    Fuller was a terribly smart, if not terribly cooperative guy.


    The Dymaxion, however? By any measure, it sucked weasel fur.


    Furthermore, the fact that Fuller steadfastly refused to address the design's faults, clinging instead to his original design "advancements" even after they were proven not to work makes him look somewhat less than rational. Oh, he also spent an entire year talking to no one but his infant daughter.


    So, yea -- nutcase.

    Isn't there one of these at Henry Ford Museum? I might have to go this weekend to check it out. And to see Rock Stars Cars and Guitars 2.


    If I ever build a weird, futuristic car it will be the Climaxion and will have beds for 11.

    Yes, but what about Orosz and his modernist portrayals of events in a certain automotive racing series using crayons as a medium to demonstrate the utter simplicity of the human essence?

    Visionary? That Dymaxion seems to me more like an ill-conceived than a visionary design. But then again when you mess up some technical design you can always call it an art.

    @OG_: I'm sure that a three-wheeled car with a mid engine and rear wheel steering is plenty stable at 120 mph.
