Built number of steel homes back in the 80s in Southern California with my Dad. All still standing, no bugs, rot or even leaks. Steel roof as well. One thing that impressed the owners was the cost savings on insurance. Really adds up over the years.

[@jeffgough]

Cool video - thanks for sharing! I was a little perplexed how it went from showcasing the amazing bioceramic dome to spend even more time on the man living in a tent. It’s a cool tent and all…but doesn’t feel like that’s the real story here! Would be great to learn more about how waterproof the dome is, how the windows are installed, how heating/cooling works, how long before they’re available, etc. Has definitely prompted me to go seek out more info!

[@JasonCunliffe]

Yeah!! This video was really clickbait mis-titled Really wanted to know more about the material, design, assembly realities of how it how it behaves lived in for over at least a year... not to mention earthquake fire rain snow etc. We've ll been waiting SINCE 1960S FOR this to happen. Pehaps there is only one show prototype ? and the rest is all CG or AI rendering ? Lets hope its not just hype. 150,000 $ or € you can build all kinds of shelters The promise is to ramp up great modular designs that can be interop at scale for 1/10th of the price 2050 maybe

[@Gareth.W]

@@jeffgough totally agree. I'm really interested in geodesic domes used as houses, so the first part of this video was great. Then, all of a sudden, the focus shifted to the tent man... and I immediately lost interest. I wanted to hear more about this material they're developing, how scalable it is, how easy it would be to expand the structures once built, etc. I'd also be interested to know why he isn't living in one of the domes they're developing instead of living in a tent.

THIS!!! All new construction homes need to be built in a dome shape with sustainable weatherproof materials. Hurricane force winds will glide over aerodynamic shapes such as this.

[@futurevillages]

Absolutely 💯

[@WhiteWolfos]

Yes and no. It needs to be half sphere or less, like a bubble or preferably melted bubble. It weakens with less mass and sharp corners plus going over the 50 bend so I really doubt his claim of 300mph. All sides need to be secured and frame going into a heavy cemented foundation which a actual dome home survived over 300mph winds (all brackets secure on wood, heavy, at 40% sphere shape).

[@jorglange2666]

Try hanging a picture or putting up a shelf in a dome. Lots of wasted, difficult to use space is something to consider.

Never heard of "bio ceramics" before. Love this channel.

[@kirstendirksen]

I hadn't either. Morgan was also talking about how you can use a lot of waste materials as a source. Here's what he said, that I didn't end up using in the video: "It's natural in that it's like bone, but to get the raw minerals you need to mine them or use reclamation processes. One of the biggest byproducts of salt water desalination is 2 of the key raw ingredients that we need and one of the main byproducts from wastewater treatment plants is another one of the raw key ingredients and now we're finding as the mining operations ramp up for battery minerals that a lot of the waste streams from those operations we can use."

[@harryjones5260]

the interior texture is making the acoustics excellent

[@Geoship]

Just as the curved walls of a concert hall help sound move evenly throughout the space, the dome’s spherical design enables sound to travel smoothly. Instead of bouncing off flat walls, sound naturally disperses, creating a soft, enveloping effect. The bioceramic material in Geoship domes acts like an “acoustic blanket,” absorbing and softening sound waves. Rather than amplifying noise, it helps dampen it, creating a quieter, more peaceful interior.

They will need to develope a flood zone protected form with either a clear through basement platform... Like the tents Or ensure total water proofing to a roof escape hatch level.... the anchoring will need to be equally important and substantial but also ecologically and cost viable. There wasn't much discussion about the type and source of the carbon fiber used. It's currently produced from oil and gas in most commercial production. These sources have very high energy, water and CO2 levels. Though alternatives are being developed and it has problems. For ground anchoring rebar that is also on a par with this bio inspired ceramic Basalt fiber uses 1/10th and even less water....than even Glass fibers.

They also need to Contact Penn state University about their lighter 5x stronger, cheaper cleaner low carbon,low energy Lion glass production. 😎🤔🧙🏼‍♂️ Meantime they should start talking to housing charities ..Govts anyone who is willing to listen and experiment in the face of environmental problems ..

