Yes haiti is a good example

[GIGNica]

Even though these homes have metal rebars, are earthquake proof?

[adrianhopper]

in a word! brilliant!

[GlaciusNLV]

[spinceara]

very interesting

[tmomof6]

OMG ITS LEGO BLOCKS! YES!

[animalnt]

guys shut the fuck up about the machine, no one will sell them to you over youtube

[Angelsum143]

Where can we purchase the machine?

[Nandwa]

i want to buy the manual machine in finland anyone know where i can get

[ElGatoLoco698]

Amazing how the government helps the tsunami victims in a 3rd world country build new homes. Albeit a small home. But in the US, the most wealthy country in the world, our government wouldn't think about rebuilding a home for a citizen. Just look at New Orleans. Sure, they gave them temporary housing but those people that lost their homes and didn't have insurance are now SOL.

@ElGatoLoco698 you are right crazy cat

[waellerbe]

I love to hear about innovative building techniques that offer healthier and more cost-effective building methods for home owners.

Rebar? see 1:41 and 3:51

[mozartgenetics]

I have seen this press in a couple of videos. Can anyone tell me where to get it? Thank you.

[khoune3kv]

What's the name of the machine at 4/20 and where could you buy them?

[wkumatchstick]

concrete legos

[HeadShot360IN]

If you see that there are steel and re-bar buildings that are fallen over from pussy waves, what the fuck will non-cemented bricks going to stop?

[cmread61]

@HeadShot360IN Can you get your point across without using such vulgar language?

[robinyatesph]

I cannot understand in a tsunami/earthquake area there is no need for rebar

[lrd9999]

Cool! No termites, and no need to cover the outside with tacky vinyl siding.

[dimitriosart]

where can i buy this machine? Only $1,500?

[Jefferdaughter]

Better than these machines - in many situations - is the manually operated version that makes one brick at at time.

An alternate to stell re-bar is to build up the walls as true masonry walls; ie they would be thick to be able to support their own weight, like many old masonry buildings in Europe and the US (not brick faced)..

[bigt2318]

I want to buy one of those machines but can't find info anywhere. Help?

@bigt2318 ITAL MEXICANA HAS MACHINES THAT YOU MAY BE INTERESTED

[MrShoeguy]

I hope those villagers know that without the steel re-bars in the walls they are living in one serious death trap.

Google the Iranian earthquake. 40,000 dead when their brick walls fell over on them.

[isantimn]

@MrShoeguy Did you see the rebar in the video?

[XCritonX]

@MrShoeguy That is the point, its population control, that's why its only used in poor areas.

[wakeups2012]

@MrShoeguy THE BLICKS HERE IS FOR POOR PEOPLE HOUSE . NO SECOND FLOOR!!!!!!!!

I think we should control the number of kids we can have. Too many people, not enough jobs, China and India close to a billion in each country. US close to 400 million. Yeah, not enough food for everybody.

[brettkling]

That is an amazingly simple process. These just need to be distributed freely or at VERY low cost to villagers around the globe. Maybe the Gates foundation would be interested in this.

[coolestaquarian]

could you please give me further details regarding the quality of bricks, manufacturing know how / equipment their cost etc. at the earliest

[manorin]

Expect a call from the Lego organization

[ajayeire]

@pleabargain the longevity is really good .. it is called CSEB in INDIA or compressed stabilized earth blocks. The longivity is more than that of concrete, but the mortar used is lime mortar from the shells found on beaches which would help the structure to gain more strength every year than the conventional concrete ones..

but I think strength of the block must be proven with crush testing if it is used on load-bearing structures

[anilao87]

If to be utilized in the US as a form of Low income housing, does it provide insulation value?

[ajayeire]

@anilao87... to be sure.. you can't call it INSULATION, but since it is made out of earth and some cement to stabilize it.. it might produce a temperature difference of upto 5 degrees inside the building .. the building would be around 5 degrees cooler on the inside... and for more theramal insulation and resistance to freeze-thaw cycles you can finish it with foamed concrete up to 1/4 to 3/4 inch thickness on either side..

[Starduster1000]

40-50 procent cheaper doesnt impress much but the ease of building does.

[classy64jas]

Amazing... you don't even need steel rods, called "kabilla" in R.P. to keep them aligned.

[mariocsm]

I would like to buy one of this machines?

[ninyae]

How about just a straight mud brick mix?

[ajayeire]

@ninyae... Around only 5% of cement is added to the mix which would help stabilize it..without the cement it would be more prone to withering

[Bigrignohio]

Actually it looks like they are cured (look at the care they had to use with the dark "just out of the press" brick vs the lighter-colored ones used in the building). These sort of systems do use water, just not as much as concrete requires.

Nice work. keep it up. mean time come for social media marketing for esteembpo**com HK
