How Super Adobe Houses are Made | The Henry Ford's Innovation Nation

On this segment of The Henry Ford's Innovation Nation, Alie Ward shows us the innovation of beautiful homes made of earth.
Using a combination of earth, sandbags, barbed wire, and arch principles, super adobe houses can provide inexpensive housing for refugees or people who are homeless. Super adobe homes can also withstand extreme weather conditions and use only about 1/3 of building materials that a traditional structure requires.

What makes this adobe "super"? Why does adobe need to be put in bags? And held up with barbed wire? How is this cheaper than plain adobe?

[@carsonc4134]

The word “gimmick” comes to mind

[@MarciaTobolsky]

the way the Adobe buildings are from long ago is just a new technique to added to make it more secure and is an economical, ecosystem-friendly, solution for areas that need housing at a good price.. Good video!

These houses are still very expensive we have very affordable ideas for making houses specially in Countries where people have no Houses.

[@sandyovals]

[@yarukaribana2652]

Not only us indigenous people but the Sumerians and the Egyptians and other African peoples built earth houses 🙏🏽♾

*invented

[@terryharris1291]

How come they were also in most other parts of the world at the same time or even before.

[@IRGhost0]

Every civilization on earth was building homes out of soil, clay, sticks, leaves, and any other natural material they had on hand.

[@datt5698]

Not exactly. Sand bag houses(super adobe) are a little bit different than regular adobe.

Omg Alie Ward!

[@sidneystallworth1429]

How much would a Super Adobe Home, a small one

[@operator9858]

my math is a bit old but with all the stuff you could likely have a decent place for like $10-20 or 25k and its easy to do but its time consuming to fill the bags or make bricks. especially if you fire them.

The amount of vocal fry of Ms Khalili is overwhelming

[@sandyovals]

That's the California accent my man (for women atleast) .. you can thank the Kardashian's for that.

Very awesome 👍👍👍

[@omerkarakaya1744]

Hi are you planning a trainin in the near future ?

[@joecheagaray]

Is it legal in Michigan?

[@Vyes]

You should ask why you would in Michigan too. Adobe houses reqire more maintenance in non dry environments.

[@buckettest]

Earthquake proof... That claim is not entirely accurate. The other claims are pretty legit though. This building concept is awesome, if only zoning and codes would let us use it more!

[@terryharris1291]

Yes they are ,in Nepal these were the only builds to not go down during thee big earthquake a few years ago.ON one of the Pacific Islands earth bag were also the only homes to survive a hurricane.

[@--Morpheus--]

They got their patent in the CA with the highest standards for earthquakes

[@TimJameson-jg8sl]

Ripped off idea😢
