Wonderful, thank you - so when I said that I have a really weird design idea ;;
-
The best arch for dividing a sphere is a hexagon.
The idea for dimpling comes from the honeycomb sandwich design patterns we have for use in structurally solid airplane components, coupled with a micro design for stem-cell research from someone from University of San Francisco....
She was building a micro printed 'injector' where she would inject proteins to various stem cell pods.
She would then measure the various cells to see how she could get them to express in a desired outcome....
The hex is from some top secret shit I saw back in the day...
SO... I am thinking that one can util the hex layout and by slurping/pumping vacuum or hyrdo, one can manipulate the dimples on an interface.. on a toroidal propeller in water, pressure is equalized in a certain way to allow live dynamic prop deformations....
In a helo blade it has to be gas activated. but the material overlay has to be able to handle millions of deformations on an individual cell or a neighborhood of cells to reduce piping.
leading edge bumps inflate on way out and release to tailing edge bumps on exit...
