Tensegrity: Unlimited Frequency of Geodesic Tensegrities: (1)

"We have in the geodesic tensegrity the ability to assemble

unprecedentedly large clear-span structures whose overall

diameter dimensions are limited only by the relative alloyed

coherence of the associated metallic atoms therein involved,

whose improving coherences are in swiftly multiplying

metallurgical evolution augmentation. We can go therefore

into the same magnitudes of clear-spanning dimensions as

our largest suspension bridges. As these bridges demonstrate

the continually improving tensile capabilities of constantly

improving alloys, one could now be made twice the size of

the Golden Gate Bridge. We may, therefore, consider clear-span geodesic tensegrity spheres in the magnitude of two

miles diameter as now realizable for use as satellite environment controls; or as hemispherical, or other spherical segment,

Earth contacting enclosures (in which the Earth completes

the sphere) e.g., for arctic city environment controls or

as water floatable enclosures."LABORATORY APPEARS IN I & II, p. 170
