3D Printed Geopolymer, The Pyramids & Roman Construction | The 10,000 Year Home

At World of Concrete 2022 I got the opportunity to speak with the Geopolymer International team about a topic that I have been wanting to do a video on for a long time, Geopolymers! Everyone looks to geopolymers as an environmentally friendly alternative to concrete. Until now I really didn't have any understanding of how this silica based binder differers from the concrete other companies are using. Next week I will release a video touring their print facility with their founder and going into more detail on their printer and mixing equipment.

I've been waiting for someone to get into 3D printing geopolymers for a while. Thank you for sharing this! This is awesome!

[@nobreighner]

William Hoff is one of my favorite people at WOC. Totally passionate about geopolymer, and am endless source of unbiased information.

[@marekkucak6581]

I have always wondered how pyramids were build. Geopolymer would totaly explain that. Nice to see people excited about this technology.

[@jaffmoney1219]

The geopolymers were used more for repairs in the pyramids or to add support in joints. The stones used are definitely natural limestone and granite.

[@bluemamba5317]

The stones have natural veins in them. That can't happen when using geopolymer.

[@marekkucak6581]

@@bluemamba5317 Thats s weird thing insn't it? Yet they look like they were melted and put in place without any space between them. Egyptians in the copper age and Maya didn't know how to make iron tools to work the stones. They even know how to make wheel and pulley to place several ton blocks.

[@bluemamba5317]

@@marekkucak6581 Yes, it is a great mystery. I believe there is a lot of known information being held away from the public.

[@onjofilms]

When you got to Egypt for the Pyramid tour, and you pay the extra $20 they take you into the basement where the 3D printer is.

[@David_Mash]

This is going to be game changing!

[@gilligandad67]

This product is 100% the future and the past. William Hoff is a brilliant man with a great vision, working hard in Las Vegas to change the world quietly

[@automateconstruction]

I’ll see him again soon for an update

[@brandonfigueroa7399]

I like this guys realistic view of the future.

[@brandonfigueroa7399]

Hemp! Step 1 buy land, Step 2 grow hemp step 3 print house

[@thomaswilliamjohnson3022]

Right

[@onjofilms]

Wow! I can see custom Geopolymer roof tiles printed for homes. One long tile the length you need, and then molded right into valleys and hips.

[@brandonfigueroa7399]

The fact that you can crush that material up and reuse it is very important for space based applications where new material is unavailable. Please ask these guys about space applications. its how were will be building gigantic structures in space and on celestial bodies. Put a bug in their ear.

[@hondainsight421]

This is great and a company building in Las Vegas. Great interview!

[@sirclayton3530]

Great video can you make a video comparing Geo Palmer 3-D printing to regular 3-D printing for prices and performance

[@WannesHaxyl]

His product and mix explains so much! He's absolutely right about ancient people using this in their construction work. I wonder if this printing technique would ever develop until not a single print line is visible anymore. To the point where you can basically print lifesize stone objects and figures with a perfect smooth look. Kind of like our modern day PLA 3D printers, where print quality became so fine and detailed that they are basically pieces of fine art. Makes you wonder about the statues of ancient times.

[@budgetaudiophilelife-long5461]

🤗THANKS JARETT…THE JOURNEY CONTINUES 😍😍😍

[@taitran-nk1tk]

I am so excited for this product. This is the future. I support this all the way!

[@VenturaIT]

Good stuff, and he knows about the historical uses, such as the pyramids and Puma Punku in Bolivia.

[@stevehind7318]

Incredible questions for the company Jarett, and such a great insight to the construction 3D printing industry and what materials they're testing.

[@ahowl7mx]

Been waiting for a US geopolymer supplier for a couple years now. Need some waterfront retaining walls

[@joe7272]

I would love to build ah ouse and workshop out of this (once I can afford it)!

