I'm building one here on the big island out of tires filled with aircrete and lava rocks approximately 20 by 30
I am also asking for plans & details of the parts and construction of the mixing & pumping system please. I am grateful you have shared such a brilliant idea & process. Thank you

Hi people, I have been redoing the walls to my house. The steel frame was diamond drill rods and colums were made into concrete piers. Walls were .500 mm thick, yes a half meter thick infilled with squared wooden logs. It ended up shrinking and I got some dry rot and decided to pull all the wood out and do it in aircrete. Big job on my own but satisfying. It is a 2 story and I am building a rocket mass heater in it later. I have built one of these for my pottery studio and highly recommend. I have been trying to get more info on applying fiberglass netting on the outside. What sort of mix etc if anyone knows. O love the way your doing it, I mix up 160 litres at a time and do about 10 mixes a day but I have to have a rest after that as I'm 70 in a couple of months. Great to see other people experimenting and doing it all. My r value is gonna be something else which will be good for Tasmania. Keep at it and God bless.
Looking forward to the follow-up video -would be helpful to see Bruce’s mixing/pumping setup, etc.
Coming soon!
Great job innovating a way to make and pump QUANTITIES of aircrete. Thanks for sharing.
How cool that Bruce figured out how to streamline the process, can't wait to see the final house!! Maybe I can make it over to see it when it is done...
Are you insane? He could have made that much aircrete in one morning with a small commercial rig and tilt wall technique.
Coming from Germany where I did build with LIAPLAN blocks my house, I got really annoyed with building 2x4 frames, isolating, drywall, water protection painting, mudding, sanding etc. in my Canadian house. It is such a waste of time, lots of work compared to build with blocks. I’m now in Panama where I’m in the process of building my last house. I thought about aircrete but I won’t get a building permit for it. So I will use concrete blocks. But not like locals use them. Even in the Philippines I realized that locals there don’t understand the importance of using air as insolation against heat or cold. Here they fill up the whole blocks with concrete. Ridiculous waste of material and money. But I am happy that I will not have to do 2x4 drywall work again!
Yes, we in Europe are lucky as for the aircrete (porocreate). Just select a product out of many available and the next day the pallets with blocks, lintels, glue or mounting foam and basic tools as extra for free land on your plot... And the material has stable performance, is tested and approved and has superb R value thanks to carefully developed additives.
How exciting! Will follow the process :)
That's quite the setup! 😎
Excellent construction! Have him file patents for the equipment.
I just tested a block we made yesterday its 18" X 36" X 7" thick, it took the weight of the front end of a pickup and did not break. We also left the truck parked on the brick and still we had success. I would be interested in getting the plans if they are available for the mixing station you created. Good Luck in your ventures!!
Not sure I'll draw plans for the mixer/pumper contraption. It's really pretty straightforward. The upcoming update video should go a long way toward answering questions.
Provided the foam generator could keep up, that installation could benefit greatly from having an aircrete hopper to spray out of. Get an old stock tank from a rancher or some place like TSC, fill it to capacity and go to town. You could run that thing all day with just a few refills. Efficiency is your friend; work smarter, not harder. 😉
I'm doing a modified aircrete workshop dome with a geodesic frame in my backyard, hopefully before the end of the year🤞(gotta space it out for budget reasons) , though as I make my own graphene, it will equally be a proof-of-concept project, too. I've got some sneaky/exciting ideas I've been wanting to try out for years, and now I can do them all in one go.
Please do a video showing much more detail on their equipment!!!
We did a video on this. Check it out th-cam.com/video/UT_3Q48pUVg/w-d-xo.html
Proud to call Bruce a friend and helluva trumpet player, too!
Yeah but guess what. He should have bought or rented a small commercial cellular concrete machine, or at least a commercial foam generator. Watching this video makes it look like aircrete is really hard when it isn't. All this Domegaia stuff looks like a waste of time and money. They do look like very nice folks though. Please don't delete this lol.
I will reply to my own comment by saying that tilt wall aircrete is miles better than pouring into vertical forms.
I would like to see the exact details of the mixing and pumping system, please...
There's an update video currently in the works. There'll be more information about our mixer/pump contraption.
This is interesting!
Thanks, it's been a learning intensive project!
Love the pressure vessel approach! Are you selling plans on your design? Willing to pay!
@@rongray4118 No, but I'd be happy to talk about about what we've done and it's shortcomings so you can improve the design.
Impressive!
Super interested in the follow up, more pump details, and how they handled the cold joint.
Wow, curious to see how that works out for them! The next lift/layer is going to get interesting.
