The geodesic dome was invented in the late 1940's

NONE!!!!!

A Geodesic Dome is a self supporting dome made up of interlocking hexagons and pentagons.

The 'big ball' at Epcot in Orlando Florida, is a Geodesic sphere. The old dome-like playground equipment is based on the same structure as a geodesic dome. I've posted a couple of links about geodesic domes with some pictures.

The basic concept of a geodesic dome is very simple. It is composed of a series of triangles, and the triangle is a rigid shape. That's why the dome stays up.

The largest geodesic dome is the Fantasy Entertainment Complex and is located in Kyosho Isle, Japan. It stands at 710 feet.

Basketball is played with a ball constructed of panels similar to a geodesic dome.

A monolithic is better than a geodesic dome home. A monolithic dome home is more cost effective and energy efficient. It can also withstand disasters better.

A geodesic dome is a spherical or partial - spherical shell structure or lattice shell based on a network of great circles on the surface of a sphere.

R. Buckminster Fuller is credited with developing and naming the 'Geodesic' dome in the late 1940's, however the first true geodesic dome was designed by Walther Bauersfeld and built on the roof of the Zeiss optical company building in 1922, in Jena, Germany.

A geodesic dome is a shell that is made of a lot of small triangles (typically) and is shaped like a sphere.

(for more information on this, please go to the wikipedia article, thanks.)

A geodesic dome is made up of many triangles and very strong.

That would be Bucky Fuller.

Bucky Fuller invented the Geodesic Dome

The first geodesic dome was designed by American architect, engineer, and inventor R. Buckminster Fuller in the 20th century. Fuller's dome structures are characterized by their efficient use of materials and ability to enclose large spaces without the need for internal supports.

The answer varies depending on the exact type of geodesic dome you are using. A 2 frequency and 4 frequency geodesic domes use 20 equilateral triangles despite the two-frequency having many more faces than the 2 frequency where the 3 frequency geodesic dome (150 sided) uses none at all. The above calculations, however, are only common to a certain architectural model. Assuming the domes are built mathematically instead of according to architectural integrity, the number of equilateral triangles in a "pure" dome, a geodesic sphere, is exactly equal to the number of faces, by definition.

Geodesic domes are used by individuals, communities, and organizations for various purposes such as greenhouses, event spaces, disaster relief shelters, and even homes. They are valued for their strength, energy efficiency, and unique design.

Look on the net for John Rich.

The Montreal Biosphere geodesic dome was built to impress Princess Margaret of Britain during Expo 67, a World's Fair held in Montreal, Canada. Designed by Buckminster Fuller, the dome has since become an iconic symbol of both the event and the city.

Review the following website: http://hilaroad.com/camp/projects/dome/dome.html

C60 is called buckminsterfullerene because its molecular structure is similar to the geodesic dome designs created by architect Buckminster Fuller. The molecule consists of 60 carbon atoms arranged in a spherical shape with hexagonal and pentagonal rings, resembling the structure of a geodesic dome.

1. The Montreal Biosphere in Canada, originally built for Expo 67, is a renowned geodesic dome designed by Buckminster Fuller.
2. The Eden Project Biomes in the United Kingdom feature iconic geodesic domes housing diverse plant species from around the world.
3. The Spaceship Earth attraction at EPCOT in Florida is another notable geodesic dome structure designed by Disney Imagineers based on Fuller's principles.

It has been designed so that it can save the environment by using energy efficiant homes.

Buckyballs

It's not a giant golf ball it's a Icosahedron or a geodesic dome.

The geodesic dome was created in the United States by architect Buckminster Fuller in the 20th century. Fuller patented his design in 1954 and it has since been used worldwide in various structures due to its strength and efficiency.

Pure carbon fullerenes have a spherical shape, often resembling a soccer ball or geodesic dome. They are made up of interconnected carbon atoms arranged in hexagonal and pentagonal patterns, creating a cage-like structure.

A geodesic dome is a spherical structure made up of interconnected triangles, creating a strong and stable shape. A space frame is a three-dimensional structural framework assembled from linear elements in a geometric pattern. While both are used for structural support, geodesic domes have a distinctive curved shape, while space frames typically have a more angular and open design.

No, the strongest shape under gravity condition is the catenary dome.

The strongest shape under pressure ( earth sheltered or water ) would be a sphere. Or an hemisphere. Which is still a way stronger than a geodesic.

The geodesic has potential link for failure in each connections.

It's might be easier to set up than a perfect hemisphere, but seriously, did you already see a geodesic dome in nature ?

You might want to check ferrocement / monolithic domes if strength it the first issue.

A buckyball is a short form of buckminsterfullerene. This is a form of Carbon C60 that has a molecular shape like a geodesic dome.

You may try looking on all of the sites on "Buckminster Fuller" or "bucky balls". Buckminster was the originator of the geodesic dome. There might be some valid information connected with his name. I've built a couple of geodesic domes and in both cases, had them roofed by a roofing contractor who specializes in geo-dome roofing. He travels throughout the US and Canada roofing new domes and replacing roofs on those that were poorly done by others. Putting roofing on a geodesic dome, while not terribly complicated, is a little different than roofing traditionally pitched roofs with the occasional hip or valley or ridge or pitch change. The pentagons of a dome are constructed of triangles, each meeting the adjoining triangle on a different plane, creating a network of hips. To roof these effectively requires attention to detail and knowing to lace each course of shingles on each triangle well onto it's neighbor. I, personally, would be reluctant to roof a geodesic dome as a DIY project, and I've done quite a bit of roofing over the years.

The geometric shape that starts with the letter "G" is a "geodesic dome." A geodesic dome is a spherical structure composed of a network of geometric shapes called geodesic polyhedra. These polyhedra are typically triangles or other polygons that are arranged to form a dome-like structure. Geodesic domes are known for their strength and efficiency in distributing stress across the structure.

If you mean fullerene- these are allotropic forms of carbon on the form of speheres and tubes. Named for R. Buckminster Fuller (architect) who designed a geodesic dome and the first fullerene discovered C60 cluster looked a lot like a geodesic structure.

Those are known as buckminsterfullerene or buckyballs, which are a type of fullerene molecule. They consist of 60 carbon atoms arranged in a hollow sphere resembling a geodesic dome, with a structure resembling the geodesic dome designed by architect Buckminster Fuller, hence the name. Buckyballs have unique properties and are a subject of scientific research for various applications.

Fullerenes are a form of carbon where the carbon atoms are arranged in a repeating pattern similar to a geodesic dome. These molecules can take shape in different forms such as buckyballs, nanotubes, or graphene, showcasing unique properties like high strength and conductivity.
