- Tetrapods have cool symmetric shapes. I design one in Fusion 360 and then create a single-piece hinged mold to cast one out of plaster.

Fantastic video, explanation, and CAD work!
Very cool! Thanks for your work!
Really cool exploration.
Coming back to this...do you mind posting the measures you used, its hard to replicate as they are not visible...would be great TY
Coming back two years after the tetrapods have been planted. how is the erosion going in the herbs garden?
have you looked into KOLOS too? they are similar in shape
Oh no now you’ve taken me down a rabbit hole researching different wavebreak block shapes
Can you guess why the shape was chosen for coastal reinforcement?
Did they start out with balls but they kept rolling off the banks?
@@AkakiKuumeri Haha!
But in the same sense, in about 50 years they should have disappeared.
@@AkakiKuumeri From what I understand. They chose that shape for a few reasons.
1. As you said, they stack randomly.
2. The tide can pass through them with low resistance so that they can offer structure without effecting the coastal/tidal dynamics.
3. They function as a sieve that traps erosion and eventually creates sediment buildup in the installation. This will create a natural embankment.
The design is pretty awesome in that it looks at long term regeneration of coastal structure. These things are like skeletal structures for the coast to rebuild itself on.
There is some pretty cool tsunami mitigation that has been built in Chiba to reduce focal points. Massive concrete infrastructure that will eventually become natural.
It will be great if you could share the 3d design..

hii Akaki, i am from India. i want to buy this mould. can you deliver in India and how much is cost.?
😃 👍
hi Akaki, i am from India and i want this plastic mold.! please send one piece of mold through courier. i pay to you.
