How origami is inspiring new kinds of emergency shelters
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 авг 2024
- Engineers have come up with a way of designing structures based on the ancient art of origami. The structures can be put up with by inflation, fold up flat for storage and transport, and can be made of strong, rigid materials. One hope is that these structures could be deployed in disaster zones for use as emergency shelters.

I was expecting a comparison of stability between a conventional and a newly designed, both under pressure or blown by the wind e.t.c
Fascinating w/ an enormous future potential!
Veritasium made a longer and very recommendable video on RUclips about a year ago on this subject: Engineering with Origami.
Good news. Every application is so worthy.
Very cool congratulations
Amazing work!
very cool
Actually, if used and spread approprietly, this could help many many lives
not really, every change in the past did the same and the "problems" are still present -its like a herd of cows needs more and moe land since they become more and por ,leader ,business ignore the problems -and the thing that will not ignore will the the upcomimg Ai's -you and the rest humankind will be like pets and the ais has has the administrator rights then over the life of humans and this "shit of misuse will end for human" (and start for ais)
Intresting
Very interesting. Thanks.
WOW! 💚
Amazing.
I wonder if/when we will see a software platform to design such structures where you input your constraints and it tries to best match them.
Also, I wonder if you added carbon fibre spars at the edges of the faces with eyelets for guy lines you could use the principles of tensegrity to reinforce it in different ways. They probably have it in hand but it's fun to spout off ideas that this generates.
Bingo! ruclips.net/video/aR5N2Jl8k14/видео.html

I want make a small one for myselfwhere can i buy plans
That's the maths is engineering to its geometric to help the human kind in a powerful way,preps forever i didn't flunk the mathematics assesses because it.

The russian accent of the teacher is a candy for the ears i love it
I thought it was Italian accent
she's Italian
This sounds like a good idea for emergency shelters, but I don't think we should be replacing bricks and morter or steel and concrete with flimsy origami any time soon.
They're selling us that it's the first use of origami in construction. Lol.
It's obscure to me how you would fully collapse a structure pneumatically in space. Magnetically or electrostatically, sure, but then that's not the same invention.
Ah, unless there are three layers, d'uh.
I don't see. Surely you would collapse it the normal way, by opening a valve and letting the pressure inside push out the air. There would be an even greater pressure difference due to the vacuum of space as well, so it should be even easier. I also do not see how the number of layers makes any difference. What am I missing? Not an engineer, just an interested layman.
The only problem I can see with that is that it might waste air. But that doesn't make the idea impossible, just not a good idea.
The seven dislikes are the ones with very few (origami) folds in the brain!!
this is good
Narrated by Marnie Chesterton? Sounds like it. Apologies if I'm wrong
5:33 "Produced and narrated by Ellie Mackay"
I'll take that as a huge compliment! I love Marnie Chesterton! 🤓😁
@@robertskitch Thanks Robert. (Lesson to self: Look harder!)
@@ellieworldwide764 Phew! No humans were harmed in the making of the comment. Am still sorry for the mistake, but glad there's respect (no doubt mutual : )
Who is Marnie Chesterton?
Now make one the size of a 2 story house.
Okay so how is the tent project going?
- umm.. well.. we didn't work much on it but we got these cool ass origami figures
Did you just waste several months and thousands of dollars on origami figures?
- I know it sounds bad right but we got a plan, lets build houses from this
No way they will bu..
- Chill chill, we look smart, they will belive us
OK where and to whom do I send my money?
💙 Thanks 💙

How is this better than a tent?
The idea is good but sadly it is a failed design caz it required electric power to setup.
I used to think the world was scale independent, until I learned about dimensionless numbers. It's still kind of a bummer.
