Geodesic Dome Greenhouse - Part 1 - Overview

This is the first of a series of videos that will detail how to build a geodesic dome greenhouse.

I am sure, as intelligent as your videos are, that you have already discovered the Rocket Stove. If by chance you haven't, please take the time to check it out. Next step technology in burning carbon fuel.

@t1l1m Make sure you check out my video called "Rocket Mass Heater prototype" ;-)

[web4deb]

Mostly a standard miter saw and table saw. I may use a radial arm for some of it. That will be in video #3. #2 will be making the hubs which I will post in a couple of weeks!

I love what you are doing

I thought you might be interested in What we are doing in Colorado.

I am linking you to a video showing What your dome might look like

[web4deb]

@udgarparsons You're the king of the domes! If I wasn't so much of a weekend warrior, I would buy one. Stay tuned for the next video in a few weeks. I'm going into the hub designs....not as elegant as yours, but since I have a bunch of the materials on-hand, it's what I'm going with. You're just a few steps away from having aquaponics in your setups....just have to get rid of the dirt! ;-)

I'm sure efficiency is a pretty big deal for your winter heat. Have you researched rocket mass heaters? Googleing rocket stove pops up some good results on how to build one. If you're burning wood anyway, you might as well burn it effeciently. And the kicker, it releases no smoke, just CO2 and steam.

[web4deb]

@phalegh Yes, thanks. Unfortunately, they don't meet the building code. Sorry.

@t1l1m do a search for russian stove or masonry stove. ... uses a fraction of the wood and turns the entire structure into a "radiator"

[shebirths]

We're going to be taking on this project! So excited to see what you've done!

wonderful its amizing

@web4deb great stuff. been trying(unsucessfully) to find a link to a guy who made a diy small wind turbine that pushed a rod operating a bellows . the bellows was underground and was connected to two runs of pipe dug in at different depths..either recirculating his home (aircon) or (heating) or keeping his driveway free of ice in winter. the deeper pipe(warmer air) recirculated into his home or drive. think this would also heat your dome. bellows was an old oil drum with two flaps .and piston

Will you be using a Radial arm saw for the cuts?

[udgarparsons]

love to see how you get along
