Ernie has been talking about rocket stoves lately. This is the one I've designed and have been using for 7 years.
Graphene has emerged as one of the most promising nanomaterials because of its unique characteristic of being one of the thinnest yet the strongest material.
Here are some interesting ideas for dome homes and other things you could make from domes...
Dome homes have many structural advantages and have been built around the world in varied climates. These have proven to be a stable and efficient form of shelter with a natural resistance to external factors like earthquakes, high winds, and flowing
The search for sustainable alternatives to common plastics has researchers investigating how their building blocks can be sourced from places other than petroleum, and for scientists behind a promising new study, this has led them straight to the swe
Researchers at RMIT have developed a new method for quickly converting carbon dioxide into solid carbon, which can be stored indefinitely or turned into useful materials.
With 150 trees sprouting across 5 floors of terraces, balconies, and roof gardens, apartment complex "25 Verde" rises like a giant treehouse, a forest-building ecosystem combining geothermal energy, water reuse, and natural cooling.
HACKING AIRCRETE: The basic recipe for aircrete consists of cement, water and foam.

As useful as steel is, its main weakness may be its vulnerability to corrosion. Researchers in Korea have now developed a new alloy coating that boosts steel's resistance to rust, by adding a simple extra step in the surface treatment.
In a country with 3.4 million empty homes (of a total 11 million in the EU), architects Aixopluc have created a solution to quickly and affordably make an abandoned property habitable. They call it "Homeful" and it's a modular furniture system
Looking to build a house? Lumber prices tell you what direction prices are headed.
Properly sized wire can make the difference between inadequate and full charging of a battery system, between dim and bright lights, and between feeble and full performance of tools and appliances.
'Aircrete Harry' comes on to talk about building and construction with Aircrete, what he has learned over the years, equipment, materials, etc...
This week we are Running conduit underground for utility installation. It almost broke us. Also running 1" poly pipe for our water from the well house. We managed to get it done.
British scientists first created Graphene--one of the forms of nanocarbon that is only 0.3 nanometers thick--a million times thinner than a human hair, but it can withstand colossal loads!
These hempcrete blocks are a green building material made with a hemp-lime insulation mixture packed around a biocomposite structural frame. They can be stacked like bricks to build walls up to 30 feet high and they become the insulation and the str
Eden Project is a the largest greenhouse in the world built in Cornwall UK in Geodesic domes to show that humans can correct Climate change
The electric automaker explains that it can't get the critical material from any other sources.
Stephen Williams Styro Aircrete
The entire project is being documented with images, videos, and written instructions. It will be open source, so anyone can duplicate what we've done to avoid some potential errors and use all our advancements. This will be available on a website bei
Construction of the world's largest community of 3D-printed homes is expected to break ground next year in Austin, Texas.
This video has step by step instructions on how to build a 4 frequency Geodesic Dome. This dome took 6 hours to build using 250 lb heavy duty plastic Zip Ties and our patented geodesic dome hubs. The dome will support over 300 lbs and is made entirel
These units are fully equipped with a kitchen, bathroom, and a transforming living room and bedroom thanks to a murphy bed sofa setup. They are built by Hewing Haus and come in several different sizes and layouts, from 200-600 square feet.
First small-scale demonstration of a full-stack production line.
Originally built as shelters for farmers and their animals, his cabins are dry stone: stacked stones supported by their own weight without any mortar.

This video describes how to build with aircrete styrofoam, an alternative building method that uses 85% recycled material, is inexpensive, is very insulative, and fireproof. The video also discusses all of the amazing things and ways you can build wi
In todays video Ron from Atlas Survival Shelters (the worlds foremost authority in the bunker industry) we do a follow up to our first video. In this video Ron talks about the technical aspects of bunkers, what they can be used for and what they cant
