In the interest of seeing some actual progress I'll give you the benefit of my ~~35 seconds of googling~~ extensive years of research

Rather than drilling holes in your shelf sit your ~~plant pot~~ misting vessel on the shelf with some fabric stretched over the top. Your ~~plant pot~~ misting vessel will need a drain and a misting/spray nozzle inside.

I don't know anything about aeroponics, but it sounds like tech bros 'disrupting' farming. What's wrong with good ole fashioned dirt? What's the supposed advantage of aeroponics vs hydroponics vs dirt?

Sounds like another question that can only be answered by extensive years of research.

The whole interior wall as a chimney/radiator, that's a logical conclusion of the contemporary design, always neat to see something like that.

Have you plugged any numbers into the dome generator calculators?

This 6v dome calculator shows a 20m diameter dome requires triangular panes over 2m a side.

Basically domes this big are monstrous constructions.

Yes I've seen domeramas' expired certificate site.

It's endearingly Geocities isn't it.

I leaned more toward a 4/9 3v when I started thinking about this. If the windows wind up needing to be huge, I'll frame smaller triangle shapes together to fit. The glass doesn't need to be one constant piece, and will likely be leftover greenhouse poo poo anyhow.

Kicks, I was thinking 2x6 or 2x8 timber for the frame. It's just more cost effective than ordering a steel kit, especially if I wind up just using thin, flexible plastic poo poo for the windows. And yeah, it's cold and dry enough there that it's likely a good enough choice.

Triangular frames 4.4/4.2m per side. Even subdivided you'll need those 4.2/4.4m lengths as single pieces for strength I guess, unless they're all doubled or tripled up. Kind of feels like the higher v domes make more sense the larger you go, but I'm not a professional dome-guy.

E: there's also that new transparent wood that's in development.

Haha lol no. Wood treated and bleached then infused with clear resin, plastic or glass would be better/cheaper/infinitely easier to get.

I mean that's what that 'clear wood' was, if I understood it correctly. Bleached 1mm thick wood with hydrogen peroxide, then treated with clear epoxy. It's basically fiberglass with lignin instead of glass fibers.

Yeah sorry, I punctuated that poorly:
