Abstract[English]
A vehicle constructed using tensegrity principles in the design of the structural member of a skin-on- frame assembly, being composed of non-contiguous compressive elements and complementary tensile elements whose opposing forces result in a lightweight, stress dispersing and self-organizing geometry at equilibrium. The modularity of the compressive and tensile elements, the propulsion methods and the directional controls allows for conversion between land- and water-borne modes of conveyance, as well as simple folding and disassembly of the vehicle for storage and transportation.[French]
L'invention concerne un véhicule construit à l'aide de principes de tenségrité dans la conception de l'élément structural d'un ensemble peau-sur-cadre, qui est composé d'éléments de compression non contigus et d'éléments de traction complémentaires dont les forces opposées se traduisent par une géométrie légère, de dispersion de contrainte et d'auto-organisation à l'équilibre. La modularité des éléments de compression et de traction, des procédés de propulsion et des commandes directionnelles permet une conversion entre des modes de transport par voie terrestre et hydrique, ainsi qu'un simple pliage et un démontage du véhicule pour le stockage et le transport.
