Dario Busch's Recycled Green Building Material - Mix-11

[awshucks]

This guy may well be bs, but timbercrete (essentially what this is purporting to be like) is not bs. An Australian company is making inroads with the product.

Nice video, Check out my videos about Home Wind and Solar system intalling on the Rooftop. On Earth Day I won a green design contest for my home energy system the RoofMill. Have a look at my home wind turbine videos of installing and running Hybrid Energy Systems. Friends and Subscribers Wanted. Have a good day , Thanks, Sam

Invest in some radio microphones... the sound in your video is very bad.

Nice Vid...We've posted a short (under 2 minute) video about Reclaimed Lumber called "A Tree Can Live Forever" that you might find interesting... click on our name to see it.

The house walls that they showed show no interlocking keys ...what a joke looks like a preschool clay block .

The guys a fraud and that is why there are so many charges against him .

Do some research .

Interesting stuff. Good luck with that. New stuff takes time to get into the market.

Some areas of the country do not really have building codes.

Start with barns and machine sheds in Montana where there are no building codes and then work your way back to the city.

Why trust this guy?

He is in jail on drug charges.

In court papers he claims to be unemployed and broke.

Has he actually built a single house in the past ten years with this material?

3 - Strength.. Sledge hammer tests and such aside, real MPa ratings for compression and tension need to be posted.

Materials that are poured into forms like this are usually very strong in compression, but very weak in tension. An example of this would be concrete that has a compressive strength of 30MPa, and a tensile strength of effectively zero, which is why reinforcing steel is required at all locations of tension... Does this product need something similar?

[Maxmcl]

Although I'm all for products like this, there are definitely problems that a material like this poses:

1 - Electrical wiring.. All wiring would either have to be exposed conduits running all through the house since there are no wall cavities

2. Vapor Diffusion.. Is the product breathable like masonry and wood? How does water vapor behave and would a product as impermeable as this put more stress for vapor pressure differences at susceptible locations like doors and windows?

Using sustainable building materials, such as reclaimed wood, metal, bricks can reduce the environmental impact of a home improvement project

[markhinr]

Your claims do indeed sound too good to be true. Using recycled wood and fly ash to make precast structural building panels sounds like a wonderful idea. But, your claims that your product goes "way beyond EnergyStar" and "R-100+ Self Insulated (Super Energy Efficient)" sets off SCAM alarms. If you believe your claims to be true then you need to back them up with some actual information, not just a lot of hype. As a sustainable designer with 40 years experience, I would say, Buyer Beware!!!

there's no need for structural support in these wall panels?? usually when you see something being poured like this there is a ton of re-bar in there......pretty amazing

What up mr. Dario? Thanks for the good info's, my brother ; ) peace
