I’m impressed by the amount of time it takes to disassemble from the inside. Looking forward to seeing the next video to see what was done to finish it up.

Great idea. You did a great job of explaining it. Thank you.

Always interested in seeing a new dome building technique. I cringe anytime I see a dome with large external protrusions like that entry doorway. Totally ruins smooth airflow around the building

I appreciate your efforts, I see you went into a great deal of detail - this would never be practical to your target audience. Imagine trying to separate those Molds when they are increased by a factor of 3. The Dome Principal is sound, however I don't thing the Roof'd entry is necessary. *FerroConcrete* is an old but effective technique, the use of such molds are relatively new - free form armature structure has been used for a long time and it doesn't require mass effort to separate molds. Thanks for the video

Consider a flitting on the dome mold panels to use air pressure to help pop the panels off.

Preplastering... I recommend covering the assembled dome with 2 mil plastic (maybe shrink wrap) then adding 1/2” of plaster over the entire outside (future interior) of the structure, then the reinforcement, then the cement. Then when you remove the forms there will be less sticking and the plastic should give is a fairly smooth interior and the plaster will make it ready to paint after a little smoothing... also you could use fabric cloth, (the same shape, but a little larger than the dome pieces), to put on the wet cement and “paint” cement mixed with water and type 2 titebond wood glue (for flexibility) over the cloth. This would protect the cement from micro fractures and impact. I also recommend adding the glue to the entire cement mix...

11:55 I had Tool Time with Tim Taylor flashbacks.

I'm going to build one on a property I just purchased but I'm going to use another method. I'm going to try without the air form or a foam shell. Just rebar and lath. I'll film it and post it.

Awesome...

Ever think of using that plastic cardboard product as a form. That product is bendible and slippery, comes in 10ft lengths, use to be 10. a sheet until recently, probably $15. a sheet now at HomeDepot / I'm thinking of cattle panels 16 x 4 as a form with the plastic cardboard over and open weave fabric over the p. cardboard, than mesh wire, spray on papercrete. plastic cardboard can be used over and over. I have the plastic cardboard on the outbuildings and it looks as good as the day I put it on the buildings

Reason practical math should be required in our educational system

Have you built your full size model yet.

Interesting. Has the project advanced unto a production model?

I'm looking for a system like this. I'd like to do a utility shed and workshop to prove to myself I can do this. I live near Moscow Russia so energy efficient is as important as cost effective. I'd like to follow this technique. My only suggestion is using basalt rebar rather than steel rebar. It looks like you used basalt fiber mesh. So the structure looks stronger than done with steal and should last 200 years or longer.

will the full size have a thicker wall?

Have there been any updates on this design?

please study aircrete

Where can one buy the kit?

So - I cant find the full scale project anywhere. Did it actually go ahead ? There is already a commercial firm doing thin shell construction since 1979 www.monolithic.org

I'm curious as to who made the dome panels?

I can't fine a supplier of the 12 panel forms demonstrated here. Help please.

Why reinvent the wheel, poorly at that? This tech is already nailed down. www.monolithic.org
