Sadly expo's are for business and geared to money while Blatantly over looking years of researchers contribution Last expo I was invited to was Adam's state University
@@mrglasecki I believe to move hemp into main building it has to get to the money guys but it will be moving hemp forward and that’s my main goal . IAm starting a hempcrete supply’s company in st.louis mo . I will need all the help I can get to get this off the ground. There growing hemp in Missouri and many others state . I want to train construction company and the public on hempcrete . The industry is moving fast now being it was illegal for 80 years . We have to do what Europe and Norway . Norway has pre cast walls made shipment to the location and build home . Pre fab panel’s would be the way of the future
I have been working with mycelium hemp materials and have increased the strength quite a bit but it's nowhere near modified hempcrete +++ materials. Like you said the weakness is in the adhesive/binder. I decided to move on to hempcrete type materials and am going to start testing stuff just like you, I was very surprised that you had already did all this testing and I think it's impressive and inspiring. Do you think the hempcrete material sitting in a container with dry ice would help it cure faster/stronger?
Ahh Co2 😁 actually use it the cure the sodium silicate in green sand for metal casting 🤔 😏 Possibly (when used) to help cure the sodium silicate used in air crete as a moisture barrier * Otherwise oxides and chlorides bring there own heat to the party
*btw outstanding 😎 work not gotten hemp mycelium much stronger than structural foam, yet hemp PVA (foam in a can) is actually impressive (more than) structural foam on its own
hiya! thank you for an informative video. I have been playing around with hempcrete for the last year and your video has inspired me. I usually use lime and clays as binding agents but now I want to try bind with other resins and glues. Which ones are safe to use/eco friendly/non toxic?
Woukd you say the last cylinder, of the geopolymer mix, is vapor-open? I find one of the best things about hempcrete for construction is its vapor-openness, thus its natural ability to regulate the moisture/humidity of the indoor environment. Would this geopolymer (or one similar to it) have the same capacity? To have that plus the incredible strength would be phenomenal.
HempCrete ®️ is seismically structural, significantly stronger than steel reinforced concrete Yet, nothing is free it's strength sacrifices thermal potential, that said HempCrete retrains thermal capacity HempCrete ®️ burn conclusion ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mztq32gdQeM.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HSE5vESjFk0.html HempCrete 17×50mm tile Raw strength of HempCrete ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--Ktl6-4B0x8.html * Yet, by all means for humidity control hemp-lime insulation infill can still be used keep in mind it's NOT 🚫 structural @
HempCrete ®️ doesn't require design to be thick and bulky to work hemp bast hemicellulose "starlite" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fmCSmI-5MK4.html
I’m looking to build a rammed earth house in the next 5 years. I’m looking at using 6 inches of hemp insulation in the center. That way it will keep its breathable characteristics. Not sure if this would be a great idea.
Thanks for sharing your fascinating research. I'm curious to know what you are using for a mag geopolymer... are you mixing it yourself or using a pre-mix?
@@mrglasecki it may be worth looking at for it's high strength and rapid growth, it could aid you in scaling these techniques. Keep up the good work mate.
bamboo has a real bad reputation for getting out of hand (perhaps not TOTALLY deserved for ALL species though)... hemp is a 'weed', but not an OH GOD weed AFAIK I have also heard that the PROCESSING of bamboo is really resource intensive (maybe it does not have as sophisticated of a decordicator yet?)
Honestly 'Hope' it's from lack of available material 🤔 personally "Hemp-lime" in a conventional frames limitations of R6.25 it can't hardly be called Hemp home 🤨 and definitely not HempCrete at R75 @ 12"😏 just saying
Thanks for your feedback. People are using clay ovens for centuries without any known health issue. My only concern is if there is any toxic gases generated by MgO based liners while oven is burning between 450F-1200F. Or is there any mgO flacks falling off on to your food? At least I want to give it a shot and make MgO pourable consistency for mold and test it out.
@@mrglasecki Thank you, and what is the best standard test method to be used for hempcrete compressive strength? I could not find any ASTM standard for that.
