@ryan norris He's right though. Not just an anti north american sentiment. You can get all the engineer stamps you like but if the existing industries see you as a threat they'll cut you down - in any country.
I love folks like you. You were passionate, informative, truthful, and I felt like you cared about the people wanting to do this on their own. My hat is off to you, sir. Thank you for making this video. You've earned yourself a new subscriber.
Just more proof that putting energy into positive things, like being a great dad, husband (with a great wife, I can tell) and this, aircrete, will just keep the goodness coming! These guys that can only complain, and be angry all the time are getting old (in more ways than one) So thank you, and your chickens!
I've been trying out various culinary thickeners in my foaming agent mix as foam stabilizer based on US patent 3141857 wich uses sodium alginate. I've been using dishwashing soap and xantan gum.
You are obviously a great Dad. Very creative too. And chickens are cool too my "girls" always and "talk to me" when I go outdoors. I am amazed that that they are still laying eggs after 6 years. Not every day but maybe 4-5 eggs a week. I only have 2 chickens left. Two Toed Sally and Henrietta. I do have 40 ducks and 2 breeding pairs of Pilgrim Geese. I am planning to use aircrete to build my new poultry house. With such good insulating properties I can keep them on an egg layer diet so my income won't drop off when winter gets here.
I'd also like to see how much liquid is at the bottom of those buckets, and a comparison between the shampoo, dish soap, and possibly both with glycerin added in? The true test would be the amount of liquid that settles out, I think, because that mobility will be a big factor in how the concrete sets up. Great stuff, keep it up!
The problem with using soap agents is most contain sulphur (Salt). Salt breaks down the strength of concrete overtime leading to a weak construction. This is the reason you shouldn't use dish soap as a plasticiser in mortar/ cement products.
Loving your videos. Suave has an ingredient called sodium lauryl sulfate that is key for good foam. 7th Generation dish liquid has it too. Available at Walmart. I'm in the Dominican Republic and always looking for a better and cheaper way to build. Any building that will stand up for a year needs to be concrete here due to wood eating insects. Blocks are expensive and well you know. I'm really liking this system. My next project is to build some chicken coups for raising chickens for sale. Perfect timing. I think I will use this system. Low stem walls maybe 2 - 3 feet high and netting for ventilation. Keep up the great work.
wow! your doing exactly what ive been dreamin bout doin! hats off to these folks! They know what they doin! Thank yous fer sharing, caint wait ta lern more!!!
I love your videos, thank you for posting all this very helpful information. I wanted to let you know that I bought 1 gallon of the Drexel foaming agent at Rural King here in Ohio for $21. Also the mix ratio is 160 parts H2o to 1 part Drexel. I did the math on dish soap at 30:1 and concluded the Drexel was less expensive and made tighter bubbles, However that was before I watched this video on shampoo. As soon as our weather warms up we will trying Aircrete for a paver project for the first time . Again thank you for posting all your really cool inventions. :)
You truly are a great inspiration and help to all your viewers (subscribers or not). I enjoy your simple approach, happy face, love for your family and your drive to find the most inexpensive solution so that everyone can benefit from your research. You may not have the fanciest laboratory, but your open mind, flock of chickens and humilty share as you learn along the way makes it better than anything out there. Keep up the good work. There is a lot to learn from you.
I'm thinking about making a rocket stove with slightly more expensive materials used for making a DIY foundry. However, instead of making the entire mass out of the more expensive stuff, I will try making only the inner liner to cut the cost in half. That would be too thin by itself, but then I plan to cast a thick layer over everything with aircrete. When I saw rocket stoves out of aircrete, only the inner skin that was exposed to the flame was eroding. Thanks for all the great aircrete info!
Wooow I am impressed. i have watched your videos from Kenya. My parents have a piece of land but they have been living on rentals now I Think I know what to do. hope I Will be able to make that aircrete machine
I want to make a foam crete house boat .......I was wondering if you had thought on it?....... i was wondering how thick it had to be without sinking or breaking apart, yet strong enough to have few friends over and grill out on your floating house boat on a pond or lake....
Thank you Mrs./Mr Honey Do, thanks for Suave Shampoo FOR OILY HAIR contest, probably less expensive than the 7th Generation Dish Soap. When I return to Mexico, later this year, I hope to have your recipes for the different aircreteS then return to start a little business while giving back to the community to help them learn to make rocket mass heaters. They have smaller amount of wood available here, so it could make the difference of being cold or not in the mountains. MUCHO~GRACIAS! Joy
I have seen R values quoted as from 4 to 6 per inch of thickness. Don't know the density though. May be others with numbers out there. I just saw the two so far.
Would also be nice if you could post the latest , precise measurements of ingredients and ratios. How to figure out foam weight or volume/whichever one you are using. For grins and giggles I built a foam wand last year and it worked very well. Used an AEWC, air expelled water can, you know, those shiny silver fire extinguishers you see hanging in stores...however, I am a true believer in getting info and directions from successful people doing the same thing I am trying to do, so looks like I will be buying one of your kits.

