Re: Weight Saving Techniques
Study the design principles of Buckminster Fuller and mother nature.
Increase the ratio tension elements to compression elements.
Tension elements deliver force with way less mass required than compression & torque elemnets. Efficient and low mass design maintains a good balance between tension & compression elements.
