I have developed a prototype who uses a three point slackline-bungee cord-bamboo icosahedron to provide a flexible and scalable kind of trampoline.
Me and a fellow were allowed to build and test the construction for a few days in an old cooling tower to test the flexibility and mobility of the base system.
For the prototype a combination of 42 bungee cords, 400 m webbing and a bamboo icosahedron (2 m diameter) structure in the centre of the cooling tower was used.
The base setup is influenced by the knowledge and equipment used in highline/ slackline systems. The trampoline effect is produced by simple body centering displacements inside the bamboo cage .
