Friends and family say that I am addicted to Wikipedia (for some unknown reason). Thought I would make it official and let myself upload graphics too.

[edit] Geodesic weirdness

http://tekstaronline.com/monkeyhouse/geodesics/chordlength/

http://www.motherearthnews.com/arc/5284/

Spherical case

$d=\sqrt{2-2\{cos\theta_1cos\theta_2+cos(\phi_1-\phi_2)sin\theta_1sin\theta_2\}}$

General case

$d=\sqrt{r_1^2+r_2^2-2r_1r_2\{cos\theta_1cos\theta_2+cos(\phi_1-\phi_2)sin\theta_1sin\theta_2\}}$

$chord factor = 2sin \frac{\alpha}{2}$

strut length = chord factor x dome radius

Here are the equations used for the the icosahedron:

   f= frequency
   n= number of rows
   A= face angle
   All numbers are in degrees

$2 s i n - 1((s i n ((63.43494885 / f) * n)) * s i n A))$

63.43494885=central angle of an icosahedron

That was the equation for getting the geodesic. The chord factors are done from those by the following equation:

     Angle= v 2sin (v/2)
