    Genius Idea! Adding a cob hat is such a simple solution to gather more heat and keep it all night!

    What a good use of mud on this project! And it's pretty, too!

    Oh I really liked this video! That is quite brilliant solution. And yet so simple. I would want to give eyes to the blob of mud. And a name.

    We started off making it pointy at the top because we were worried that the hat would get too warm for people to put their stuff on it. I think the next one we make can be two inches taller and have a flat top.

    Love the innovation with natural materials! Keeps getting better.

    The design grew on me. Great video to exemplify!

    The size of the RMH and the ingenuity of the cobb hat really make the video. Impressive stuff.

    Nice to see a simple solution to a difficult problem. That is a tiny house, I've stayed in it! Keeping it warm through the night is lovely.

    This is the kind of documentation I love to see. What the world needs to learn.

    Wow! It's interesting how insulative the cob is!

    • @paulwheaton
      @paulwheaton  7 месяцев назад +3

      I think the cob is not insulative, although it is acting as a powerful heat shield here. The cob is mostly holding the heat.

    Yeah! Stephen!! Good job, man!

    Great new. Size of the shack?

    • @paulwheaton
      @paulwheaton  7 месяцев назад +3

      less than 100 square feet

    Peter had originally put 30 or 40 clay bricks inside the barrel for extra mass. Are those bricks still there or had they been removed since original construction?

    I'm not seeing the link to patreon or the welding video in the description. I'll try to look closer

    • @tinalwolf
      @tinalwolf 7 месяцев назад +4

      There is a patreon link at the end of the sentence that thanks them. The welding video is the freebie for signing up for the dailyish.

      ​@@tinalwolfThank you. I see the patreon logo now.

    To test the thermal mass, you would want to run two tests of the same temperatures, with one test being a control without the thermal mass.
    This video mostly demonstrated the power of very small, very well insulated spaces.

      At 1:11 you can see Magdalene showing her results before the cob hat was on, she got it up to 85 degrees and in the morning it was at 68. Meaning a 17 degrees loss without the cob hat.

    Can you also bake a pizza in it? Does the hat interfere with putting on a kettle or otherwise cooking?

    • @paulwheaton
      @paulwheaton  7 месяцев назад +2

      Kettle is now out. We hope to try a pizza someday.

    I like cob, but I have to dig deep to get below my rich black permies soil.

  • @meeeowww4614
    @meeeowww4614 7 месяцев назад +2

    May I ask what is your cob recipe?

    • @paulwheaton
      @paulwheaton  7 месяцев назад +4

      Sand, clay and a little straw. We have sand and clay here. Sometimes we use straw from off property. Most of our sand has a little clay in it already. Everybody's mix is gonna be a little different for the quality of material.

    • @letoffstudios
      @letoffstudios 7 месяцев назад +9

      For this project, we used a little less straw than usual. More sand helped bulk it up and maintain its shape as we made the mound on the top.
      Another interesting thing about this build: we used sand to create the "mold" for the cavity underneath the hat. When that part had dried around the sand, the rest of the cob hat was mounded on top and then we shoveled and "shop-vac'd" the sand out of there, leaving the cleaned opening and cavity.
      (this is Stephen, by the way)

    Tangentially related to this video, but I have to ask, have there been any successful experiments with a rocket glassware forges? I've been searching permies and the most I've found is talk of a rocket glass recycler.

    • @paulwheaton
      @paulwheaton  7 месяцев назад +1

      We did have success with some small glass recycling. We also made a ceramic kiln ruclips.net/video/uiPVRs3k8K4/видео.html

    • @Reese-wg7jb
      @Reese-wg7jb 7 месяцев назад

      Yeah I've seen the ceramic kiln which I've let the potters in my life know about, but very specifically I was wondering if there had been any success with a glassware forge, but I imagine the engineering difficulties are pretty substantial to make it work. Awesome stuff!! Keep at it

    专家您好,燃烧室气流不流畅,出现喘息现象是什么原因?

    • @Mark-xt8jp
      @Mark-xt8jp 7 месяцев назад

      Your question translated: " Hello experts, what is the reason why the air flow in the combustion chamber is not smooth and wheezing occurs? " Perhaps 'wheezing' is also 'pulsing'?

    • @peter-lee
      @peter-lee 7 месяцев назад

      ​@@Mark-xt8jp Thank you for your translation, you are right, it is pulsation. The gas in the feed pipe expands suddenly and regularly, causing exhaust gas to enter the room. This usually occurs when the air supply is restricted

    why not show degrees Celsius too ? cause those numbers mean nothing to plenty of people, yes i could convert it myself, but if only one persons was to do the conversion for the most benefit, then that one person would be you guys. And no one cares about the decimal point, it actually adds to blah blah. Good video though, thanks.
