Bracing Meccano Maths
Built by Luka Kralj-Taylor in January 2023
Exploring the combining of Meccano strips to form bracing, as described in the paper Meccano Math I written by Gerard ’d Hooft at the Institute for Theoretical Physics, Utrecht University, and Spinoza Institute.
These are the ratios I used:
- A, B, C
- 1, 2√2, 3
- 1, 12√2, 17
- √2, √2, 2
- √2, 7√2, 10
- 1, 1, √2
- 1, 7, 5√2
If any of you can come up with practical applications for these I would be very curious to learn more.