I and other people have been advocating for and assisting in alternative building construction for homesteaders trying to escape the plantation and declare their independence from the system, focusing on DIY skills and materials. We have been making our own dome kits for years, but using the traditional steel electrical conduit formed into struts and secured by bolts. This advancement of bioceramics seems awesome and likely solves the chief drawback of steel framed domes which is heat expansion when exposed to climate extremes like desert summers and winters. Learning the recipes for these bioceramics is likely one of the greatest boons to the homesteading movement. But it seems Geoship's mission, despite their claim, is to profit from keeping the recipes proprietary and secret, rather than sharing them with the world. That sucks.

[@ehlava7331]

I agree with this, they should share the system for DIY ppl. There is nothing altruistic going on here, this is a business, and there is nothing wrong with that. I would assume there is an open source group somewhere for this sort of thing, though. It does not look that complicated but does look very labour intensive, of course. I could see another system using the same product but in a traditional shape also.

[@Wayfarer889]

This is exactly what I thought when I watched this video! It is exactly what I'd been energetically yearning for, but couldn't see. Now I can. I can't wait! This is so exciting.

Thank you for making this video, this really is revolutionary

So awesome & not too far my neck of the woods. I’m looking into this option more. Thanks!

Love the idea! USA needs to stop building stick homes. Insurance is going to be unaffordable for most people. If there is any insurance companies left.

[@futurevillages]

It's not only an idea, its a regenerative movement with $125 Million in pre-orders. You can co-own it too, just check the site for details.

[@dreed7312]

@troyb.4101 who are you to tell others what type of house to build? Geodesic are extremely wasteful. These are crummy little houses. There's nothing "Eco" about them. They're sitting on sandy, cheap, useless soil with little water and probably hauling everything in buckets.

@dtreed ...u r entitled 2 your POV but your logic sucks: =SOIL =see Permies eg : Andrew Millison and regreening the desert in Africa . 1/Geo dome encloses THE most space -vs-materials 2/Strongest-vs-adverse weather.See Dane Wiggington+weathet wars. 3/Revolve out entrained-brained cul-de-sac nonthink BS. in2 explore,improve,revise. No pointy structures here = = sovereign ❤ communities rule ❤ ❤ Observe and contour , follow Nature . Gaia rules ❤

I lived in a 300 sq ft geo dome with my wife and son for just under a year. I LOVED living in a dome, but the PVC cover, made it SUPER toxic inside. But overall, I would 100% invest in this. I can say though, that the 2-3 people working on it to take 2-3 days is a bit misleading. If you know what you're doing, it's that fast, otherwise it's quite a feat assembling all those pipes in the right order. Hopefully you all have simplified this process, cuz the set up for the dome was unreal.

Love your videos, keep them coming! 🙌

Thank you Kristen and family🙏❤️. I would love to create a dome Eco village!

The tent thing looks awesome. I could never it would literally kill me, but it looks cool.

Better homes alone is an inadequate solution in Florida. The other two parts are a wise location and power supply. 😊

[@BS-detector]

Right! Hurricane force winds are one thing...flooding is quite another.

[@andyroubik5760]

Another part is our growing population! ZPG! We cannot live on this planet sustainably with so many of us

Inside is aesthetically pleasing ... cocoonlike. Bearing the doubling in insulation factor R, I wonder how the dome handles extremes of temperature?

[@RegenerativeLiving]

I slept in a Geoship and it does feel cozy and cocoon-like inside, providing a unique blend of aesthetics and comfort. Their bioceramic domes feature excellent thermal insulation with high R-values, doubling the typical insulation factor, making them highly energy-efficient and climate resilient. The dome shape, combined with advanced materials, helps regulate indoor temperatures naturally, reducing the need for heating and cooling. Whether it’s extreme cold or heat, the dome’s structure and insulation keep things stable and comfortable inside, even in harsh climates.

[@orangesunlabs]

Love the automated tinting and venting thought, I've visualized that for a retreat I'd love to start one day on Earth. Another idea I've visualized is to have the floor space be sunken into the earth to redeem free geo-heat, as I understand around 8 feet deep it is around 52 degrees.

This is so obviously the future. Reminds me of seeing the iPhone for the first time.

[@troiskilove3411]

Absolutely great video, very informative and answered many of my questions.

[@jamieclarke321]

Good to see they built some prototypes. This bioceramic material is definitely very interesting. I wonder if it’s actually a geopolymer?

[@RegenerativeLiving]

Yes bioceramic geopolymer composite :)
