How To Make Aircrete Part 2

[@Medjurazzdiguetto]

12:17 min.. Priceless moment. Thanks for sharing such innovative info on this system. You did a good job

[@chrisdutch3013]

At about 6:55 you say that a little overfill on the second 5-quart bucket of foam will bring the total to 2.1 gallons of foam. 5 quarts is 1.25 gallons, so you're really looking at 2.6 gallons of foam. (Depending on your application, that 25% difference could mean a lot.)

[@wep4968]

Concrete mixing is hard on a drill. I would recommend buying a cheap corded drill for concrete mixing and saving your nice dewalt for other work.

Crucial information to understand the next videos: A mixture of one 94-pounds bag (or 42,6 Kilos) of Portland cement and 6 gallons (27 Liter) of water yields a volume of about 1.1 cubic foot. (or 31 Liter or 8 Gallons). Desired mix = 1,57 Kilo cement + 1 Liter of Water or Desired mix = 11,75 pounds cement + 1 gallon of water

[@MrAdriandi]

One gallon is 3.785 liters, go to google. So 6x3.785=22.71 liters instead of 27 liters.

[@dragilxcom4176]

Why people still use imperial.. metric is easier for conversion. 1000 liter of water is 1000 kg and is 1 cubic meter.

[@vanniyo8988]

What brand of foam is that?

[@rubby66]

Mi estimado, le agradezco mucho por compartir, de forma gratuita, uno de los recursos mas valiosos que existe: el conocimiento.

[@aircreteautoconstruccion1186]

Hi, Harry. Are you still using the same ratio water/cement?

[@docthebiker]

Harry could I suggest dumping the mixer and folding the foam in by hand (at least at the very last)? Only you still draw in a lot of excess air every time you break the surface with a fast power mixer. What you do is great and very instructive (it's why I clicked the bell), but you're still plagued by big bubbles weakening your final results. I think if you tried really avoiding bubbles you'd get a great mix, because the results look perfect if you don't include those cavities.

[@eschickedanz]

Two 5 quart buckets of foam, plus a little more, makes well over 2.1 gallons of foam.

Could you use air Crete for tiny houses?

[@AircreteHarry]

Hi Faith, Yes! you can use Aircrete to build a tiny house. I'm planning to build a 10 X 10 foot aircrete shed. The technique i will be using can be scaled up or down for any size tiny house. I should be starting in the next week or two on that build.

[@milesdavenport8823]

Hi, I love your authentic Eric Reid videos I have a simple question for you maybe not so simple is it possible to do a driveway with this aircrete if you had system setup for it is there something that I don't understand why it would fail with normal lightweight traffic especially if I just did like big sections with dividers and all expansion joints everywhere is just something I don't understand thank you for your time.

[@AircreteHarry]

Yes you can use aircrete for drive. There are several aircrete mix designs you could make, for a driveway I would use a denser aircrete mix.

[@RedandAprilOff-Grid]

Good tips, is this the thickness you like? At first I think we were under mixing, but lately, I think we have been over mixing, but we'll keep experimenting and figure it out. I assume the letters didn't work, but nice try. 😄 Or maybe they did, and I would be very impressed! 👍

[@afbigfish1]

So, Im a little confused. You say 2.1 gallons of foam for the batch you made then used two 5 quart buckets plus over filled the second one. Here in Florida there is 4 quarts per gallon. So 10 quarts is like 2.5 plus the overflow. That was at least 3 gallons. Did I miss something

[@robertwilkinson8115]

The more water in the cement will weaken the end product. Are you taking into consideration that the foaming solution is mostly water? Shouldn't you subtract the amount of water in the foaming solution to keep the cement at its maximum strongth?

[@cm-tv6nr]

Cool mold, love it!!!

[@davidsearles1701]

I would like a mix to pour down through the voids of an existing block wall. So I guess I would want a mix that was lean on cement because I'm looking for a concrete that is going to be light to maximize its insulation property. However, if I make it too light, that would seem to reduce the likelihood that it would be liquid enough to pour down to the bottom course of blocks. Any insights? Thanks.

[@gorgeousdzastr]

Do you have a home made machine that "sprays" the aircrete onto a surface?

[@AircreteHarry]

Yes! I will be have it ready soon.

[@antonioadami4848]

mapei foaming agent not need foaming machine, simple take one small tank of mapei foaming agent and 2 cubic meter of water and put it inside truck mixer and mix for 3/5 minutes at max speed

[@lighttheoryllc4337]

What about a Air pump tubing put into the sides and bottom of the bucket, to force air, while the lid is on, and there could be a hole in the lid, to slide the drill piece into, before attaching to the drill. This way, much more air bubble are being forced into the mixture. Also, the soap, stay away from dawn, it has degreasers. It's better to use a plant based soap like Seventh Generation with out any degreasers in the formula. The Concrete, try using Fiver reinforced Concrete by Quickcrete, to make the concrete less brittle by adding tension from the fibers. Water, try using distilled water, free of contamination or minerals. The drill bit, could also have additional paddles welded onto the stem to force more air into it, while drilling clockwise. InshaALLAH brother, hope this helps.

Hi Harry, What PSI is your compressor at to get the 3# in 5 gal bucket? I realize adjusting the valve changes the CFM but wondering what PSI to start with? One of your videos said 15 PSI are you still using that? Thanks much

I have my compressor set to 95 psi. The 15 or 30 PSI was for a different foam machine.

[@MattMinter]

94lbs cement to 48lbs water (6 gal)

[@docthebiker]

Convert Harry's measures to metric and you near as damn it get 1.90/1.00 The rule is pretty much in the middle of 1/1 to 1/2 no more no less, so Harry's mix is at the upper end.

[@fleaniswerkhardt4647]

Great to see someone else who thinks in metric! Volume in quarts, gallons etc is lost on me and no doubt many others. So it's good to put it in terms of ratios. I got roughly 9 cement to 5 water for the slurry (prefer to err on using more cement). But what was the ratio of foam to slurry?

[@tasmanianbadger]

Your ratio is unclear. You use mass for two parts, then you use volume for the third. Please consider putting the ratio in imperial and metric in the text section.

[@mtdarkness82]

The weight per volume of water is a constant. Hint: 6 gallons is roughly 50lbs.

Don't use a drill for mixing, they aren't made for that, and will destroy the bearings. Use a plaster/gypsum mixer with two handles, complete with the correct paddle mixer...not too expensive, but powerful and with variable speed.

[@sonofagun3193]

You will not be able to make a good quality FC this way. Use a Protein based foam concentrate, forget the soapy foam!! Reduce water cement ratio by using a super plasiciser. U can make your protein foam concentrate yourself if you have no supplier for this. Buy a bag of dried blood=an organic fertilizer ( slaughterhouse by-produkt) Make a 2,5% lye solution and heat to 70 degree C. Stirr in the dried blood and agitate constantly. Untill the blood is dissolved. Repeat until the lye is saturated. Let cool down. Filter the brown liquid through a cloth. Optional: ad some ethylen glycol for winterisation and preservative against decay and rotting. Now you made the best foaming agent ever! Harmless to the environment. If you make your FC from 50-50 cement and lime, you will reach high compressive strength and better elasticity modulus. Of course you can ad sand to increase strength even more but than insulation value decreases Regards Bert españa
