Modular functional star-disc system
First Claim
1. A modular construction system for assembling structural units which comprises a plurality of modular discs, each of said plurality of modular discs comprising:
- a substantially circular base portion having an upper surface, a lower surface and a radius;
a star-shaped projection extending from the upper surface of the substantially circular base portion, said star-shaped projection having an upper surface and four inwardly curved side walls wherein the four inwardly curved side walls have a radius of curvature that is substantially equal to the radius of the substantially circular base portion; and
cooperating connecting structures provided on the lower surface of the substantially circular base portion and on the upper surface of the star-shaped projection which cooperating connecting structures allow for the plurality of modular discs to be connected to one another.

Abstract
A modular construction system that can be used to construct a variety of structural units including armor shields for vehicles or personnel, energy generating grids, thermal insulating or transmitting structures, acoustic insulating or reflecting structures, electromagnetic shields, etc. The modular construction system uses modular discs which are configured to be coupled or connected together to form or develop any desired structure. The modular discs include substantially circular base portions, star-shaped projections extending from the upper surface of the substantially circular base portion, and cooperating connecting structures that allow for the plurality of modular discs to be connected to one another.
