Polylink configurations as intersection of lines extending from edge transformations. These are shown as extensions of models of rotated edges of Octahedron and Icosahedron, as described Here and Here
First model shows 4 equilateral triangles. All of these polylinks are chiral, a second series of opposite handed versions are possible.
A 3D design created in vZome. Use your mouse or touch to interact.
This shows 10 interlinked triangles.
A five tetrahedron interlink.
Six interlinked pentagons.
Six interlinked pentagrams.
These polylink models are shown here as intersecting lines, but can be constructed with rods that pass by each other and are coupled together by some form of tension bonds. This is an example of such an arrangement. In structures like this, there are typically two variants, one just “before” the rods would intersect, and one just “after.”
