Expanding Geodesic Dome

A few months ago I discovered about Chuck Hoberman's Expanding Geodesic Dome on YouTube. Knowing the vast potential of these structures for practical application in the real world, this method of erecting the dome would be much faster. One of my own ideas would be to make it out of memory metals which could be flattened out or crumpled into a small ball, then to bring it back to its full form, just apply an electric current to it.



They should make an umbrella hat version of this :-P
