GENERALISATION

of the coordinates of Brueckner 22-11 (6-14)

Applicable to compounds of 6{3,3} and 12{3,3} [ S4A4 and S4*I] with one degree of freedom

R. Webb has pointed out that Brueckner 22-11 (6-14) is a compound of 12 tetrahedra having following coordinates:
X    =    (    3    +    sqrt ( 3 )    )    /    6
Y    =    (    3    -    sqrt ( 3 )    )    /    6
Z    =    sqrt ( 3)    /    3

R calculated from the coordinates    X,    Y    , Z    :
( (3 + sqrt (3) ) / 6 ) ^ 2    +    ( ( 3 - sqrt ( 3 ) ) / 6 ) ^ 2    +    ( ( sqrt ( 3 ) / 3 ) ^ 2    =    1    ( R = 1 )

New value for R :
( 3 + sqrt ( 3 ) ) ^ 2    +    ( 3 - sqrt ( 3 ) ) ^ 2    +    ( 2 * ( sqrt (3 ) ) ^ 2    =    36    ( R = 6 )    [1]

Arc corresponding to the degree of freedom :
Atan (alpha)    =    Y / X

Z = 2 * sqrt(3)


= Section A : First solution =


Putting    3=m    and    sqrt(3)=n    in [1]    we have :
( m + n ) ^ 2    +    ( m - n ) ^ 2    +    12    =    36
2 * (m ^ 2    +    n ^ 2 )    =    24
m ^ 2    +    n ^ 2    =    12

12    can be split up in this way:

m ^ 2	n ^ 2	X = m + n	Y = m -n	Alpha	Name
6	6	2 * sqrt(6)	0	A =   0.000 000°	Compound    A

9	3	3 + sqrt(3)	3 - sqrt(3)	C = 15.000 000°	Compound    C
10	2	sqrt(10) + sqrt(2)	sqrt(10) - sqrt(2)	D = 20.905 157°	Compound    D
11	1	sqrt(11) + 1	sqrt(11) - 1	28.221 345°	Compound
12	0	2 * sqrt(3)	2 * sqrt(3)	I =   45.000 000°	Compound    I

= Section B : Second Solution =


Putting    3 + sqrt ( 3 ) = m    and    3 - sqrt ( 3 ) = n    in [1]    we have :
m ^ 2    +    n ^ 2    +    12    =    36
m ^ 2    +    n ^ 2    =    24

24    can be split up in this way:

m ^ 2	n ^ 2	X = m	Y = n	Alpha	Name
24	0	2 * sqrt(6)	0	A =   0.000 000°	Compound    A
22	2	sqrt(22)	sqrt(2)	16.778 655°	Compound
20	4	2 * sqrt(5)	2	F =  24.094 843°	Compound    F
18	6	3 * sqrt(2)	sqrt(6)	G = 30.000 000°	Compound    G
16	8	4	2 * sqrt(2)	H = 35.264 390°	Compound    H
14	10	sqrt(14)	sqrt(10)	40.202 966°	Compound
12	12	2 * sqrt(3)	2 * sqrt(3)	I =   45.000 000°	Compound    I

Calculation of the arc corresponding to the degree of freedom :

Atan ( alpha ) = Y / X

If    alpha = 22.5°    then Y / X    =    sqrt ( 2 ) - 1    [1]
We have    :    X ^ 2    +    Y ^ 2    =    24               [2]

From [1] and [2] we deduce :
X    =    sqrt ( 6 * ( 2 + sqrt ( 2 ) )    =    4. 526 066 877
Y    =    sqrt ( 6 * ( 2 - sqrt ( 2 ) )    =    1. 874 758 285


From Section A, B and C we deduce the following table:
