Klyp Styx is an application of my patented invention. It is a construction system in which sticks are connected together. There are many variations in how the sticks are connected. The primary connection is the joining of many ends together forming an elegant, flexible joint. With this joint (and othe types of connections) one can build many wonderfull structures.

I am trying to market Klyp Styx. It is my million dollar idea! Klyp Styx has aplication in many feilds from nano technology to the building of the largest structures in the world, or on the moon, or floating around in deep space. Tenting, architecture, education, space frames, etc., can all be built with the Klyp Styx Systym, or at least modeled with it.

I have been presenting Klyp Styx as a construction toy and educational tool. It competes with the magnetic stick toys like Magnetix, as well as Zoom System, the Hoberman Sphere, and K-Nex. My system is easier to use and much more versitile then all the other sytems on the market. (I wonder how the magnetic connection system will fair in light on Mattel’s recall of its magnetic toys.)

I have completed prototyping and I am ready to move on to manufacturing, packaging, and marketing. I would love to present Klyp Styx at the Toy Fair in New York City in February. Would you like to help?

With my Klyp Styx Systym, I have built a 90 piece floating compression (A structure where the compression supporting members are suspended in a tensile network, so that they never touch each other.) with the symmetry of the truncated icosahedron.  The truncated icosahedron ( the fimiliar pattern of a soccer ball) is spherical enough that it behaves like a sloppy ball, very similar to a drop of water.  And with Klyp Styx I can change the tension of the elastic network and explore many surface tension effects .

I have invented the slickest, quickest system for building polyhedra and other geometric structures.  With this system I have created many structures that I believe are original.   I call the system The Klyp Styx Systym (pronounced “clip sticks”). 

Klyp Styx was first designed to make tensegeties but over the years I have found wayes of making many other types of structures.  I now make rigid and dynamic structures.  The dynamic ones can fold, or expand or even pop up out of thin air.

 These things interest me and I would like to discuss them with like minded people.
