Air Crete Machine for Under $30 (DIY)

Darwin has designed a machine that makes the foam for air crete, the Foam Mate. The ready made machine on the market costs $500. By building it yourself you understand the way it works and can make your own improvements on it. We have the plans on our etsy store and anyone can do it with the right parts and correct measurements. Most of the parts are listed below, some parts could only be bought in bulk so I did not put the link.

Your design has possibly opened the door for thousands and thousands of people who could not otherwise afford it, to create their own structures. You sir, are a saint and a gentleman. Those crying out for "patent this", and "money that" simply don't understand what this life is really all about. I can see by your interactions with your family and your sharing nature, that you do. Kudos. ~~ _PEACE_

[@joshuasibayan4867]

believe it hello cud any one tell me where to buy foaming agent for concrete.. i would like to build my house cheaper i dont have the money to make a house meaning i have lots of debt...loans...

[@suparnosariban2139]

Nice info brother....

[@michaelrichards2546]

God Bless you sir....

[@danielvivian3282]

Check out siporex, it is very similar.

[@martybisschoff6000]

Agreed. Respect to you my friend.

[@surfergypsy]

My father, Jack DeHaven Cohen was building houses using "aireated" concrete here in North Little Rock, AR in the late 1940's, early 1950's. One of his houses is still in its original state in a neighborhood called Park Hill. Unfortunately, he was called to duty in the Korean War and didn't get to continue his experimental business. I have documentation and newspaper articles about it. I'm very impressed with your device. Thanks for putting this "out there." I will check out your etsy listing! C. Cohen

[@pauln9625]

I'd love to see that documentation. Have you ever considered posting it on KZbin or elsewhere online? If you've already done this, please post a link. Thanks.

[@surfergypsy]

Paul N that's a great idea! The house is just a few blocks away from where I live. I could at least get some exterior footage...maybe even ask the current owner to let me in! The flat roof house had a "yard" on top, partly for the novelty of it, but also to show the durability and strength of the structure. It was beautifully landscaped, and I have a photo of my father sitting at a patio table talking on the phone! At some point, the yard was "removed" by nervous owners, but it never caused any damage and upon removing it, they discovered the house and roof to be perfectly sound. I've heard that they considered putting the lawn back, but they were expecting a child, and decided it would be too dangerous! When you consider all of the innovative ways that humans have created dwellings over the centuries, it's funny to think how resistant people are to anything new or different.

[@surfergypsy]

rats arsed, Try building an igloo in Arkansas and I will be impressed. Perhaps my Father built the house in an appropriate environment for a reason. Straw bale houses are very popular in arid climates like New Mexico, but certainly not a wise choice for tropical locales. My interest is discovering alternative forms of construction, not impressing KZbin viewers.

[@HoneyDoCarpenter]

We would love to see it.

[@johncuervo3019]

Any updates

[@deliverance472]

Air rated concrete has been on the market for many years. Invented in Europe and used widely in construction. China has over sixteen hundred factories that make it and ship all over the world. There are only four factories in the US. The reason it not allowed in North America is that it would destroy the drywall and wood industry. You have done an excellent job explaining this.

[@johna1160]

Aerated

[@jkrupke]

Where are the 4 factory's at?

[@themonkeydrunken]

factories

[@bastjani5733]

AAC autoclaved aerated concrete blocks have been used since the 1940 in some countries is called BCA

[@djohnson3678]

'''''''' There are only four factories in the US. , The reason it not allowed in North America '''' the U.S. is NORTH AMERICA. so how can there be 4 in the U.S. when there not allowed in the ( U.S. = North America ) redo you're statement plz, it is confusing . . . misleading

It's so loveable having the kids in the videos. Would be wonderful if everyone loved their family that much. Shalom

Been so busy lately trying to get my house work done . Come in at nights to watch some youtube before I sleep . & I still find your shows are the best ever . Dont care if Ive watched them a dozen times or not . Still fun & informative . Love you all & continue to hope you keep up the great work you do . Ill eventually catch up on all the newer shows youve out out on Saturdays

[@ChristoA2075]

Believe it says it perfectly! Wonderful Stuff :) One amazing thing I love about this process and your presentation of it, is you are so happy to make mistakes, go back to the drawing board / stand on the brick, let it break, it's a lovely demonstration of process and progress undeterred by the ubiquitous and insidious culture of fail... You inspire me. Thanks you sincerely.

