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.

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

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

Interesting. Has the project advanced unto a production model?

Awesome...

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...

Where can one buy the kit?

"Making Ammonia From Nuclear Energy" Is a much better idea.

will the full size have a thicker wall?

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.

please study aircrete

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

Have there been any updates on this design?

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

the best way to remove the mold would be compressed air nipples in the middle of each panel at 24 inch and not to use staple but ties .I would like the full size one if its for sale.

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

IT'S AMAZING, WE HAVE BEEN SITTING ON THIS PRODUCT FOR OVER 100 YEARS AND NOW IT IS JUST COMING INTO FOCUS AS A RENEWABLE ENERGY. YOU SHOULD LOOK IN TO TUBA TUBA FRUIT GROWN IN THE PHILIPPINES, THEY USE IT AS FENCE MATERIAL BECAUSE GOATS WON'T EAT THROUGH IT. THEY SAY 2.5 ACRES PRODUCES LIKE (I think) A THOUSAND GALLONS OF BIO-DIESEL.

You can also make bio diesel fuel from tuba tuba fruit

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

My new engine will solve this using 6 fuels and NH3 via solar thermal on house via engine and NH3 storage. Run cars, house and electricity 100% renewable. Also works in seaplane!

My new engine is key to make this work.... read my tweets @seaplaneguy. Happy to discuss....

Here is an easy reusable forming method for domes. Basalt Rope Video for Ecoshell Domes kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7aVh5CFma7agHk.html Use basalt it will not rust www.monolithicmarketplace.com/collections/basalt-rebar-products

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 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.

Reason practical math should be required in our educational system

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

I am intrigued by the ammonia engine ever since I wrote a paper about the diesel engine and learned Rudolf Diesel was into ammonia engines before taking off with the diesel... I do wonder though, I realize the carbon is 0 when burnt but I wonder what the amount of carbon released by the ammonia production... (since it is made with coal etc...) how would that compare with fossil fuel's total footprint?

Have you built your full size model yet.

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.

Interesting but FAR more complex than the method used by Monolithic Domes out of Texas. Go to monolithic.org to see how to do it faster , easier and cheaper.

Thorium Sodium reactors are safe, 100% sustainable and cheap. We have far in excess of 4,000 years available if we go to 100% electricity from nuclear energy. Don't trust on the "Global Climate Change" boogie man to continue to scare people. Even Lincoln said you can't fool all of the people all of the time.

We actually intend to refurbish it and use it for trainings. Sorry.
