Geodesic Division of Icosahadron • Class I Tessellation Grid • Model revised, 15 September, 2010 • Methods 1 & 2 described in 'Domebook 2' • Method 'repulsion' vertices are 'optimized' on the surface of the sphere, using an electron-charge repulsion algorithm (search online for 'Thomson problem') • Method 'Mexican' is attributed to Professor Hector Hernandez, University of Sonora • Frequencies 1 & 2 are the same for all methods • Frequency 3, 'Mexican' is the same as frequency 3, method 2 • Class I division is also referred to as 'alternate' division • Spheres are 1-foot radius • Use 'scale' tool to increase to dome size desired • Center guidepoint added to each sphere • See cross-reference model, 'Geodesic Catalog - Tessellation' for definition and derivation of classes: #Buckminster #Bucky #dome #Fuller #geodesic #geodesic_dome #icosahedron #polyhedra #polyhedron