[@rrboyd10]

I love that your all worked on it together. I remember helping my dad on projects.. he's now gone a long time and I'm in to the golden years... I've never forgotten spending that time together... Oh and yeah.. i'll make one of these cool things for sure!!!

[@davidb9587]

This guy looks very happy, I will be too once I finish this build. Thank you for you time making this video kind sir. I think I figured out why you're so happy, you have the cutest kid and and a sharp wife not to mention your creation WORKS great. That's the good life 🙈🙉🙊.

I built a 2000 square foot house in Thailand from foam concrete bricks. it is easy to cool and is pretty quiet

[@jamesnolastname620]

Frank , if you are referring to Q-con blocks ,Those are not aircrete , those are light weight flyash blocks Those are what I used to build my house in khon kaen with they are great also built my shop out of them

[@josephcernansky1794]

This is the same stuff used for INSULATION in walls!! My next house I build will be light gauge steel studs with AIR-CRETE INSULATION. Having a contractor install it would be more expensive than creating my own process and having my own crew do it. Already figured it would be 60% or more doing it ourselves. The beautiful thing about it is that it can increase structural rigidity while also reducing exterior sound and great insulator with MAXIUM fire protection AND no rot or mold or insect infestation! Between LG steel and Air-crete, the structure is as well built as I could think to engineer a residential home. The exterior sheathing will be a cementitious panel product as well. Interior sheathing would include non-papered drywall and/or wood panels (love wood for its appearance, time to stop cutting forests for ANTI-"green" energy windmill access roads and transmission lines and use it for its BEAUTY!!)

[@johngundaker5655]

[@jaggery77]

man I loved this video and and even as a DIY guy I would get your plans just because you did a great job showcasing the build, product and are helping folks understand more about building materials like this kind and that is always more power in peoples hands when they are given the knowledge. I love that you added the concepts to help folks understand the uses and whats such a big deal about concretes and their different make ups and where the industry is trying to go. Something that I was thinking about when you were mentioning the insulative value of this made product with your foam tool got me so stoked about it with rocket stoves or heaters and then you mentioned it right when I was pondering what tests you have found!!! So thank you for mentioning that and now I know that I can write you more about this topic and know about another gentlemen looking for easier to make high heat materials for all the many ways to use rocket power (obviously not rocket power but easier to write). I would love to hear about other readily available materials that we can help make rocket stove parts that can withstand 3 to 4k degrees and not prematurely degrade. So I would love to here from you about your journey in searching that out as it seems that you are quite more knowledgeable with the cement world and I have stuck to the earthen clay stuff, since I realize that portland cement materials just aren't base material substances that can take the heat abuse over time even if we aerate it. SO PLEASE make a video if you haven't about your progressions towards an easier way to making refractory masonry material for rocket builds since I deal with it a lot. Your video of this mix did inspire me to think about making water glass like many do and adding that to the mix to be a higher temp stabilizer, I have made attempts on small scale rocket burners using cement with perlite and then doing the same mix with water glass (sodium silicate) being easy to make and can handle at least a couple thousand degrees. So I'll stop now and try to make contact with you. But last note. It also was way cool to see you run your channel with your entire family involved and you showed openly about being a very intentional kind loving dad and husband, and I love that!! So kudos man!! keep it up. We can all tell when a man loves and puts intentionality into the family relationships, and you let it be seen for your followers. Great example!!

You just gave me an idea about kilns and floating docks and boats and floating bullet proof vests and much more. Thanks.

[@jakefriesenjake]

I would do a very long test on aircrete as a floating dock. It might eventually fill up with water and sink

[@joeestes8114]

Its awesome to see you include your family in your experiments! It looks like alot of fun!

[@funny-video-YouTube-channel]

Great machine. I think it is very possible to fill gaps, cracks and holes with air crete. Place plastic foil over the cavity, make a hole in the plastic and fill up the cavity trough the hole.

