Abstract
In the era of globalization, mobility is inevitable for people who live in this society. People move around for various reasons. Therefore, as a backpacker, my travel experience is worthwhile to explore the possibility of a backpack becoming a tent. According to Newton's Law of Conservation of Mass, any object will not be born out of nothing - although the volume of the object itself can be compressed, it still has the same weight.There is a sufficient resource called air that exists on the surface of earth. Combining Lightweight fabrics with air, when it is inflated, its volume will enlarge; when it is deflated, it is compressed into a backpack. This approach not only consists with the law, but also practices the possibility of the deformation. It just uses the atmospheric resources to transform the state and make the best value.
The structure of the inflatable body: Through research and implementation, it was researched that the airbag extrusion and structural design made the fabric self-formed and stabilized. At the same time, the deformation is directional. Although the course is finished, better proportional relationships, materials, and design methods are still some points need to be improved. The development of inflatable structures is a powerful driving role to explore future construction. The practice in this stage will be very helpful to design and develop the project in the future.
