500-year ceramic geodesic dome home: now real 

Salam, I really do believe that for both of you and the geodesic home have a promising future ! inshAllah

I bought Domebook 2 in the 70's and built a smaller 3V dome then. I like this concept a lot but want to see more details on how they seal all the joints since that has always been a major issue. Would love to see hub design, mechanics, etc of how these actually go together.

I spent many years in construction trades trying to explain this while concept to others as they rolled their eyes at me. Dymaxion home coming back!

Solar built into the wall panels would be perfect icing on the cake

Geodesic Domes have been in existence for years. They are great!

geodesics is Cosmos' natural 3D shape, having a geodesic home is the natural space to live in, blending not only with nature, but with spacetime, coming into contact with consciousness, disease free and at ease. Congratulations Geoship!

I can’t wait 16 years for the mass production of these

Thank you for this. RBF's vision in its birth stage. My first dome model was 1960 when I was 10. I have all his books. I also have a need for a dome upgrade to my crudely built cabin before the snow load of heavier winter snowfalls collapse it. Or else I fall off the roof when I have to shovel it to ease the load on the poorly constructed roof framing. Maybe I will live long enough to see this come to fruition. The world needs RBF ideas.

We're enjoying seeing the progress on this concept. Looking forward to more as the journey continues. Thanks for sharing.

Please get more funding to put this on a faster track!! Abrupt climate change is here, and the world needs this yesterday! Funny, not funny. Please do another crowd funding round, I want to give a little...what I can do to support it. May the force be with you!!!!

Ceramics are known for being BRITTLE and FRACTURING when structures settle or in earthquake...or even high wind forces...

Incredibly excited for these homes and all the Regenerative Villages that will be formed with them! Epic work Geoship!

My dreams come true with this technology and build possibility.

Thanks for this video. Lots of great stuff in here.

Interesting to know how it is acoustically: like in a restaurant or cafe with box shape, lots of people all end up shouting to overcome the echoes ...

I’m so glad to find your channel.

I live in a more northern latitude, and most of the homes here have some kind of basement. Would there be much difficulty in building a full sphere with part of the sphere below the frost line?

Lived in a 3o ft 3/4 dome (the purple dome at Pacific High) made with wood struts and crude asphalt roofing. It had a great loft and entry was a staircase through the floor. Had great acoustics but leaked terribly. Cool to see this living art form being advanced. It was part of a cluster an alternative community including a shower dome, separate bedroom domes and on the land…. Good times

Didn't watch the First video, didn't watch the Second video, didn't read the story... Hey... That's me... Just came across my feed this minute...

Wow, that looks incredible. Great project for an off-grid option! I'm looking at an inexpensive piece of desert property, and am left wondering how it would do in the desert? Great project, I hope to be one of your first customers once your up and running. If you do tours, I live close and would love to make the trip. Thanks and good luck!

Love the idea. I think the extremly live acoustics might drive me mad...der.

Is anyone actually building and selling these or is this another fund raising stunt?

I'm almost afraid to ask, how much would a 30' dome cost if it were ready. Also could it be built underground.

Great vision, spirit, and mission. I look forward to this being a solution for the near future and wish them great success!

Thanks Morgan and John ! I love domes and all the benefits .All the best for your plans.Only advice I would offer is stay away from big brother as much as you can future of humanity is in small communities without corporations called state or any for of big government.HPL to ALL !

I've been following since the beginning. I've got my land, I'm just waiting on the technology.

I got here searching 'ceramic houses' looking for Nader Kahlili work on high temperature - fired clay houses in full size; won him architectural awards in Persia This idea is cool Panels of ceramic thank you for the video

I like the space station look.

Hey. I went to school in nevada city. This makes me homesick. ❤

I love it. Building communities is also really important. We’re all too disconnected from other people. Prices?

Can't wait until these are available to the public! Looking to establish an early Christian-style modern co-op and these would be perfect. Have been following Geoship for quite some time and it's exciting to see the prototype. @geoship - I do have a question about the windows, if there will be custom sunshades/blinds available to block light and heat. Also if the windows are double-paned for enhanced temperature regulation. It's difficult to tell from the video.

This guy is not the best spokesman for this... but this looks like one of the very best options out there. I'm really into this company.

1000th like and I'm definitely buying multiple of these as soon as they are ready, let me know where I can sign a letter of intent !!!!! :D

i can see this in the forest but in urban area with other building looking in at you or looking at other buildings I don't see it- but cool idea

I think best house is the house that made from local materials without overseas supplies and possibly to use own labour. For Australia I think best is rammed earth house, strong and most suitable and works well with Australian climate

When do you expect the dome to be ready to order and deliver. I live outside of America and Canada in Tbilisi Georgia.

