Talk:Hoberman sphere

Can the hoberman sphere be use for other applications?

Updates?

I work at Liberty Science Center and was told that, as an employee, I shouldn't make changes to content regarding my employer. Having said that, some of the information in this article is out of date. I was hoping someone could change parts of it to make it something like the following:

"Original page declared: The largest existing Hoberman sphere is in the atrium of Liberty Science Center in Jersey City, New Jersey. Fully expanded, it is 18 feet (5.5 m) in diameter. The motorized sphere weighs 700 pounds (320 kg), is constructed of stainless steel and aluminium, and continually oscillates between its compact and expanded states.

The sphere is suspended above the Center's Science Court, and is actuated with a computer-based motion control system. This system opens and closes the sphere in a programmed series of lyrical motions choreographed to music, lighting and special effects. - source: http://www.philipvaughan.net/public.html" Its inventor, Chuck Hoberman, holds several patents on folding techniques, many of which resemble the designs of Buckminster Fuller but for the folding aspect."

If someone could help out, we'd appreciate it!
