Dome Projection

Domes - cover

Domes - frames

Friday, July 22, 2005 #

The tent is finished, at last! The whole thing is really quite big and unwieldy (about 4.5 m long), but all folded up and stuffed into a bag it is easy enough for one person to carry. The black vinyl anti-draft skirts that I added around the bottom add a few kilo's; I estimate that the total weight is about 20 kg now (excluding the 30 kg for the dome frame).

There is no time left to do a trial set-up of the dome, so I'll just take it to WhatTheHack and hope for the best. It looks like it is going to rain at least some of the time so that will be a nice test, too. If everything goes right, I'll be able to write my next post from the comfort of my very own geodesic dome tent!