[@Grammey6Mommey]

I have seen HOMES already built with this stuff!!! What the builder did was to spray it on a HOMEMADE TYPE STRUCTURE!!!!! They did use some of the smallest rebar but the rest of the building material was things like bamboo and thin wood strips. The rest, I could not understand the person . it was sooo awesome!!!!!

[@ewa2929]

ingenious idea.being in the concrete industry 30 yrs I have seen the benifits and uses of light weight concrete.Try using a water reducer admixture for even more structural integrity.

The best part of your video is all the extra Helping Hands. You got to love having the family be a part of it

[@Liescomefromtheright]

I'm curious: If you were to add carbon powder to your bubble mix initially before mixing with concrete if that would greater strengthen your bond. If you made a vacuum tent for your aircrete parts and pressurized them. Hypothetically, it would compress and stack the foam molecules tighter, and they would be reinforced with spherical carbon structures internally.

[@brianmi40]

Nicely done, and kudos to the wife for her thoughtful contributions and encouragement! Bravo!

[@stanjarmolowicz]

I have no good enough words to properly THANK YOU . I lost house and everything year ago in California duo to wild fire .and i was grossly under insured . i'm forced by life to build by myself now and aircrete is my #1 choice . there is no other idea of building which would be better or even close competitor to pour aircrete in to form or lay one by one aircrete blocks to build . I'm 61 and aircrete is only option for me to handle the building process eliminate maintenance ,insulation and improve fire safety to max. it will be slow building by one older man, but there is no need for so much of muscle power as other methods and heavy weight materials require . Beside eliminating need for young muscle and stamina wee eliminate maintenance ..cement based building is not going to be eaten by termites or FIRE . no need for unhealthy expensive insulation . When is done it will last for generations . I'm surprice and i don't get it that foamed concrete is not used everywhere instead of wood for building houses . When i was a kid 50 years ago in Poland 99% of houses and apartments were made out of aircrete blocks . And is prbably still most popular building material today ..but i live here almost 40 years so i'm not really sure about that last statement . Thank you again Stan

[@donaldbelisle8580]

So, let me get this straight. The foam in the video at first looked like two part insulation foam. Then, it looked like you were using dish soap. Is that what you are infusing into the Portland? If so, what a great idea! By the way, I believe you have the patience of a saint! When I was young and got in the way, I'd get a crack across the backside! Those kids will have learned the same patience that you exibit when they grow and have a family of their own! Thanks for the great videos!

This would be great for making houses that are located in wooded area that a lot of fires!

[@kirkrende3935]

I love your affection and encouragement of your children.

[@chiraldude]

Interesting way to make cheap lightweight concrete. The one issue I see is that you have to add a lot of water to allow the foam to work into the mix. The #1 rule of concrete is: the more water, the weaker the final strength will be. Another way I have seen lightweight concrete with better strength is to mix in vermiculite or pearlite. More expensive than soap bubbles but you can make a much stronger mix. Lots of examples of outdoor pizza ovens made this way for example.

[@vishnoor]

one could add a plasticiser to the cement to decrease the water content thus allowing greater strength.

[@SeaJay_Oceans]

Could another liquid chemical be added to water, some fast evaporating chemicals that are not flammable ?

[@martybisschoff6000]

I am in the process of going totally off grid in South Africa. Lots of folks here too that are tired of the tyranny imposed. Building a sandbag home. I must just figure out now how to be able to make a similar machine to spray the concrete / foam mixture on the outer walls, and then screen it nice and flat, about 10mm thick. Bingo! Thank you once again.

[@gregoriosmith6994]

Marty, The solution for tyranny imposed is either revolution or move to another country.

[@corona271]

I have a very small project that hardly justifies building the machine. Wonder if I could go to the $1 store and buy several cans of shaving cream and use that?

[@rochrich1223]

That would be pretty good at soaping down a car, trash can or room. I've seen professional units dousing food service machinery/spaces. That's a good idea for the foaming mixer.

[@jerry-cw9yw]

Your air crete videos are fantastic. I like all the uses I've seen so far, very ingenious. Have you ever attempted to mix in a conventional mixer?

