The regular tetrahedron is the simplest of the Platonic solids. Belying this simplicity is the ability to combine with itself to generate a fascinating array of forms. This paper discusses the combinations of face bonded regular tetrahedra that produce a full range of non-regular helical shapes. 1. DEFINITIONS tetrahedron Polyhedron consisting of 6 edges, 4 vertices and 4 face bonded Relationship of tetrahedra to each other. bonded / unbonded Possible states of a tetrahedron's face. end tetrahedron One that has three unbonded faces. R, L, I Three possible directions available on an end tetrahe-enantiomorphism Left/right handedness. binary helix A sequence of two types of directional bonding. trinary helix A sequence of all three types...
