building a rollercoaster and I couldn't quite tell because it was time lapsed but it looked like you were just bending the PVC pipe and screwing to the supports without heating them up and it just stayed.
I’ve done it both ways. Building supports and just banding the pvc to fit, and using hot sand or pvc heaters to soften it up. For shallow Ternes, probably just bending the PVC without heating it is OK. But, every situation is different and you’ll wanna make sure you do the math and behave very carefully!
@@WillPemble okay! Thank you very much!
hi are you still working on the launch coaster if you are add inversion please.
Yoy got this, live and learn, trial and error. Go Will.😊
Thanks so much for the support. ❤️
I’ll keep on keeping on for sure!
could the discrepancy be due to 2x lumber not being a full 2"?
Great question! Probably not for this design. It’s all about the length of each edge and the bevel angle of each panel. Next weeks video will give more info and visuals on that as well as… the start of the build!
So I have a question how much would does a wooden small coaster cost to make
Wow, working off a piece of paper. I built domes for years, and you're not building triangles they have to have pitch too, taking bets on how long before you find a dome guy and get real information. The pitch has to be built into each triangle like i said last time.
You got that right. Wish me luck!
just glue a little slice onto the short end
That might just do the trick! Thanks :)
How do you get or make Roller coaster wheels
I like to use 52mm skateboard wheels. The harder the plastic, the better.
Oh, shapes and colors and sides and edges and surfaces and points and vectors and... :D
2D shapes have edges. 3D shapes have sides. Technically because the triangles you're making have depth they're 3D and they have sides, but for the drawing they are 2D edges. The drawing has 3 edges therefore, and the triangles you're making have 8 sides.
whuuu? I hear you say. Well, consider... the three outside sides, the two 'surface' sides, and the three inside sides. 3+2+3=8. Of course, there's possibly the consideration the 'surface' sides are 3 separate sides each stick, so there's really 3+6+3=12 sides... but then each end of the 2x4s are a side, so there's another 3 to add, so that's 15... Or is that now surfaces...
...my brain hurts. :p
For this purpose, go with the 2D drawing and use edges, but call them sides because 3D part, because for now it's all you wanna know. 3 sides then.
As far as top/bottom/left/right/outside/inside/upper/lower/?... All your own perspective and/or relative to the next parts they attach to... or the ground. For the triangle, whatever's down on the ground is the bottom, the top point is up, then the two sides are left and right, depending on your perspective, as long as that perspective isn't directly from above or down a side, in which case it may be front or back, or maybe...
*head explodes*
Thank you thank you thank you!
Of course the sides all need a 6.5 degree bevel. That’s how it turns into a sphere when it goes together. But it definitely makes my head hurt! Next vid will show how I’m doing the compound miter thing. Sooooo much trial and error 😱.
