A Compound of the Small and Great Stellated Dodecahedra

Posted on by

I made these compounds using Stella 4d, which you can try for free at http;//www.software3d.com/Stella.php.

  1. Stumbled across your site when looking for tessellations.

    You have a typo in the link to Stella. Just ‘,com’–>’.com’ needed.

    If you want to add an extra dimension of fun, I think your Order-Six Radial Tessellation from July 2015 (or similar) could have useful application in the field of RF reflectarrays.

    If you are not familiar, RF reflectarrays use an expanding phase taper of reflective elements on a planar structure to emulate the behavior of a curved reflector. As such, they can be electrically scanned rather than having to be mechanically pointed, within limits.

    I am keen on trying to apply reflectarrays to some very large scale sensor networks. Cost is a factor, as is manufacturability. So, a modular solution with reduction of the number of unique “tile” designs is of interest.

    I can send you technical references if you are interested. I think that a neat project could be tracking of satellites. Maybe a Starlink tracker or something.

    Anyways, nice blog.
