Abstract
A ball may include a spherical shell, and apertures defined in the spherical shell. The apertures may be formed in the spherical shell based at least in part on a N-frequency tessellation of the spherical shell. A method of forming a ball may include molding a first hemisphere, molding a second hemisphere, and coupling the first hemisphere to the second hemisphere to form a spherical shell. The spherical shell may include apertures defined in the spherical shell based at least in part on a N-frequency tessellation of the spherical shell.
Claims20
A ball comprising:
- a spherical shell;
- first apertures formed in the spherical shell, individual apertures of the first apertures being formed in the spherical shell at an intersection of first lines, the first lines including a first length;
- and
- second apertures formed in the spherical shell, individual apertures of the second apertures being formed in the spherical shell at an intersection of second lines, the second lines including a second length that is different than the first length.

A ball comprising:
- a hollow sphere;
- and
- apertures formed in the hollow sphere based at least in part on a N-frequency tessellation of the hollow sphere, the apertures being disposed at an intersection of line segments that form the N-frequency tessellation, the line segments including at least:
- a first line segment having a first length, and
- a second line segment having a second length different than the first length.