Yes, the Drexel costs about 28.00 per gallon. You need 4 ounces of this per 5 gallon bucket. When you break it down it is only about .90 cents of foaming agent in each batch of AirCrete. You will use about a bottle of the shampoo for each 5 gallon bucket.That is an average of 1,89 per 5 gallon bucket. If you are doing Aircrete in a small scale that would be fine but building houses with it, it would be more cost effective to just order the Dexel and make the foam.
I found this channel and was really excited, where has aircrete been all my life. I immediately set about building a foam generator. Mostly a hybrid of this one and Jim Whites using the eductor and combining air and liquid in a T junction before the wand. I got what looked like great foam, tuned it to 3.3oz/liter and tried lots of foaming agents including the recommended Suave and even the expensive Richway CMX. All of them turned back to liquid within 15min after looking nice an thick just like the videos. I tried warm, cold, filtered soft water, hard city water, densities from 2oz/liter to 4.2oz/liter always with the same results. I thought maybe I should run separate lines and mix at the wand, skip the eductor, just like the honey do machine so I modified it completely, same result. I am so jealous of a foam that can last even one hour. My wand is three cascaded pieces of stainless steel fine wool in a 1 1/2 inch PVC pipe just like everyone else. I cannot figure out what is going wrong, its like I am living in a different universe where long lasting foam is a fantasy. Any ideas from anyone, I am about to give up on this whole thing.
hey dont give up.I have been there done that.things change when portland powder is mixed in. so dont get so caught up on foam tests alone.see which one work with the right amount of water and cement. a while ago drexel worked for me but now suave shapoo is working for me and palmolive profesional.
@@garyweber6413 I found that adding about 10-15% CSA speeds the setup time and allows less dependence on foam longevity. Also mixing Drexel at 80:1 rather than 160:1 slows breakdown somewhat. Between the two I am now getting better results.
It looks like the hand soap you used was the antibacterial type. If so, that could attribute to the difference in ability to hold together as a foam. Of course, the shampoo would smell a whole lot better in the process, and it's less expensive.
Hi I’m quite interested...and have a suggestion....self service car wash ...foaming brush soap Reasonable and five gallons would easily do a small house
Thank you so much for all this awesome information! I'm so excited to play with aircrete! You have a wonderful family! I love your videos. Thanks for all the great content.
Ik see this kind solution for a rizer, very nice done, what kind of foam agent I need, in the netherlands there are commercial ones for using in concrete, I can do this with fireconcrete? or do you use just fireproof cement?, thanks.
The Domagaia guy recommends using Seventh Generation dish soap. It's plant based and works the best. Have you tried that? You can buy it at almost any store including Target.
@@AmosIrontree Check the ingredients. You're looking for sodium laurel (or laureth) sulfate. It's just a foaming agent, and this Suave happens to be a cheap way to get it.
Yo Mr. Darwin the Honeydo man! Have you considered using any glycerin in the mix? It's what they use to make super large soap bubbles. Keeps the bubble wall from collapsing.
Great ending. My lady an I still have snow ball fights and work together. BTW I use that stuff to wash my hair. Mostly because it is cheap and bets the job done.
Hi; I just was looking for experiance about foam agent; but I like how is your family exchange feeling and treat. and soo like the boy and every things ; cheken .... nice family ... love you ......Thanks
Have you yet tried adding the liquid glass into the the foam process? I'm wondering if you could make a foam with the liquid glass as part of one of the agents ( water - soap - liquid glass) resulting in a cell with liquid glass properties. If you had tried this - what where the results?