[@martinlahaise5554]

Great idea, good explanation. I would shorten front rubber hose to have it parallel to the main tube, or even join the two tubes together and arrange the small rubber hoses to make the entire assembly more compact.

I wonder how this might work as an outer plaster coating for straw bale buildings.

For all you asking questions This has been out for decades In Europe They make panels to put up bldgs They use it to level out the floor They put in roofs A dome building group came up with the green dragon. They determined that a protein based soap like the organic 7th heaven makes a good foaming agent. They sell commercial foaming agents too. Honey do carpenter came up with a diy way go do it . Which I thank you

[@matthewmosier8439]

Correct. Europe doesn't have access to wood the way North America does, so they had to adapt to that shortage

With the correct mixture, and inflatable forms, this technology could be used to rapidly inflate & back fill structures. Faster than a 3D Concrete 'printer'. Combining both technologies & you could rapid inflate, & print dome sheds, & then saw out windows , doors, connections, etc. as needed. Different inflated forms could yield square or rectangular structures.

Thank you for sharing! A check valve on the line that connects to the supply line from the compressor could prevent the foam agent from flowing out while you fill the reservoir.

[@gooutside6055]

Did you mix soap foam with concrete ? I wonder if it would work as insulation for a shipping container home.

[@crpth1]

go outside - It´has good insulation properties. But your problem regarding the use on a container, is how to make it "grab" the metal walls. All concrete, this type included, shrink after cure. As such it will get "loose" from the walls if some mechanical fixing is not done. Welded Wire mesh, re-barb or even bolts trough the container walls can serve the purpose of letting it "stick" to the walls. For all effects think of the metal walls as a "form". Personally I would prefer a more flexible type of insulation in that application. ;-) Cheers

[@shefjeff2050]

Attach lath to the shipping container, then apply the air crete like stucco. It will slide off of the metal otherwise. Alternatively, you could build a form around the container, and pour it in. I think the lath would be less work, and less expensive.

[@crpth1]

@Freddy McIntire - Hi, that´s a misconception. Concrete after cure will shrink, specially given the same conditions (heat, moist, etc). Please double check your sources. If left to cure incorrectly (too hot, too dry, too... etc.) it will develop "uncontrolled" shrink cracks. A big no no, specially on structural applications. Like pretty much most other materials,.it will expand with heat and contract with cold. Add moist to the equation and it gets more "confusing". Example1: Under freezing conditions the concrete will contract, the moist will freeze and expand, two opposing forces that mostly result in cracks... Example2: In high heat (ex. oven) applications, concrete and moist will both expand, but at different rates. Result, it cracks... Expansion joints are added to counteract/minimize, in a controlled manner, these phenomenons. Meaning that when correctly applied, it will "move" where its intended to move.Without prejudice of the final work. With this said, there are specially formulated cement and grout mixes with low retraction or even expansion features. Usually used on "sealing" applications (tunnels, basements, foundation work, etc.). ;-) Cheers

Thank You now I know how they are using concrete to 3D print homes. They are using aircrete mixed in the pump of the injector tube. Double screw mixer like the kind that the epoxy industry uses in the sidebyside adhesive applicators.

Thx for the plans! I just bought your plans for the Foam Mate. I hope to build with some foamcrete very soon. We are looking at building an oven, a workshop, a cabin, and more. We really found the cost of the online foam generators to be...distasteful. Add to that the fact we would have to experiment and face discouragement while we are in our learning curve makes the high cost a risk.

SUPER COOL! and hell, with or without the concrete, who wouldn't love a backyard full of shaving cream! you could sell this as a wedding car decorator or rent it out to kids partys. good clean fun! one correction though - pvc is usually white and abs is usually black - and it makes a difference because the glue is different. when it's under pressure, you don't want the glue to fail.

[@2drsdan]

Portland cement deteriorates at 400 degrees. You would have to use refractory cement for a chimney or fire box.

[@sviatalanabesarab1534]

Good man! Way to change the world one important puzzle piece at a time! It' hard to overstate the utility of this material when (not if) scaled and adopted industrially. All the best to you and your beginnings!

