What does 3v mean in geodesic dome?
What does 3v mean in geodesic dome? A geodesic dome's frequency is commonly abbreviated as “v”. Thus, a 2-frequency dome is called 2v, 3-frequency is 3v, and so forth. Example: By dividing each side of a triangle by 2, we achieve a 2v dome – dividing each side of a triangle by 3, gives us a 3v dome.
What is the difference between 3 8 and 5 8 geodesic dome?
A 3/8 dome would be just less than a hemisphere, and a 5/8 dome would be just a little bigger than a hemisphere. Diameter/Radius - The diameter of a circle is the line straight across, through the center. This is how we usually measure the size of a dome or a sphere. A 10-meter dome is 10 meters across at the base.
