This makes me believe in the dream 🥹

Couldn’t you just build the wall with rammed earth Vice tires? I realize tires would then not be recycled/re-proposed but the labor saving would be huge! Thank you

Fossil fuel burning has to stop soon. Please, stop saying crap like this. This is a totally untrue statement. OMG, Earthship are not the solution. If everyone had an Earthship and grow their own food we would have to cut down every tree in the world.

water is not recycled into a loop.

The battery system I designed to utilize super capacitors during peak hours and the 30 cell system for your own energy so the super capacitors charge your batteries and your batteries are located in a water trough that has a float on them to win the water becomes increase temperature they begin flow the water is ran back into the Buffalo so there's no waste

I have designed a system that allows the person to collect abundance of water and I designed it so that the energy source has no where they have solar panels that actually produce condensation and little to know humidity now the feature that I designed works much more efficiently when it is raining so if the Earth ships rough collects water that is a plus but your air conditioner condenser lines produce an abundance of water during a rainstorm even when there is only fog if it rained the day before or just rain your AC is produce up to 150 gallons an hour or as little as a gallon but to know this if you don't stay in the airship for 6 months and you allowed the AC's to run from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. very humid seasons you'll come to find that you could have up to 150,000 gallons of water in reserve in less than a year especially during El nino effect

You say the solar panels last 30 years, but the inverter will last maybe 5 to 7 years. Older panels are very inefficient too.

Combine shipping container with earth ship old tyres etc build greenhouse front ,tadaa done.

Excellent Educational Segment

I wonder why they don't use biogas septic tanks for gas usage.

Hippies You will need ~20 hippies to show up on time at your remote site to pound tires, set timber rafters and do masonry work.

Could they be scaled up into apartments?

What about fossil fuel from transport use, i guess all these guys still drive cars?

How do they get the solid matter out of the septic tank? I imagine over time it will build up and become full.

Why do they put cardboard in the tyres?

cool i didnt know there were saguaro cacti in baja sur

So many good ideas -- which are only realistic based on demographic realities of the '70s -- when young labor was plentiful and cheap.

I wonder if these people would come to Arkansas to build a house like this for me.

Why would you send gray water straight to the plants you're going to eat? I would at least cycle it through egg shells or clam shells and reed beds

The can walls are such an imbecilic idea... Aluminium is 99% recyclable, and it's cheaper to recycle it than to mine it... And these idiots turn the cans into garbage that will never be recycled only so that they can make a shitty partition - because that is NOT a wall - using CO2 intensive cement, and more of it than if they just used bricks which are literally made out of dirt... Why are these idiots not just building using traditional, historical methods? Unfired mud bricks are perfectly fine for the climate they choose to build these things in.

We want in how do we get ahold of the place

All the old world architecture looks like machines.

Once buried do the cisterns get inspected for mold or dirt? Or do you test the water for bacteria on a schedule?

I wonder if this could work i tropical climates

Really looking forward to learn the technique

Seeing all ur videos its becoming my dream to build natural building home

Tell me you smoke too much weed and live in a hippie camp without telling me you smoke too much weed and live in a hippie camp...

Except for several lies and bending of some truths in the video, it was actually a really good video. I have been following Michael for 20 or more years now. I lovemthe earthship design Except for the part about always having to live in it as it requires constant adjustments to the ventilation system. Michael really needs to come up with an automated system that controls all incoming and outgoing air. Still love many of the concepts like the recycling of the water.

I appreciate your time to help the public out for understanding the concept of EarthShips

How can an earth ship be constructed it's COLD, WHERE RAIN IS CONSTANT and water excessive?

What if stuck somewhere underground and udon now which one then will be big mistake.

So well explain ! Thanks for sharing us your knowledge.😍

can earhship homes be build in hot wet tropical countroes like phillippines??? sadly i haved seen one here,

i am an architecture masters student looking to orientate myself towards these kind of systems. how can i proceed?

My question is, how is the longer term maintenance for the botanical cell? I would imagine a build up over time of contaminants. Wouldn't the botanical cell require up keep? what if particles over time filled the gravel space reducing water flow?

I loved the explanation, thank you!

I'd like to learn about how to build these. I am planning to build the first earthship in florida. I will be next to Disney world showing people how to build and learn about these houses also I'd have classes and no I would never take mr. Reynolds students because I'll charge much higher. I'm just kidding.

School or educational institutions should uses the earthship model for their buildings.

Hello, could you please translate in Spanisch?! Thank you!

This is the best video I have seen in a long long time! Wow, I am just blown away to see it all laid out so succintly!

Gallons? Argh use metric plz.

Lmao affordable, since when did quarter million dollars count as affordable?

The concept sounds really interesting to me. However one thing I keep wondering about: using grey water to water your plants. What if you wash something contanimated with heavy metals or have to take medication, these things will be part pf your grey water. These elements will get into your plants and your food through the water and it becomes a vicious cirle. How are heavy metals and soap are filtered out? He said they are filtered out, but does not go into specifics and I haven't found any explaination in the other earthship videos I watched so far...

What is about the poisons in the tires???

This is far to be the best way to recycle aluminium can and glass. This materials are easy recycled. It was beter if will be used plastic botels.

****How do you convince 30 plus people to work the ass off for free for multiple weeks during the best part of the year... I can't convince two buddies to help me move****

Вы это только поняли😄

I love this style of homes . We should be able to build any type of home depending where you like . Can’t have a earth ship home in downtown Boston . Lol but anyone who has 3 acres or more should be able to build these without being hassled by the government . They break balls on everything to get more $ in taxes .

That is not recycling, there is nothing green about it.

I fucking love/hate new mexico!