how much steel wool do I put in the gun. and a question I am only getting air true the gun no foam but if I put my finger to block the front of the gun for 3,4 minute I will get a little foam for 2 to 3 minutes can so one let me no what I am do wrong
Suggestion for another foaming agent. I was making a batch of stain treatment for my laundry using 2 bars of Fels-Naptha soap. I grate ir into a pot then dissolve it with hot water. So this was the first time I used the Fels-Naptha to make a laundry soap for heavily soiled clothes. After dissolving 2 bars of the soap in 2 gallons off water I dipped a scrub brush into the soap solution to scrub a plastic bucket. The foam generated by scrub brush was unbelievably thick and very stiff and stable. I will experiment with it and give you results.
I got it. Was thinking what will happen if you add sugar? Going to try it asap. Just like coolwip it stays full of air because the sugar holds everything together.
Have you discovered whether the shampoo foaming agent interferes with the concrete setting up? I've seen another youtuber that found some foaming agents that worked well for foam had issues with the concrete curing.
I know this video was posted about 2 years ago. Many people will add an acrylic bonding agent to their aircrete. Question:. Have you ever considered adding an acrylic bonding agent to your foaming agent to stabilize the foam from collapsing prematurely? Being in the foam it would mix with the cement. It might result in a fluffier and lighter mix......just a suggestion.
I enjoy the things you are doing, keep up the good work. I understand you are always trying to get costs down and resource readily available products which makes sense as every layout is different and the more accessible this tech is the more we can do to improve it. The problem with that is, from where I stand is yes I want to keep costs down and flexibility up but I'm more interested in uping the game a bit so the end result is it functions better and lasts longer even if the products are slightly more expensive. More specifically, can I build a heat riser with refractory cement, perlite, liquid glass and aircrete? I can do some testing myself and I will but perhaps you can save me some time with your abundance of knowlege and expertise. Thank you in advance from Canada.
Just wondering, if I were to try to recreate this experiment at home. How many chickens should I have on standby. And do you think I could substitute in a cat for the small child? Jokes aside.. Love the vids, thanks so much for making and sharing.
Rule of thumb: you can never have too many chickens. So... three plus... Cats are always great in videos. However, I don't think they can ever actually replace a child. Anyway, nice comment! Yeah, I love these videos, too ;)
How did you find out about this stuff ??? Also, What if you actually want large and porous concrete that has great strength for driveway use ???/ Would it work for a driveway ??? Thanks
Thanks for the fun video! Do have a quick question: Could I mix white (swimming pool type) Cement instead of the Grey? And then add in a simply water-based colorant?
This is what makes America great! Thanks for the information and the uplifting entertainment.
Right on, love that comment!
This is what makes People great.
No its not, America is where the building inspectors tell you, you can't without an engineer stamp. The third world is where new ideas get tried
@ryan norris He's right though. Not just an anti north american sentiment. You can get all the engineer stamps you like but if the existing industries see you as a threat they'll cut you down - in any country.
@ryan norris an industry isn't just one company and who owns them is irrelevant.
I just love how you share your valuable findings with the world, 30 dollar foam producer and now this, I always thought shampoos foam the best.