They are 4-5 rows up, we were going to make another video, but the weather got too cold, so we will follow up in the spring. Stay tuned!
@@domegaia looking forward to the followup!
Travel the aircrete in a old would crain , make a big scale/weight balance and have one side hold a long tube with a hose and valve on the end,
The other side of the weight is just a counter balance and make the center pivot point on a spindle,
One guy pulls ropes to twist the balance and move the tube&hose where it needs to be and another guy using the valve and hose
I'd be interested in seeing a more indepth video on the diy pumping system
Thanks! we are planning a more in-depth video in the spring.
@Dome Gaia any idea when a video on the pump will be up?
@@SteampunkStevevideo has been shot, and is being edited now. 👍
I am excited about this home! I hope we get to get a video experience of it once it’s completed! I am definitely interested in building a dome home in a few years in Florida currently living in California. I plan to retire in two years and then start this project! This makes me excited :-)
We are too! Walls are nearly done, and we're excited to start in on the roof.
@brucecoutant4874 have you made any videos of it? I would love to see how it looks now.
Are you glad you went with aircrete or do you regret it at all?
Is there a builder in north Mississippi that’s building this kind of home?
You can contact us through domegaia.com to find out about builders.
...links to Bruce and Susan proyect, please...!?
Sorry, but there's really not much else to offer right now. I met the Domegaia folks when they were doing an aircrete demonstration. We talked about our project and they offered to come out and do this video.
Would like to see an update on this home.
It's in the works. Joel came and shot more video a few weeks ago... 🙂
Would like designs for your tools.
Do you have an update on Bruce and Susan's home project?
Here is the latest video th-cam.com/video/wXYPnrE28Jg/w-d-xo.html
What was the song that was playing prior to @0:56? I REALLY like it.
Our next project is making a 4' X 8' panels to use as cladding or the wall itself on structures to alleviate thermal bridging if your are interested let me know I can follow up with pictures and recipes.
I have heard that u get a R value of 6 per inch!!
I've heard that too. There are other methods of making aircrete that may yield higher R-values, but I think R6 is crazy talk.
The blue foam available at the lumber yard is only rated at R1.5. I have a hard time believing aircrete could be multiple times better.
Sell plans Bruce.;)
The update video is coming.
It will answer all. 🙂 hopefully...
Give the structural need of a slab with turndown, is the aircrete formula adjusted for higher compressive strength? I understand the formula get get to as high as 300 psf. Also, are Bruce and April considering aircraft for the roof? Waiting for the Spring update!!
The roof will be conventional(ish). I haven't really seen a way to make an aircrete roof structure, that isn't a dome yet.
@@brucecoutant4874 could styro aircrete work as a roof or would it still require enough containing structure that you might as well just use some conventional insulation?
@@johnassal5838 in my opinion the only viable way to do an aircrete roof is with some sort of dome structure. As soon as the structure comes from a wood or steel frame, aircrete just becomes expensive insulation.
Just my opinion though.
I am in southern Colorado. Is there an opportunity for a visit? What did they do for engineering?
We are in a building code free county here, so I'm responsible for the success or failure...
I'm sure we could arrange a visit. You can reach me through Facebook.
When I get home I am definitely going to look you up on Facebook!
@@brucecoutant4874 I sent you a friend request to facebook. My husband and are planning a build somewhat similar to yours. Thank you for sharing your experiences!
@@krussellgal I'm sorry, but I'm pretty sure I deleted your request. Please send me another.
I clicked on your - "what is aircrete : link above- 404 PAGE NOT FOUND . I look forward to the follow up article of their house.
When i was playing around with aircrete i was adding cut up fiberglass mats and getting about four times the strength. Are you adding fibers for strength?
It is true that you can add fiber and will greatly increase the tensile strenght. We don't do this because it is not nessisary when building a dome shape.
I’m looking to use Aircrete to envelop a home made out of shipping containers. Do you have any videos on how you increased your production? Also, was wondering about expansion joints
Maybe i missed it but how long does it need to cure before moving frames up and adding the next layer? Thanks this is all so interesting
We start raising the forms the morning after we pour.
Is rebar or other framing used inside to structure the walls, or is the 12” thick enough to support itself?
There are 4" round columns on either side of all the door and window openings, and about ever 4 feet between openings.
Theres nothing easy about hard werk
Hey Bruce - I'm also interested in making a house with vertical, flat walls, but the roof is another question. I'd like to have the entire envelope aircrete. Will you be using aircrete for the roof and if so, how?
