[PSUBS-MAILIST] Program

Sean,Do you know how many sections a DW hull has and what is the technical name for what I want to do.  I will ask EE if they will make the pieces. I think Dr Nuytten calls them woks?  I want to sound like I know what I am talking about :-)Hank

 That's just a construction. Any regular polydehron that fits in your sphere can be used as a guide. Nuytco uses a cubic projection, so if you imagine a cube where all of the vertices touch the sphere, the weld lines are the great circle routes between vertices.If two hemispheres don't work for you, the next lowest part count you can go to is four, corresponding to the tetrahedron projection.Sean

| Sean, do you have a program that will disect a sphere into equal sections like the DW. I am looking for a way to cut hemis into equal sections to create a new sphere. When we buy heads they have full cerumference dent caused from changing the dies. I am thinking about buying three heads to make one perfect sphere. |
