ABSTRACT:
Fractal hollow tube reinforced structural members are presented having a maximum strength-to-weight ratio and a wall density less than 1/2 that of water, which are versatile, practical and economical for use in any kind of construction. The strength is maximized by introducing a high degree of order down to the atomic scale to the walls of the hollow structures, while the mass and thickness of these walls is minimized. The wall density is further reduced by including microspheres in the walls, mesh spaces and bonding substances which minimizes the total mass of bonding agent that uselessly occupies the dead spaces of the meshes and coils of the fibers and tubes. Strength and thermal tolerance are further enhanced by building the tube walls out of hollow carbon or titanium fibers and buckyball microspheres. These fractal structural members will greatly improve the fuel efficiency of any craft supported by them and will make possible crafts and structures never possible before.
