  • maddogza - I found it at Dr. Behrokh Khoshnevis's website (see description). I e-mailed him and he gave me permission to upload it for the world to see (it wasn't on youtube before). I hope you enjoyed.

  • Do you really WANT that shitty construction job? Ever worked in construction? It sucks. Wouldn't you rather live in a world where people did what they WANTED to do because material goods were abundant? Ever heard of the Zeitgeist movement? Check it out. "Jobs" are just another form of slavery - Economic slavery, because money is made of Debt and that's what they pay you with. Time to change the Paradigm!

  • this is not about building faster or about costs, its about developing ways to free humans from labor intensive tasks (or any task.) isnt that the objective of technology

  • I poo like that.

  • Amazing. Simply amazing.

  • God I want that machine. It's awesome..... Drooollllling...

  • Thought it was making a penis at the start!

  • 7 Masons dislike this video

  • could it build with hempcrete?

  • @timatlightbox It really doesn't look that hard to replicate...since as it is a concrete dispenser operating on guide rails directed by a algorithm which, when properly programmed, will repeat a sequence until the parameters set are reached - once finished, so is the dwelling. It's feasible and not beyond accomplishing to anyone who has enough knowledge regarding computers, robotics and architecture. No money really needed...

  • lol, do you really think these guys making this machine are going to release it for free to the world. I wish it were so. It's just I bet they have investors who made em sign contracts, and in those contracts it's worth x amount of $ and if you (the inventor) have probably lost your rights to do what you want with it :( Money is what people do things for. Until you can change your world outlook you will be stuck and also hold the entire technological development with the greedy 'want' of money!!

  • i like this video mainly because of the guys arguing below me :D
