Geodesic Dome using pre-casted panels of Magnesium-Phosphate ceramic cement connected with a plurality of hubs.

Abstract

A Geodesic Dome made of triangular panels pre-casted with Magnesium Phosphate ceramic cement is described. Said triangular panels consist of multiple layers of Magnesium Phosphate ceramic cement poured into a mold with successive layers at various levels of porosity, reinforced with basalt and hemp fibers. A plurality of hubs joins a plurality of triangular panels at specific dihedral angles to enclose space. The hubs are bolted into a threaded sleeve that is embedded into the corner of each triangular panel, thus creating a Geodesic Dome.