[@moonolyth]

Great job !!! Nice little family congrats. I looked into this several years ago long and hard most info. I found was in India and other countries. What a shame we are. Great simple and thoughtful idea. I may be using this to mix the harder and higher temp refractory cements as they are heavier and more dense perhaps add vermiculite or stir-foam pellets. Stuffs not cheep so this will stretch it and make lighter shell. I'm sure there are many safety improvements to be made but KZbin is about ideas and sharing ... building is at ones own discretion and determination, Thanks so much looks very promising.

[@farcticox1409]

If you're using PVC you need PVC cement and primer not ABS cement, if you're joining the two together (to be avoided) you need transition cement. OSHA also forbids using PVC for compressed air above ground, use air pressure rated ABS instead.

[@jershaus]

You can always add fiberglass strands or similar to beef it up

[@MarcellaSmithVegan]

also, as a rocket heater, doesn't the heat need to radiate into the home from the horizontal tube so that it heats the home? Perhaps it wouldn't be good for that part, but since it is after all cement, it should last as long as any cement regardless of tiny bubbles. I wish we could see more studies done. I just love this stuff, I wish we could see your after the 30 day cure. Normal bricks and industry prepared concrete blocks ARE cured for a full length of time. Thank you!

[@quarrelp8504]

Thank you sir Honey Do, when I have a house of my own, sure I will make one like this, its kind of fun to make.

[@febbral]

Heating concrete can cause the cement to explode because of moisture in concrete expanding rapidly, you were extremely lucky it did not rupture while holding it in your hand.

[@Sylvan_dB]

much less likely with all the entrained air, as the little bubbles give expansion room. And since the air insulates so well, the heat is much less likely to go deep where the steam would cause the block to explode.

you ol worry wart...

[@ttfweb1]

Suuuuper lucky the sun didn’t explode!

It would be helpful if you explained the purpose of each tube and pipe. And, how it mixes the water, and soap to make the foam together.

Are you going to sell these on your Etsy store? The unit, not the plans. Im a girl and have not idea how to put it together, but would like to buy the completed unit. I have a home in AZ and I want to use this material to cover my wood siding to make it insulated. ty

[@Chetglass_]

hell yea, paint it all one color and sell online!

[@jmbalash]

yes I also would rather just but it. I by tools when I can. I built the tool if it doesn't exist. you know more on how to build it right and I want to play with cement not figure out how to make a foam machine.

[@jmbalash]

JesusFreakJene I think if you use it to cover the wood siding the problem is it may cause the wood siding to rot.

11:47 Whoa, I wasn't expecting that.

[@Elrey8385]

colonelerotic what if you use stucco lathe over the wood and black paper

[@geoffhirschi803]

At a small increase in material cost, there is a much simpler approach to the "solution chamber" you used. Pick up any hand pump pressurized sprayer. drill a hole in the top and use a brass fitting to add a brass ball valve and then add a hose fitting to the other end of the ball valve which then goes to the compressor air line. The valve is used to fine tune the flow. Remove the spray nozzle and the valve, and feed that tube directly into the foam mate. Then you just open up the pump sprayer and add the foaming solution.

brilliant idea, its just what i need to build a garage.

[@Gcwbigs]

says black PVC pipe and the pipe has abs written right on it!

[@billfoster6809]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who caught that. Great machine.. but did he just get ABS because its cheaper? What glue is there for joining ABS to PVC? No problem if its not high pressure...

[@smarmosaur]

ABS to PVC green transition cement.

[@BrianBriCurInTheOC]

Bill Foster ABS is not cheaper than PVC.

[@ttfweb1]

Detail people are needed to do the simple jobs.

[@anijohnson8082]

What a blessing you are to show us...thank you so much

[@cwk0ss]

music is mixed too loud compared with vocals

[@realazliving]

I like your design. That’s not “black pvc” there’s a reason it says abs on it. If you are trying to glue it that’s important because they use totally different glue and don’t glue together with pvc well. Thanks for this video though. Also, they sell fire brick material in a bag like concrete. For your other project. Though I do think this would hold up pretty well under heat by itself.
