Johnson Solids

Johnson did a complete study of all convex solids built using just edges of equal length, and regular polygonal faces. All such objects have been found and those not mentioned above have been logically named, and given a 'J' index number.

Johnson Solids Index (text)

Johnson solids are named by taking the various Platonic and Archimedian Solids, and performing various operations on them, including...

• Cutting the solid into parts along co-planar edges (cutting off cupolas, and leaving a diminished object)
• Twisting the object along co-planar edges (gyro-rotation)
• Inserting a layer of squares (elongation) or triangles (gyro-elongation) along co-planar edges.
• Adding pyramids onto faces, (augmentation) if it remains convex.
• joining various cupolas together in various ways

And so on. Also includes are the two remaining semi-regular pyramids, and bi-pyramids, though not prisms, or anti-prisms (gyro-prisms) of which their are an infinite number. He also found some extremely weird looking objects, that are really impossible to describe.

Note that duals, and di-pyramids (or dual-prisms) are not part of this series as the edges of these objects are not all of equal length, or have irregular polygonal faces.
