Infinite
series of rhombic dodecahedra: Ratio 1 / Ö2
The
long rhomb diagonal of the smallest yellow rhombic dodecahedra constitutes the
short diagonal of the larger gray rhombic dodecahedron. The long and the short
diagonals coincide when the two rhombic dodecahedra are attached . Analogously
the same relation holds for the larger green and the blue rhombic dodecahedra.
The diagonals of the rhombi are in the ratio of 1 / Ö 2, acc. to Johannes Kepler. The angles of the rhombi are
70 31´ 44´´
where four edges meet in the vertex and 109 28´ 16´´ where three edges meet in
the vertex. When the rhombic dodecahedra are attached, the two kinds of
vertices coincide.
Such a series can continue in infinity