In the spring Tractor Supply carries Drexel FM 160 in many of their stores, and it can be had for approximately $18 a gallon.
Glycerin makes some pretty wicked foam

tap and well water contains salts and minerals, how much more salt can be in so little soap?
You've been a real help. What a fun and loving family. God Bless
Loved the horseplay at the end.The tree doesn't grow too far from the acorns!

I try to add stearic acid in my foam solution and make my foam steady for 2 days.
How much stearic acid would you add to say a 20 litre mix ? is it granules ?
Could you use air creat instead of close foam insulation ? And do you know what thr R value is on it, if it has one
...you "SHOULD" use AirCrete instead of closed-foam insulation.
I have seen R values quoted as from 4 to 6 per inch of thickness. Don't know the density though. May be others with numbers out there. I just saw the two so far.
did anyone get an answer or know the ratio of water to soap?

I got it. Was thinking what will happen if you add sugar? Going to try it asap. Just like coolwip it stays full of air because the sugar holds everything together.
Have you ever thought of using bentonite clay in the sand cement slurry before adding the foam?
When the bubbles expand when the heat doesn’t happen to the concrete is there more expansion in the concrete because there’s more air
Have you discovered whether the shampoo foaming agent interferes with the concrete setting up? I've seen another youtuber that found some foaming agents that worked well for foam had issues with the concrete curing.

So a short swarey down to the dollar store for that classic blue sauve.....
May I ask is there plans for an updated foam gun that someone knows about?
Very good presentation.
Just a thought Darwin, you add glycerin to dish soap to make bubble blowing liquid, because it makes the bubbles stronger. Think that might help here?
I was actually wondering the same thing.
Another thought, buy some disposable razors and use some of the foam to get a close shave while making your aircrete.
@@Accumulator1 i add a little stearic acid and the foam wont collapse for 2 days.

Yes I have not found it either. I have been trying various shampoos from the Dollar Store $1.08 per
Is this same form u use for the aerated concrete block..?
What good does it do comparing the shampoo to a product you know is bad?
Digging all the aircrete experiments and info, keep it up!
I know this video was posted about 2 years ago. Many people will add an acrylic bonding agent to their aircrete. Question:. Have you ever considered adding an acrylic bonding agent to your foaming agent to stabilize the foam from collapsing prematurely? Being in the foam it would mix with the cement. It might result in a fluffier and lighter mix......just a suggestion.
I enjoy the things you are doing, keep up the good work. I understand you are always trying to get costs down and resource readily available products which makes sense as every layout is different and the more accessible this tech is the more we can do to improve it. The problem with that is, from where I stand is yes I want to keep costs down and flexibility up but I'm more interested in uping the game a bit so the end result is it functions better and lasts longer even if the products are slightly more expensive. More specifically, can I build a heat riser with refractory cement, perlite, liquid glass and aircrete? I can do some testing myself and I will but perhaps you can save me some time with your abundance of knowlege and expertise. Thank you in advance from Canada.
Just wondering, if I were to try to recreate this experiment at home. How many chickens should I have on standby. And do you think I could substitute in a cat for the small child?
Jokes aside.. Love the vids, thanks so much for making and sharing.
The cat should work if he/she will jump up on your lap wearing a Red Tshirt!
At least 4, because 3 of them will wander off to go get footprints on your new concrete!
Rule of thumb: you can never have too many chickens. So... three plus...
Cats are always great in videos. However, I don't think they can ever actually replace a child.
Anyway, nice comment! Yeah, I love these videos, too ;)
Hi Sir
Could you use the power washer with foam attachment used for washing cars to get the same foam consistency using the suave shampoo?
How did you find out about this stuff ??? Also, What if you actually want large and porous concrete that has great strength for driveway use ???/ Would it work for a driveway ??? Thanks
Thanks for the fun video! Do have a quick question: Could I mix white (swimming pool type) Cement instead of the Grey? And then add in a simply water-based colorant?
