You might want to connect the pantry directly to the kitchen. I would eliminate pantry entrance from central space, just close the part of wall and use the hall as extended pantry space. Then just have the hall connecting pantry to kitchen. It has added benefit of giving you a solid wall where you could do built in bookshelf, a bench or what ever.

[@DeAnnaG_KissingFrogsMedia]

I have been obsessed with these for 20+ years. GMTA! This resembles a sketch in my notebook 1997. I had in mind it as a communal family home, where each bubble was kinda like an individual suite for a family member / couple. The center dome was the gathering space, and the southern most dome was the greenhouse. 😊 ❤

[@AircreteHarry]

Welcome to the channel DeAnna 👍 Awesome share, we are happy to read it! Surely it must be an even bigger confirmation for you now. Let there be a sign, right 😎 💗 Do you have in mind to build one for yourself as well? Our Best, Mr & Mrs Aircrete-Harry

@@AircreteHarry So far, the economy has been such a kick in the teeth thing to me that its a mere pipe dream. It keeps up ill be calling a pup tent my retirement home, owning land and actually being able to build a tiny house, let alone my dream monolithic dome/ earthberm / earth ship type home is the dream that keeps me grinding. Surviving the grinder and coming out on the other side with enough wealth and health to make it happen…. We shall see. Hope and work towards the best, handle the rest the best I can.

[@AircreteHarry]

@@DeAnnaG_KissingFrogsMedia You are correct, we are in the same boat experiencing this re@lity. So much to say, right.. Main goal of starting this YT channel, was opening people to other possibilities & opportunities while sharing the steps we were taking in experimenting, developings, learning, applying & succeeding. As you may have noticed, I share the failures as well to not only Not sugarcoat the process but to make sure I specifically exp0se what didn't work too well & what not to do. That part alone is to share with others & prevents people from making the same mistakes & saving Time & money. In 2020 everything was at a still stand. 2021 had parts & supplies delays. 2021/2022 prices have been insane. One can only do what one can. Never lose hope especially when you are passionate about something positive. That's what we do.

Have you looked into building dome windows with plexi glass? I’ve built a few windows with it for a camper that were curved and they work well . Pretty decent U value too especially with 2 sheets . I’d imagine if you built them in sections , you could possibly fill them with argon too . I bent 1x 2 wood in a jig , then painted the wood , drilled pilot holes in the plexi glass , used a bead of silicone and those metal roofing screws with rubber washers. I didn’t use a desiccant in side but I’d imagine that wouldn’t be hard to do . And could probably put a valve in the frame to fill up with argon .

You could have long windows that go around the upper part of the dome for a sky light

[@MakerTools]

You da man, Harry!!! BTW on the dome cap windows, my good friend Bob Coles placed a large round skylight dome on top of the central dome of seven total domes, his plan for Jefferson Street, Buffalo, NY library. Came out great, BTW, used every day. Turned out that even in dark Grey skies Buffalo, so much sun came through, they had to cover the skylight with a fabric tarp to reduce light blasting in. Also the seven done plan was based on African village layouts where each dome was connected as village but not physically connected as yours are... His domes connect as outer circumference blend into each other. Reason for the central dome is connection that would otherwise be outdoors in Africa where its warm... North in Buffalo freezes much of the year. So they're connected. No tunnels... They're actually not domes, I just remembered, only center is domed, the others are flat roofed circular rooms. Ahhh, yes. Similar though.. Anyway, all good, loved this video...) thumbs up!!!

Cool idea with the sky lights! I've been fantasizing about making a greenhouse dome but instead of using regular windows it would be using prisms or light tubes. That way you don't loose that much heat from large windows, and they are easier to cover up if you want to reduce sunlight.

[@AircreteHarry]

Great idea.

[@vitalrights7390]

@@AircreteHarry When you use skylights they don't need to be that big to gave lots of light when on roof. The light tubes used as skylights give loads on light with very small diameter, research first before you spends loads of money for way oversized/priced and too much sun or light... big size maybe in living room and kitchen, day use rooms - bedrooms smaller

[@jentronics3754]

You might want to keep in mind how much heat you will be adding to the interior with the skylights. I remember a house that added four skylights. It had a 4 ton AC and the additional skylights made the house uncomfortable and the AC ran continuously.

[@MarkAylwardz]

dome design application: Harry what software did you show in the video for designing the Dome village?

Looks like you might want to move one set of your solar panels further away from the roof canopy. The thing with solar is that if any of the cells on the panel get a tiny bit of shade on them, it kills the efficiency of the entire panel.

[@happyhigdons]

I used to make small 13” domes out of plexiglass. I heated the acrylic plexiglass in an oven at 400 degrees. I watched and when it sagged I quickly transferred it over to a flat sheet of steel that had a threaded hole in the center. I had a 13” diameter ring made of 1/2” or 5/8” steel, I don’t remember now, that I had preheated so it wasn’t cold. I quickly put that over the plexiglass and clamped it down with vice grips all the way around. I blew compressed air through the threaded hole in the center, the compressor was connected to it via a threaded pipe to a short length of air hose with a valve on it. I would slowly open up the valve and as the air filled it, it would blow a bubble in the plexiglass. I just eyeballed how high I wanted it. I used a bandsaw to trim it to size, then a bench grinder with a stone wheel to get it exact and smooth. A knife scraped around it finished it off to get it perfectly smooth, made the distinct fingernails on the chalkboard sound when scraping it. Occasionally I would take one out of the oven too quick, or I’d take too long setting it up and the plastic would cool. When I hit it with the air a chunk of hot plastic would go flying straight up, so I stayed to the side with my head down. Also, if you heat it too hot or too long, it forms air bubbles in the plastic. This could be done in large sizes. Use a pizza oven, or build a custom oven using kaowool or perhaps even aircrete.

