Will definitely be buying a 5-gallon bucket. I hope you will share some recipes once you get more experience with this new addition to the product line.

Thank you for this excellent explanation!

There used to be a company called AI domes (American Ingenuity). They had a great concept of forming concrete triangles that fit together to create the dome shape. I wonder if AirCrete can also make triangular shapes. Great video!! Thanks

That's called ....sheet. it's something sheet I don't remember. It's made of a lot more than foam. I thing they also use some plant waste or something. It's a trademarked thing I guess

Hi! great stuff!! what is the fiber coating that you guys put inside and outside of the structure to protect the aircrete? also does it get affected by hot / cold if its built in colder climate? will it crack or start leaking water etc? i'd like to get some details about that coating process if possible, as I did not see any videos about that part of the build thank you !

My thought on this, and I've been searching for anything I could even try, is something that would leave a hollow reinforced sphere behind. Seems like that would improve the strength of the aircrete by a lot. The only option I've come up with (that I have yet to be able to test) is a very thick sodium silicate (water glass) solution, that was aerated or foamed then mixed with the concrete (perhaps with some flow control additive to cut down on water and get a stronger and more thorough mix). I'm probably not going to get to that experiment that anytime soon, But I figured I'd pass the notion along in case any of yall thought it was a good idea. just out of curiosity- have you guys tried closed cell foam insulation? like the 2 part stuff for insulating metal buildings. I'm just curious what happens if you mix that with concrete. it probably wouldn't work, but I just wonder.

What is the compressive strength of this aircrete VS dish soap or drexel??

I have a dream to build homes out of bamboo in the shapes of hexagons and I would be interested to find out if I could use air Crete or foam Crete or whatever it’s called on the exterior

Why not using ready made blocks from Hebel or Ytong? It is a mass product and not very expensive…

Thanks. Will quart sizes be available?

Yes, the smaller sizes should be available next month.

Have you encountered air crete block or wall cracking after your builds months or a few years later ? If so how do you mitigate that problem so it doesnt happen again.

How do these domes hold up in cold weather and snow loads?!

No I don't think it is useful for "a lot of parts of the world" many have alpha olefin sulfonate available which is way cheaper than both options. It's only expensive in the states for the most part. especially the most populous parts of the world (east asia (india, china etc)) they'd be foolish to use anything else the foam product looks as good as that syntheticff foam

@MrRobertjparsons 3 ай бұрын

yes I just googled it, alpha olefin about 10X cheaper than merlcrete by the 55 gal drum

Mearlcrete-S is a synthetic , that mean it is TOCSIC !!!

@domegaia 3 ай бұрын

Synthetic does not mean toxic. Seventh Generation Dish Detergent also has synthetic ingredients. There are plenty of naturaul (non-synthetic) substances that are highly toxic so it's not wise to conflate synthetic with toxic or natural with safe.

@0relaxis0 3 ай бұрын

@@domegaia It's hard to say what the chemical composition has Mearlcrete®-S, because you don't have at data sheet of product . Most chemicals are made from petroleum, and its products are toxic. By the way, I want to build a house in my country using a foaming agent, but 100% natural/orgnic only.

Why don't you just use sodium C14 - 16 alpha-olefin sulfonate

I dunno. These peeps are above board with sustainability, and I appreciate well-researched options. Better r-value Longer lasting bubbles All in all, "big picture" sustainability over the long term seems reasonable.