Cool!

I love the video 1st of all amazing work I can see it being the future of housing

I'd like to know how you are going to get city and county approval to build those as houses. Banks don't usually loan money for the unconventional mortgage loan.

How do you tank make the cob floor to prevent rising damp without losing the grounding?

About the most unimaginative video on yt. And possibly one of the best ideas. Hand waving doesn't do much in the way of illustrating anything. But good luck all the same.

I want a few of these on land I’m getting in North Carolina

This is my dream home..

So, you say your going to show the beef, Did I miss a follow up? where you actually show details? Or the name of the building company or details on the results... Perhaps just a passing story..??

Can you put a wood stove in there for northern climates?

use stainless steel frame and Carbon fibre sheets to make domes

I'm more interested in a passive solar design, glass only on the south side. How would you put a solar curtain on it.

Why is it that you never seem to show the inside. And what about the limitation on land and being to build it stacking to make more livings space per square foot.

beautifullllllllll!, when will they be available in France?, the future of holistic, disease-free housing

how much do they cost

Haven’t heard any pricing but if you can build yourself that will save prob at least 30%. Maybe he will mention pricing before it’s over

Now make it a square and a rectangle then you will have something the masses will want to buy. You could even go with vertical walls and a doomed roof like a Quonset. The masses just are not going to buy into a round home. Nice to visit cool to see but not convenient as a home and all that comes with turning a dwelling into a home.

2nd all jokes aside the bold head guy looks like the actor who playing the thing on fantastic four 🤣🤣🤣💯

how are they heated

Yes, I agree it would be interesting to know the process and history of the material proposed to seal the joints. I will take "500" years as hyperbole at this stage...Cultural conditioning should also be taken into account in marketing. Having lived in a dome 30 days in the Fall at 57deg N light is more important than one might imagine. Plus, I hate to say it, I missed the defined spaces of linear walls and ceilings. I can see myself building a dome. But not everyone will feel comfortable living in the space.

Door frame looked helluva lot like wood to me.

How is it insulated?

from Canada cold climate is affordable with our dollar now

It really tells that the guest has a STEM background with no construction experience, so he has spent a lot of brainpower to optimize for the wrong parameter. A home needs to provide as much as possible horizontal space as possible, that also has: a moisture and heat barrier against the outside, controlled air intake (ventilation), natural light throughout, and durability. 1) A circular shape is terrible for moisture control, because as water slides down the roof it will have an opportunity to test every microcrack and joint, which are never absent because of thermal expansions and contractions. So you either remove windows, or make durable, hermetically perfect window joints, which shoots the costs of build and repair into the sky. 2) Humans can only use horizontal space, so circular shape is not the most efficient per useful space. In conclusion, this technology has good wind and earthquake resistance at the cost of everything else. There is also no research to support the idea that geopolymer concrete is more durable than classic high and ultra-high grade concrete. So the endpoint of this technology is going to be a more expensive monolithic concrete home.

In Australia tiny house at least $100.00

This dome takes the resonance effect of a drum and adds chimes! Oy, it couldn't function in community because it actuates sound!!! Making all vibrations an active quadraphonic environment. As if living inside a piano box. It amplifies instead of isolates exterior phenomenon. Not at all what people desire in a home. People expect homes to be sheltering from the exterior reality and not a function to accumulate and accentuate the exterior happening.

WOW

Brawo !!!!!!

Any links to more info ? Your guests contact info ?

I really wish more Big funders would invest! Love the idea

Most important question what do they consider affordable lol.

Melinda Gates donates a lot of money to certain causes, you might reach out to her and even Bill Gates and Warren Buffet might be interested in investing.

Love everything about it besides the AI glasses shit lol

It’s greenwashing for an epoxy dome

what if a tree fell on it

(Elon Musk didn't even get money from his father's emerald business. The lady who wrote that article about him was an infiltrator from the corporate agenda who tried to make him look bad as usual. Elon and his brother created a company from scratch when they transcribed the yellow pages into a website for people to look up names and businesses on the Internet when the Internet had just started. Then he took that money and created Pay Pal. He's a genius and works overtime.) Another great and sustainable way of building homes are the Earthship homes by Michael Reynolds. But the geodesic homes originally designed by Buckminster Fuller are definitely stellar structures.

33 000$ for this dome ! I wish you'll share the receipe of the ceramic material, (in this ''social pretention'') as anyway the most expensive part of cost of housing is the land. Housing problem is caused by private ownership by the wealthiest, and speculation on it and building material.....

He built a prototype, concept house.