I am looking in to doing this also and am hoping we get to see if/how they do their roof.
Because aircrete has such low compressive strength, and near nonexistent tensile strength, I really don't see a way aircrete could make a panel that would span much of any distance.
@@krussellgal our roof will be a wood frame. I have yet to see a way of making an arcrete work roof that I'd feel comfortable with. There very well may be a way, but I haven't seen it yet. (Domes excluded of course.)
Hey Bruce, I build concrete houses in Philippines, my own all concrete house is 20,000 sq ft. Its a mansion on the beach. Walls are non structural, we build our own Concrete Hollow Blocks, 150 a day and thats about how many my mason lays down. I pour flat deck roofs, really useful. I can talk all day but first thing I notice is I would build all necessary footings, tie beams, ground beams, columns and roof deck beams. All of it with the regular 1,2,3, mix if concrete. We use a mixer and transport by buckets and use vibrator. Anyway I would do all non structural with the Aircrete. Im going to do all non structural above ground floors to save weight.
What recipe are you using?
We're using the Domegaia reciepe with Drexel 160.
This is TH-cam, I didn't click on this to watch you sit there and talk!
Any updates on this project?
We have an update on this coming out tomorrow.
This is very interesting! How will u do your electric in these pours? I would like to see a 2 foot pour!
We ran tubes in the wall at outlet and switch heights. We'll cut boxes into the aircrete and access those passages.
We ended up not trying a 2' pour. We decided to not push our luck. Plus it's pretty normal for us to do 14 batches on a pour day, and that takes us about four and a half hours. I'm pretty sure 28 batches would be more than this old body could handle.
It would have been nice if he would have actually showed the process,not just talked about it.
We are planning a follow-up video in the spring with more details. Stay tuned!
Is the house done? Can we see it ?
We have an update video coming out tomorrow. It's not done but they are making progress.
Do you use rebar?
Good question. You typically do not use rebar in aircrete, but you do coat the outer layers with reinforcing mesh and stucco. Its strength works more like a surf board where the aircrete is like the foam inside.
There are concrete columns on either side of wall openings, and then 4' on center. The columns have rebar.
What's the roof construction going to be? Standard wood trusses etc? What's the insulation?
The roof will be wood framed. Insulation will likely be blown in cellulose. Maybe some spray foam on the underside of the roof sheathing.
Any updates?
We should be doing one in the next few months.
Going to follow your lead on the pressure vessel….NICE❤️
Cool. Good luck with your project!
why do you not use sand in the mixture? I have seeing people making it with sand too. thanks
You can add sand if you want to increase the density and thermal mass. Most of the time it makes more sense to go for as much insulation value and lower density as aircrete already has enough thermal mass and is being structurally reinforced eternally.
We've experimented some with sand added to the mix. We did it to add to aircretes compressive strength. It seemed to help, but the increase didn't seem significant, and it was just one more step in the process.
No rebar? Good luck to you when the wind blows
There's rebar in the concrete columns inside the wall.

I like the way they are going about the build, was aircreate used for the foundation also? I am interested in more information on your mixing and pumping system and how you put it together. Would it be possible to get the plans for these
We are planning to make a more detailed video in the spring. Aircrete was not used for the foundation. It can work for slabs but I would not recommend it for the main parts of the foundation.
@@domegaia Why will it work for slabs and not foundations? Aren't they one in the same and support the house, just one is around the perimeter and the other is the whole house? Some houses use slabs and some use foundation. My Dad has 2 houses one is built on a slab and the other is built on a stem wall foundation.
You are correct, and I should have been a bit more specific. In a traditional house built on a slab, there is generally a thicker part of the slab or footer that goes around the perimeter and under load-bearing walls. Aircrete is excellent as a slab when used as a subfloor, but I would not use it for the load-bearing foundation walls or footers.
This all depends on what you are building on top of it. In Hawaii, we have built domes on Aircrete foundations, and they worked well. Partially because the Aircrete foundations were directly on very stable lava rock, and the Aircrete domes are very light.
Ok so I could run rebar in the footings and use aircrete for the footings and slab and the strength should be fine to support an aircrete house
@@alanabraham3129, it sounds counter intuitive, but rebar really won't add much, if any, strength to the aircrete. This is because the aircrete doesn't have enough compressive strength to hang onto the steel.
I did do aircrete footings and stemwalls on an earlier structure but have since decided that it's better to do concrete foundations. Since I can mix concrete for about the same cost per volume as aircrete. It's simply more important to me that the foundation is solid and stable, than provide insulation.
