I love this video. Look how much easier it is to pick up and move those big blocks. For those of us who might try this at home, I did see a much simpler version where the woman had two 5-gallon plastic buckets, mortar and water in one, dishwashing liquid in the other. She whipped up the foam with a paint mixing attachment on her drill -- the same attachment house painters use. Then, using that same drill and mixing attachment, mixed the foam into the mortar in the first bucket. Poured it into molds, and voila, building bricks.

En Argentina se usa un tipo que se hace sin yeso. Sólo arena, cemento, cal y espuma. Son portantes. Se puede construir hasta dos plantas sin hormigón estructural. Se hacen en fábricas y se tratan en autoclave, supongo que para acelerar el desmolde. Lo práctico de usar yeso es que en quince o veinte minutos se desmolda, lo que es ideal para una producción tipo artesanal, pero queda algo sin resistencia hidrófuga.

[@YouCountSheep]

Its called aerated concrete and was invented in 1923. It really is extremely light and has very good insulative properties but it is not as strong as bricks in terms of holding alot of weight. The durability test in this video shows that it will deform when its hit and stays in one piece. Thats because air is trapped inside there. But it is a very good building material for one or maybe 2 story houses.

[@russellstewart5414]

Great video!!! Weird suggestion. In cooking when combining fluffy whipped egg whites in with other substances like a batter or custard the process is to fold in small amounts of the egg whites at first then add increasing amounts of egg whites until you just dump the last half in. Folding in is a gentler process than mixing. You take your spatula or spoon and you bring the mix over itself from the bottom. Folding it rather than mixing. I wonder if you had a long low container you could use a shovel to do something similar.

There's a related video on an Arizona couple trying out "air-crete" to build a house. They gave it up. The quality was variable in their case (they were making it theirselves). So I have doubts this will work for buildings you want to last many years, but it's still interesting for lesser projects, maybe a decorative wall for wind protection? but you'd have to seal the exterior, I think, so the elements don't wear away the mortar.

Cellular concrete has been around for decades in the commercial construction space, with systems being perfected over time.

Two rails would allow them to stack firmly, similar to legos. This could get rid of the need grout. In the end holes filled with rebar and concrete would be fastest and strongest to hold walls in place IMO. I have to wonder if the smooth surface makes the grout a bit meaningless.

For example some are better at stopping sound, some are harder (which is good and bad), some are less conductive to heat, there are different prices and slightly different skills required to lay them properly.

If you are interested in making these, (or just foam concrete), I rent a machine that spits out the foamer with no mixing, and foamer liquid - in the US. The machine is important for big jobs, when using ready mix or concrete pumpers. (foam can be injected into pumped mortar) Insulate under the concrete floors of a house or backfill a basement with it. The foam cement's strength can vary from 20 psi ( no strength insulation) to 1000 psi (at 50 pounds per cubic foot). This product has been in use to fill old mine shafts for years. A foamer that lasts hours is essential- you don't want the bubbles to pop before the cement hardens a little.

They are not to be used for the actual structure of a building. You need to build the actual structure using concrete and rebar first, then you can use these as infill. With a bond beam on top. Otherwise you're building a coffin. These blocks have very little compressive strength.

I've been trying to reproduce this process. I got some scrap sheet rock (aka gypsum board) and ground it into a powder separating the paper surfacing. I used the proportions of the recipe in smaller quantities. It turns out that you will need something other than "gypsum". By definition, gypsum has water already in it. This doesn't harden like in the video. The gypsum has to be heated (baked) to remove the water. This turns it into plaster (plaster of paris) that can again react with water and harden. I have tested the baked "gypsum-turned-to-plaster" and found that it did indeed harden.

I am pleased that people repeat that my video is interesting and useful to them.

cement ?

надо использовать свежий строительный гипс а не уже использованный, в гипсокартоне гипс уже использовал свое вяжущее свойство, это тоже самое как измельчить кусок бетона и говорить что это не цемент.

Awesome guys . I’d slip cast a full wall on site if it were possible . Trades like these and other manual labour are all too often disrespected by talentless fools in offices . 🇬🇧👍

[@newagetemplar6100]

@@cussblackstone3304 I’ve worked in many industries from fabrication, manufacturing and building trades . Had my own business and been self employed, the majority of the time as I have experienced ‘office staff’ think they for some reason are better than those involved in manual labour. My experience is they usually cannot grasp basic scenarios, are void of critical thinking and think they sit in an office to boss a few people around , press a few keys on a keyboard and talk corporate bollocks . Constantly distanced from the fact that the ‘workers’ are actually creating profit and a physical product of value that is in fact keeping them in a job and without that end product they wouldn’t have a job . Level of pay has a bit to do with it but as I see it manual labour is seen as low intelligence as the tier system of so called professional promotion peaks at a high level office job . A position fictitiously pushed in society. At 55 I would rather stick needles in my eyes stuck in a brain numbing office job passing the buck acting as little Hitlers. I have been on many sites from the age of 14 , quoting on jobs at 16 and dealing with management. The majority haven’t got a clue, the best are ones that have been on the tools and actually moved to management. Then they understand the industry and have seen how such basic issues can have a major impact on the end product be it a house , car or chemical storage tank .

El cemento le permite no desmoronarse con el agua, por eso siempre se usa yeso con cemento, ademas que le da mas dureza. Aca le llamamos Diablo a la mezcla de yeso con cemento.

Reminds me of when my grandpa's house burned down. Being a cranky old man, he built his new house out of styrofoam. Then whenever the neighborhood kids would get too loud, he would unbolt the house. Then he'd pick the whole thing up, shaking it over his head and roar like a lion. He scared everyone, with that trick.

this foam block does not burn in fire, we have already checked it, if you want, we will conduct a test

However, I am a bit uncertain about the proportions of ingredients. the video shows: ingredients for 6 blocks 60cm/30cm/20cm: 16kg X 6 = 96kg 37 kg of gypsum plaster 2 kilograms of cement 50 liters of foam plastic weighing 1.5 kilograms (250 grams of AOC ALPHA-OLEFIN-SULFONATE per 5 liters of water) *ES EL AGENTE ESPUMANTE SI LLEGAS A SABER QUIEN VENDE EN ARGENTINA AVISAME POR ACÁ- YO ESTOY BUSCANDO ALGUN LABORATORIO 50 liters of water the blocks weigh 96 kg when dry; but there is only a dry weight input of 37+2+ 0.25 = 39.25kg If this is correct, then 59.75kg of hydrogen and oxygen are bound up with the dry ingredients! Please correct me if I made any mistake in this calculation."

@BbAmazingSkills sorry for asking a lot of questions, you say that the blocks absorb the water from the mortar, and that they are water resistant, what do you think is the best way to coat the exterior without default? or do you think it's better to leave them unplastered? thank you in advance and I wish you a good continuation, you do an excellent work.
