This video is about how to build an Aircrete foam generator for a reasonable price. I was able to build this for about $85 because I got the diaphragm pump on Ebay used and had the air regulator sitting in my garage from another project. Let me know in the comments section if you have any questions.
I got the foam concentrate from richway.com/construction-prod... You will have to call them to order it and it is $50 for a gallon.
Here is a link to the Foam Generator schematic drawing that was in the video. drive.google.com/file/d/1rMhH...

Here is a parts list of the items you will need to make this generator. I didn’t use either of these pumps so you may need some clamps or fittings that I didn’t use to make either of these pumps work. I found my pump used on eBay and usually there are used pumps for sale in the $40-$60 range. Hope this helps.

So m8, stop saying concrete because its not. Its aircrete, cememt water and foam. Not concrete which is cement water aggregate or stone and sand. Terminology is important. Tks.

You're the first aircrete builder I've found who is willing to share info instead of selling info. Liked, subbed, bell rang, and I'll be sharing with my family.

Thanks for the video and the schematic. I used your for the basis of my design with a couple of tweaks. I did not ability to weld up a box, so I just bought a 20" toolbox with metal latches. I also put a "equipment switch" that has the three prong mail adapter. That allows me to remove the cord and store in one of the lid storage areas. I put my suction tube in the other lid storage. The interior tray fits the 13" wand and hose. All in one need box you can carry and store easily.

I just did a quick calculation, your foam comes at 7 cents per gallon for foaming agent, if that is of interest.

I just built a foam generator so that I can experiment with making air Crete. I chose to use Ajax dish detergent for the test just because I have it already and on my first test I used 6 ounces of soap to 1 gallon of water and the foam comes out pretty nice but I’m still experimenting. I haven’t tried it yet but I also have been told that adding glycerin to the soap helps with holding the structure of the bubbles. I will do a test

Thank you very much for explaining how this works. Some KZfaq channels are charging for the information. Good on you for posting this up - Thanks!

How much of that solution is water versus other chemicals (percentage wise)? And how safe are those chemicals to use? Do you need to worry about aircrete off-gassing VOCs?
