Origins[]
Buckminster Fuller was an architect, futurist, inventor and author. He was known for coining terms like ‘synergetics’ and ‘Spaceship Earth’. He is most well remembered today as bringing to public and popularizing the geodesic dome. Later, carbon structures were discovered that they called fullerenes because they looked very similar to a geodesic dome. This is a model of one of his geodesic domes and was in a California attic before it came to light of agents.
Effects[]
The model is activated when it is rolled into, thrown into or nearby some large energy source. It will create one or more ‘bubbles’ that envelopes the energy source in a geodesic barrier from the outside. It will stay up for a period of two hours and will reactivate if there is still remaining energy. It not only contains the source but also drains it until it is powerless.
Trivia[]
- This was used with the 1977 NYC Blackout DJ Mixer to stop Benjamin Franklin's Keys and the Keys to the Tower of London during Spring Cleaning. The mixer was used to set off a surge of energy, while the model contained it and the artifacts. The electricity kept increasing beneath the energy shield until it burst outwards, neutralizing the mixer, model, keys and other artifacts, while getting rid of the mixer's downside.