Man oh man I LOVE this video! I like the way you think ... you are a kindred spirit. Couple of quick questions. (1) How does the EPICrete compare with the Aircrete in terms of fire rating? I have seen tests where certain aircrete mixtures/recipes withstand up to 5000° F which I assume is due to the perlite mix. (2) What is the weight differential between the two products say between the same sized slabs or blocks with the same thickness. Again, you are DA MAN! I wish I could give you more thumbs up but I guarantee you at least one from me on every video and these will be shared as well. Thank you for your time and effort. ETA a third question. (3) What are the bonding properties of the EPICrete in terms of skim coating with shotcrete, bitumen, painting, etc?

[@AircreteHarry]

Can you place the entire structure on that mountain behind you? You might want to have a survey on that plateau to determine the chances of flood. Also might there be mostly skylight illumination?

[@brandencasey6761]

It's an interesting design, but I feel that you're missing out on a lot of space in all those key holes between each dome. In my opinion, having the domes be slightly larger so that many sections of walls will be interconnected. This would also make water storage pockets in those key holes.

[@vitalrights7390]

Hi Harry long time no talk, now i see you been down to Italy Texas, i was there for the training back on 2005. On your dome design the pantry should be connected to the kitchen either directly or off the corridor, it's not convenient to go into living room to go into the pantry when you are in kitchen... Have you seen David's pumps from Monolithic? they are high priced but work very well and long lasting workhorses. One more suggestion when you were adding the add mix fortifier etc - why not just add to the concrete mix you already had made, i think it's counter productive to add to foam, should be added to concrete mix instead of some of the water. Take a look at instructions. Happy building Vital Portugal

[@barbarianleatherandblades8686]

Only difference is is each module was in a suite family suite and the center was the gathering place like the patio inner courtyard. It has the glass dome over the inner courtyard and you can grow many edible plants within that yard as well

[@Bob_Adkins]

Domes, or cylindrical structure with domed roof? 2 rooms devoted to greens, but none to a shop? I believe the shop should be the 24 footer. :). Kidding aside, have you thought of up-scaling the size? I can imagine much larger domes being feasible by applying 2-3 thin coats of light, high strength resin cement on the inflated mold until it will support the thick coats of aircrete. A single, huge dome would make a very elegant and strong home.

[@ensiv74]

Have you considered not having all the arch hallway to each dome from the main living space? You could make the arch hallway from the living room feed three domes by teeing the hallway. Would give you space in your main living space to have furniture on the wall, television, desk, etc. You could have the pantry hallway off the kitchen. You could also have the grow rooms hallway from the main entry dome so you are not walking though the main living area with dirt and other soils.

[@AircreteHarry]

I did think about that for the pantry and kitchen but not the grow room. I'm still playing around with the design. The hallways are 6 feet wide 9 feet tall so there is room to put things in the hallways. Thanks for the suggestion I'm going to put the two grow domes together and have one entry to free up wall space.

One thing you may not have thought about is tires being black will hold a lot of heat and unless those tires are covered up where they cannot get the Sun then that will be a big problem and if animals can get into them like rats and mice and birds and snakes and everything else they will make a home in them. Bees and wasps and Yellowjackets will be another problem if they can get inside the tires as well as water which will create mold.

[@GalloPazzesco]

WageslaveUranus just curious but where in nature might I find a honeycomb built horizontally rather than vertically and, if by chance you can point me to them I need to meet their waterproofer and gutter men. Now, with that said and if we're talking nature at its best then egg shaped domes with the lower one third under ground for water or other storage .... acting like a ballast, and with all domes connected in an egg carton configuration ... yeah, then that's horizontal but still exceeds the current design in terms of stress and fracture resistance and super long term sustainability I would think, without crunching the numbers. The question would be, big end up or down and what would they all be seated in, sand or clay?

If skylights cost too much if could be cheaper to make them yourself by building a square wood frame, strech plastic sheet onto it, not too tight, then support the corners up so you can get underneath, then fill the top with water so you get the right kind of curve, coat the bottom with fibreglass a few times to get a stiff mold, then remove the water, wax it up then pour Clear Epoxy Resin on the inside of the mold, keep the mold moving around to evenly coat it. will have to get an additive for faster curing.

[@dennissorensen8765]

If you heat a sheet of plexiglass up fairly evenly, you can shape it over a mold of the right dimensions and just cut away the surplus. I guess it would be fairly strong. Otherwise I suppose it could be possible to use the triangles and build a skylight with several flat surfaces in that way. It will be heavier, but it would look pretty good, I think.
