The Octahedron,
Tetrahedron
and Cube Part 2
The Tetra Duals with a reflective translucent covering:
By adding the interior Octahedron and exterior Cube struts, a strong triple
pyramid structure is made. In fact this structure has at least 22 inter-connected
pyramids:
It might be a structural unit in a modular system such as the Octa-Tetra
Truss, or remove the interior Octa for space inside to move around. Thr
result is the "Tetra Hut" and with in-centers of Cube faces pushed out,
the Tetra-Dome and Octa-Zome.
Tetra-Hut, with subdivision struts and roof cap taken from the Tetra-Dome:

The Octa, Tetra, Tetra Duals, Cube and combined OTC Pyramid Truss Unit
can be constructed with our Connector Hubs using the Connector Kit or Frame
Kit where we supply all the precut boards. The illustrations show a 2 x 4
structure made with standard 8 ft boards as the Cube edges. It can be made
from 1 x 2 to 2 x 6 boards any practical size (a maximum size might be made
with 12 ft boards). The first 3 of 5 Platonic solids are thus demonstrated.
The remaining Icosahedron and Dodecahedron solids are also duals that make
another unique inter-connected structure.
The Tetra Duals make a tabletop support - see
