NOTE: EarthBall HOMES and GREEN-HOUSES are NOT a

THEY ARE SPHEREs with FLOATS AROUND the five ( 5 ) (
Pentagons ) SIDES. The
FLOATS adds

NOTE: more pics and in-depth how
to build your own E.B. costs 4 materials, etc... coming soon...
NEW: Oct 26, 2009
HOW TO BUILD YOUR (12 Foot in diameter-
EARTH BALL (E.B.)) - HOME and/or GREENHOUSE
The E.B. is made up of 20 Hexagons and
12 pentagons.
NOTE: The longer the Struts... the
bigger the E.B. (the Struts will all be the same length no matter what size E.B.
you build. (example a Big 20 ft. or small 6 ft.E.B.)
1. 90 - Struts are needed to build one
- 11 foot / 7 in. EarthBall - As shown at EarthBall.org using 2 X 4 lumber and
plywood. The more accurate you cut these Struts / the easer, tighter and better
your E.B. will go together.
NOTE: Treated 2 X 4s and plywood for all
wood 1 foot above and all material below the waterline. With an 1/8 in or
thicker fiberglass coating below water line and if you want a thinner coat of
fiberglass all over the ball.
The 12 foot E.B. is in fact 11 foot / 7
inch in diameter, This Earth Ball size is used to take full advantage of 4 foot
by 8 foot standard building materials of your choosing to create your E.B.. We
used 3/4 to 1/2 in. plywood. (treated for water use) 1. You will need 90 struts
to create an EarthBall
2. All 90 Struts are 27 and 1/2 in. long
( from long point to long point )
3. The (End Cuts) of ALL STRUTS - ANGLE
on both ENDs of the struts are 12 degrees.
3.5 The length between the 2 longest
points of the Struts is 27 1/2 in. to make your (12 foot E.B.) ( IT IS IN FACT -
11 foot 7 in in diameter)
4. The EDGE Inside Angle of all the
Pentagons are 36 Degrees.
5. The Inside Angle of all the Hexagons
are 30 Degrees.
NOTE: This means that of the 90 TOTAL...
Struts needed to build the basic frame of your E.B.
NOTE: 30 Struts will be the Hexagon
angles ( 30 degrees ) on both edges
NOTE: 60 of your Struts will be 30
degrees HEXAGON Angle ON ONE SIDE
AND... 36 Degree PENTAGON Angle on the
other side.
SUGGESTION,
SEE PICTURES. at
www.EarthBall.org web
site.
You may want to work this out with
smaller sticks to make sure you have it right.. BEFORE you start cutting your 2
X 4 X 27 1/2 / with 30 degree and 36 degree angle on your (Real) STRUTS.
We paid about $100.00 for a large box
(25 lb.) of 3 in. # 8 galvanized, exterior, screws and was enough to screw
together the whole frame using 6 to 12 screws per 3 STRUT CONNECTION. You will
feel how many screws you need per connection... depending on what kind of glue
you use to help secure your struts.
NOTE: Once you have plywood covering the
whole E.B. with fiberglass or some other waterproofing, the Earth Ball will
become... very, very strong and waterproof.
NOTE: We suggest that all EarthBall
Homes and Greenhouses be put together as described above. Thus your E.B. will
FLOAT in case of a FLOOD or you decide to use it and /or move it to live on or
travel with your E.B. Home and Greenhouse on water.
This does not take a Rocket Scientist to
create an E.B. We suggest you get a few like minded Earth Citizens together and
work together building one for each E.C. The E.B. we built... pics at
EarthBall.org was put together in 6 months at a cost of about...
A. 90 Struts, Cut, Screwed together
Creating our E.B. FRAME about $ 500.00
B. Covering the E.B. with plywood... 3/4
in. plywood one foot above and below water line, and 5/8 and 1/2 in. as we
worked up to the top. Depends on what you are going to use it for.
C. Please keep track and make public
your innovations, ideas, plans, with pictures of your progress so that we can
share all this information with our Brother and Sister, Earth Citizens all
around OUR Earth.
Good luck,
Peace, Love and Later,
Roger
