Why don't people use interlocking blocks and bricks for construction? Literally make them to where you can run rebar down thru all the walls and tie the rear at the top. Hell for that matter you could tack weld all the top ones and cut and reuse the blocks later. I have done construction and it seems to me there is a lot of extra work and money for less reliability.
Great design! Strong, foolproof to use, need no mortar. If you did use them in a building, just a tiny bit of concrete slurry, expanding liquid foam, gorilla glue, or construction adhesive would lock them very strongly. They could also be made cheaply with dustcrete or fired clay.
The mortar has also the role to correct the irregularity of the bricks. No product on earth is precise. The mortar enables to correct it in order to build vertical walls, at the same height from one side to the other, and on the same plane. With only 2 levels of these bricks, you already sea irregularities, and they accumulate with the design, they don't compensate.
this is a good idea without waisting too much of each blocks height, easily fixed by makeing each block just a little bit higher than a normal block. and these overlaps the holes actually match
These are a great idea but only for local use. These would be a nightmare to ship long distance without them receiving damage to the fragile locking tabs at the current size. Justin this video the was a few with broken corners already. What doesn't get damaged in transport will get damaged by carless workers. I would also recommend putting a channel on the ends that lock together as well. Second problem, which is only with this video, is the mix is way to dry. These will crumble and weather easily.
They are fine if you want to create a flower bed wall or something like that. They won't work for creating a strong structure you need more room between them for putting wet cement to bond them. 1/3 to 1/2 of an inch should be good.
Using the same pipe used to create the holes in the blocks, you can lock the blocks together securely without morter... as designed. Adjusting the dimensions SLIGHTLY would permit use of construction adhesive if joint "leaks" are a concern. For retaining walls, perimeter foundation, or simply decorative partition walls, these are quite attractive if different "concrete" suited to each application is used. One could easily incorporate steel reinforcement in the product for additional strength in the active seismic areas like here in Washington state. I like this design best so far. Thank you!
Very creative bro, well done with your cheap DIY garden bricks. I like the one you made with the little brick pattern better. This one would be great for taller sculptures and back drops
faster and more solid to form vertical posts in reinforced concrete, every 3 meters and between the 2 posts pour 7cm of concrete wall in rows. 12 cm if floor or if we have the means. or walls entirely made of rammed earth between sheets when you have little financial means and clayey soil nearby. This is too much work with blocks (the mold will not hold 1000 blocks...) and above all non-compliant because of questionable solidity and gaps in the joints therefore not airtight. but it's very nice to see what some people can do with a few boards
You have a good idea, but, it can be set up better. Instead of loading from the end, have you thought about a top load? It will mean setting your pipes longer, and refitting the sides of the box. My guess is that you are making a 300 * 150 * 100 block? At this time, you are compressing from the 300 mm end. Would it not be better to compress from the 100 mm? By going vertical, you are not risking bending the pipes, and you are able to get compression over the whole brick. Your current method does not allow you to get full compression on the top edges where the blocks are for the shapes. Am currently in the process of building a sieving table, bolted together, powered by a bicycle drive! My next project after that is to build a vibrating table for the manufacture of interlocking blocks. The third project will be the manufacture of a CSEB machine that, if designed correctly, will be able to make the interlocking blocks or CSEB of different sizes. If I can get around to it, a video will be posted on YT, showing what has been done.
been watching a few "interlocking" brick vids lately, and one question keeps popping up... with all the interlocking parts, there doesn't seem to be enough space for the mortar to fit between and still maintain the interlock.. otherwise nice design....

во-первых , такая сложная форма явно ни к чему . Во-вторых , зазоры между блоками слишком малы даже для клея . Если только не планируешь их просто складывать друг на друга , без ни чего !
I've watched a lot of these block making videos and they all leave me asking, do you people not own safety shoes and a work bench!?! The lost time to broken toes and back problems must be crippling!
And what kind of solution is planned to fasten the wall from these blocks? If it is the same cement, then the space between the complex shape of the bricks is not enough, because the cement mortar does not compact like that. If with glue, then what kind? The ones in cans are much more expensive than all these forms and blocks combined. And without a binding solution, such a wall is not suitable even for the construction of a garage. It is also not suitable for building a house because, most likely, it does not have enough strength and compression like red or white brick made in factory conditions.
Can Not Be Posible That Blocks 1. You Will Need Space For Mortar 2. Not space For Rebar 3. You Must Work In Construction To Know More About Blocks. Amén.
