In this video, starting at 2:40, Dan shows Buckminster Fuller's Jitterbug Geometry and how it can have pressure put on two parallel triangles in a way that creates a very cool "bouncing twist motion," alternating the direction of the twist/spin each time it get squeezed.

This motion-geometry "contains" the geometry for the Cubeoctahedron, the icosahedron, the octahedron, the 4 sided pyramid, and the tetrahedron. Very impressive.

This is probably my favorite bit of knowledge about any geometry I have ever found. Enjoy.

If you want to try this at home and buy the cube-octahedron with bendable vertexes, the same kind which was used in the video, check out http://bfi.easystorecreator.com/items/toys-models/jitterbug-vector-flexor-402...
