Who was R. Buckminster Fuller? by Dr. Graeme Edwards Early in his career, R. Buckminster Fuller, fondly known as "Bucky," was kicked out of Harvard University. Not once, but twice! Amazingly, by the end of his career - when he died in 1983 at the age of 88 - he had received 48 honorary degrees and doctorates. Although he had not "worked for a living" for 56 years, he was incredibly productive. He designed his life by living by a set of principles and self-discipline. Those principles can be summarized as " to recognize the value of each and every individual, and recognize the value of individuals who choose to work together." Bucky saw power in this because "together, we can be of greater service to our community." He observed that the greater number of people he chose to serve, the more effective he became. During his career, he wrote 22 books, many of which are still in print and available at libraries and bookstores. He was an adviser to a variety of governments, including the U.S., France, Brazil, China, India and Russia. More than that, Bucky was a friend to many: Mahatma Gandhi, John Denver (who wrote a song about Bucky called "What one man can do"), Albert Einstein and notable aviators Amelia Earhart and Sir Charles Kingsford Smith. Einstein felt that Bucky had a "true and intuitive understanding of his work." He marveled at Bucky's ability to turn this theory into practice. He once said, "Young man, you amaze me. I cannot conceive of anything I have ever done, having the slightest practical application." Bucky, while being a great thinker, was also a very practical man.

R. Buckminster Fuller's Octet Truss "Nature's simplest structural system in the universe is the tetrahedron. The regular tetrahedron does not fill all-space by itself. The octahedron and tetrahedron complement one another to fill all space. Together they produce the simplest, most powerful structural system in the universe . . . . Fuller suggested that the triangular panels shown below could be bolted together or held together by epoxy cement. Either way they wouldn't make good toys. My panels would make good toys. The importance of Toys Most carpenters, engineers, architects and other designers trained in their child hood using rectangular toys such as Legosô or Lincoln Logsô. As Fuller points out, other structural systems can have some advantages over the conventional rectangular. Designers do not use alternative structural systems as often as they might because they are less familiar with them. My toys would make future builders comfortable with other structural systems than the rectilinear we all know so well. Hop David Box 39 Ajo, Arizona 85321

Inventor, architect, engineer and utopian visionary, R. Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) was one of the century's most original thinkers. In 1927 Fuller designed the factory-assembled Dymaxion house, followed in 1928 by the three-wheeled Dymaxion car, for which Isamu Noguchi would sculpt a model. Fuller is most well-known for his later invention of the geodesic dome, and for his holistic proposals to solve the world's economic, social and ecological problems. Fuller's emphasis on the humanistic use of science and technology was a strong influence on the work of Isamu Noguchi, whom he met in 1929. That year Noguchi sculpted a chrome-plated head of Fuller, and they developed a close friendship that lasted until Fuller's death in 1983. Buckminster Fuller and Isamu Noguchi also shared a collaboration with architect Shoji Sadao, Executive Director of The Isamu Noguchi Foundation, Inc. , who started working with Fuller in the mid-Fifties (founding Fuller and Sadao, Inc. in 1960) and whose collaboration with Noguchi on the sculptor's landscape projects began in the early 1960s.

77. The R. Buckminster Fuller FAQ: Synergetics BTW, there is another philosophical essay by Derek A. Kelly ``The Philosophy of R. buckminster fuller in International Philosphical Quarterly 22(1982) http://www.netaxs.com/people/cjf/fuller-faq-2.html

Next Previous Contents 2. Synergetics In its broadest sense synergetics is Fuller's hypothesized coordinate system of Universe - both its physical and metaphysical aspects. Fuller's system of epistemography and mathematical-physics attempts to disclose how Nature actually operates - her ``operational mathematics.'' Fuller claimed that synergetics could be understood by children (though they probably couldn't comprehend his books on the subject). He published this material in his essay ``Omni-directional Halo'' (in No More Secondhand God Synergetics: Explorations in the Geometry of Thinking Synergetics 2: Further Explorations in the Geometry of Thinking , and Cosmography Cosmography is probably the easiest to read for people unfamiliar with Fuller's prose style. An ``interleaved'' version of Synergetics and Synergetics 2 is available on the Web at http://www.servtech.com/public/rwgray/synergetics/synergetics.html From my own study of synergetics, I'm convinced that Bucky did in fact identify the coordinate system used by Nature. But I would add the caveat that he didn't get too far along in developing it. Fuller points to what the coordinate system is in broad strokes. He gives many penetrating insights and new discoveries, but the synergetics coordinate system needs a lot more development before it will be possible to replace the current (and inherently unrealistic) XYZ coordinate model. Tip to students of synergetics: Build models. Ultimately, it is the only way to come to understand the material. See the section

Next Previous Contents 6. Miscellany 6.1 What are ``fullerenes'' and ``buckyballs?'' SCIENCE magazine voted buckminsterfullerene ``Molecule of the Year'' in 1991. [From Kenneth J. Fair.] The exciting part of the discovery of C60 molecules is that they are only the third naturally occurring form of carbon to be found (graphite and diamond of course being the first two). C60 was first isolated from graphite (I think) in 1985. As Paul Houle writes, C60 is formed in the shape of a geodesic sphere (like the panels of a soccer ball), hence the name ``buckminsterfullerene'' or ``buckyballs'' for short. Each carbon has three sp2 hybrid orbitals and the fourth electron of each carbon resides in a delocalized pi orbital that ranges over the entire ball (like benzene). The physical appearance of C60 is very much similar to graphite, as are some of its physical properties. C60, unlike graphite, can be dissolved in benzene to form a translucent amber solution. Other developments of buckyballs: 1) Radicalization - Besides just the pure C60 form, researchers at Rice have added hydrogen molecules to the carbon junctures to form molecules such as C60H36. Also, work is progressing on making C60 radical groupings (similar to benzene -> phenol). 2) Property measurement - Although many of the properties of C60 are known, most of the properties of its compounds are still hazy.