[@nixonsmateruby1]

I have collected ancient artefacts made of geopolymer and it must be amazing stuff as some things I have are sculptures with tiny things stuck to them so it must be something we need back.

[@krscott7]

It is also saving trees which are providing clean air!

[@AWESOMEVIDESHEE]

8:40 woooow awesome. and color to

[@Morraak]

Super cool stuff! Would be very interested in using this to build a house when I get some property!

[@Dalorian1]

Is this company listed yet? I want to invest...

[@WeTheLittlePeople]

instead of laying it down in cowpie style. I was hoping they would begin just pouring these things into pre-cast molds and see what happens.

[@truthcam1]

Very cool...

[@cureworks]

Answered prayer report Jarett Gross! Good job. You chose another amazing reality to share. In addition to the future, we are blessed with engineering and design for the now too! And the tech works in Hemp. Thank You Lord!!!!!!! Printer ink (filament) limitations are officially removed - about thirty cents a pound. "The times they are a changing" Reality dictates the need for environmentally conscious structures that are waterproof, fireproof, non-toxic, durable, recyclable, no pollution in the process (operate using magnetic energy). One question. A Faraday Cage printed into the structure would reduce EMF / radiation exposure as demonstrated by Nikola Tesla. Is there a filament that could be used to print a Faraday Cage into structures? Thank you Geopolymer International for your brilliant work you shared in this presentation. We must fully make the transition to modern construction techniques, materials and tools. Thanks again Jarett for your inspirational work in the field of Auto Construction. You are a great teacher. JOY!

[@julienboucaron9780]

Thank you, pretty interesting to see this kind of material alternatives, I hope you will be able to show details on the Vegas 3d printed house.

[@automateconstruction]

They seemed open to letting me film when they build it.

[@Creativeconquer]

We are currently doing B.T.P. on GPC based on fly ash & alkaline agents

[@phillipalder9045]

Great presentation. Can you use GPC to pour foundations, basements, and walls?

[@WeTheLittlePeople]

Maybe give some samples of their mixer output to artists and see what they can create with it. Maybe before it hardens would be perfect opportunity for someone to come in and re-shape it so its artistic. Would give them a huge push in public relations.

[@jachmantis]

It would be game changing but they'll gatekeep this so that it is twice as expensive as regular concrete so that regular people can't have quality homes.

[@rifz42]

how do you know the industrial waste is clean and safe.. long term?

[@hughesey009]

Was the 10,000 years that made me laugh.

[@ethereal-fortress39]

is this available in Australia?

[@666awesome666]

Everything cool stoked, one misprint is that mudbots have figured out how to print 8' of wall in one go. Otherwise everything seems legit.

[@automateconstruction]

Ive seen a couple companies print over 8 ft at once in person including CyBe Vertico and TAM. I haven’t seen Mudbots do this but I’d like to.

[@krscott7]

Does it withstand 100-mile winds?

[@automateconstruction]

We’d have to test that but it has a very good chance

[@Earth2Flo-v6f]

How does it hold up in earthquakes? It seems that would be a problem in states with quakes.❤

[@Earth2Flo-v6f]

How much? That’s important part😊

[@Jackson33oroToro]

amazing

[@sud3187]

Hello Jarett. I'm interesed to talk with you. Please

[@chisaomusician7752]

I can't doubt that it's a great product but they lose points for pretending the 10,000 year lifespan is anything more than a theory.

[@automateconstruction]

I don’t believe anything till I see it that’s why I go everywhere to make all these videos!

[@chisaomusician7752]

@@automateconstruction This was my first good introduction to geopolymers. I think I will buy their book! Thanks!

[@Shao192]

Great idea but not sure if their partner company Renca would supports this. As far I know it's from Russia.

[@spectrumofreality]

Geopolymers most certainly use a lot of water that of course is not recycled or reused as it's part of the solution used to make it. Contrary to what this guy is saying any and all concrete can most certainly be ground up and reused and it will also bond...
