Non-standard domes

Mobile planetariums

In this section we introduce to you examples of mobile (portable) planetariums with special constructions. Mostly those models are intended to operate in open space or for universal use. Here are the main technological features of the mobile planetariums, designed for outdoor installation:

Obligatory gateway entrance / exit and escape routes
Gateway systems may vary in design and quantity in different models.
Simultaneous operation of multiple fans and the availability of standby generators
Depending on the size and operating conditions, inflatable domes can be supplied with different amounts of blowers and the backup air supply system. Reserve system of mobile planetarium can also differ by existing automation, additional generator or additional blowers.
Main blower for the air supply can be additionally equipped with speed variator, which allows rapid the blow of air to a minimum.
Necessity of mounting on the ground
Wind loads arising during the operation of domes in the street, dictate the necessity to fixing them on the ground.
The main methods of fixing:
The principal differences between fixing circuits associated with mobile or stationary operation of our digital planetarium (cinema).

If we talk about fixed installation so it is clear. You can use any standard method of installation: the capital foundation with anchors or external weights. For the mobile planetarium, we offer original removable "foundation." This method of connecting was first developed by our company specifically for the seven-meter model of a portable planetarium and well-proved itself.

This method does not require direct connection to the ground and allows without "anchors" to establish and operate an inflatable dome on any surface and with any wind loads, up to a storm warning. This is especially actual in urban areas where usually is not allowed to use anchor and other type of fixing.

Inflatable universal planetarium dome (Multi-Sphere)

The diameter of the dome is 6.0 m.
This model has two-layered dome. Internal – opaque, black outsid, bright inside – allows to use inflatable structure as a classic planetarium or theater.
External dome – white – allow the projection. That’s the way the inflatable structure is transformed into a bright, luminous ball which can be used for the original design for festival, promotional or other events. For more information about this class of inflatable structures, see "Multi-Sphere"
Input constructions - enclosures and doors are made fully inflatable, without a rigid frames, which makes the model compact, easy to transport and easy to install.
Inflatable specially designed dome "Kettle"

Production technology of inflatable structures provides a unique opportunity to create not only classical round domes, but also any original form.
The first, already implemented idea became an inflatable dome "Kettle" for our regular customers - a tea company Orimi Trade.
Inflatable planetarium dome for outdoor use
This dome is a structure based on the classic "Multi-Sphere" dome.
The mobile planetarium for outdoor use
