How To Make Adobe Strong Enough To Build A House

- Daniel, CDO & co-founder of Terran Robotics shows us how to make Adobe from the basic ingredients using a basic method anyone can replicate at home. After the mixing process Terran CEO Zach shows us how they do compression testing to ensure the adobe would be strong enough for the ISO/ASTM standards as they apply to adobe mixtures. After the how to section we get to hear a little bit about Terran Robotics and the vision their team has for the future. Next week I will release the video of the drone testing in action!
This fresh startup is bootstrapping their company to build out a construction system based on a flying drone controlled with in house developed AI and that isn't even close to the only thing built in house. Terran robotics sees the double edged sword of a materials & labor problem in the construction industry. The solution may lie in adobe mixtures of straw gravel and clay to make a long lasting weather proof & comfortable material.

Equal amounts? By weight? By volume? What kind of clay? What size aggregate? A tarp for mixing? How about a cement mixer? What did the stress tests show with straw and without? In the '50s I mixed my adobe using half clay, half sand, water-emulsified asphalt, 50-50, in a wheel barrow, poured in a form. 40 years later, outside blocks looked almost new.
Interesting and informative with practical applications on how people may choose their communities to be structured. Thank you.
Yes a big part of our vision is in reimagining how people live. We are excited to build one off homes for folks but there is far greater cost savings and community building opportunities in imagining earthen materials deployed at scale. One of the biggest advantages of our drone system is the ability to build more than one structure at at time.
We made some organic homemade soil using that canvas method.
It had all kinds of good stuff in it and produced huge amounts of good tomatoes and herbs, veggies.
Wish I still had the recipe.
It was in some book.
Had, chicken manure, mushroom,
And good soil and a couple of other things. Soil enrichment makes all the difference.
I live in the New Mexico desert, about a mile from the Rio Grande. I use only sifted sand from the area for my adobe mud projects. Once dry, it's hard as rock. I've found that organic plant material prevents in the mix from properly curing, invites insects and doesn't harden like rock.
The doorway that goes all the way to the ceiling? BRILLIANT! Tks.
Full circle. Very ambitious, especially multi-story cobb - though they built mud beautifully up to seven stories in Yemen. Still standing after centuries (but it does not rain there).
Cob was recently added to the code in the United States and even thought it is primarily for one story we are designing for multi-story, multi-family structures.
We do need bigger eves around here than Yemen but you can look to England for a good source of old earthen structures in a rainy place.
@@terran2067 Your idea of defining a wall plane by controlled compaction is very ingenious.
@@nobreighner Thanks we've been experimenting with the action from close to the very beginning of the research and are starting to hone in on how it works in concert with the rest of the system.
That was so simple and an elegant! Thank you so much for sharing this Jarett!
Thanks for your comment. The simplicity of earthen materials is by far one of their greatest features.
@@terran2067 Dan, thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my comment.
@@terran2067 Is this Nick, Nate or Dan? Bloomington is the beautiful part of Indiana!
@@mitchellbarnow1709 Danny replied here. Are you located in Bloomington?
@@terran2067 Hi Danny! I’m in San Francisco, but my husband is from Tipton and he went to Ball State. I’ve loved your part of Indiana since watching Breaking Away and have dreamed about living where there are four seasons and away from the problems of today’s urban dwellers in the USA. I grew up in Los Angeles and wouldn’t last long in your summer or your winter. It’s one of those dreams that don’t include the realities.
this is amazing,....can you say this material can replace concrete and works well in tropical climates.
What kind of gravel? Is it limestone? Can sand do the job?
Maybe you should put in a cement mixer that's what I would do though
Sorry what were the ingridients again? I got clay and straw but what was the second one?
Gravel
🤗👍😎PROGRESS,JARETT 😍😍😍
😁 WE LOVE ❤️ PUNS
@@budgetaudiophilelife-long5461 Dirt Cheap
Can mineral oil instead of water make the adobe water proof?
Fascinating idea!
Can I do my driveway using this clay mixture?
Did you?
Pumicecrete is by far the best building material on the planet Pumicecrete is a mixture of pumice cement and water mixed and poured into a set of reusable forms walls are poured from 12"to 24" thick pumicecrete is fireproof termite proof rust rot and mold proof non toxic and has a high R value and good sound attenuation solid poured walls means no critters can live in your walls Pumicecrete can be built for a fraction of the cost and time
I mix motor mix in mine
I prefer hyper adobe and bags are super cheap
why not film the drone biulding?
That’s another video for the channels regularly scheduled Friday release. I got too much content from my visit to put it all in one video.
@@automateconstruction Thanks again for capturing so much of the story. There is a lot here to share and it's wise to break it up into manageable pieces.
You should have added quick lime too. Also, wouldn't be better to use fiberglass to sort of modernize adobe blocks?
So, I need to make 30 thousand bricks....not gonna happen that way
Take a look at compressed earth block construction. There's machines that you can build or buy that make bricks for you out of earth
@@cogwun yep
You forgot to screen the clay...
What does that mean?
FUC...G DOOOOOG !!! 😆🤣
Tell those dogs to "hush!" ... distracting!
The barking dogs were so distracting i had to turn it off
