I dont think this would hold for an extended period of time under tonnage of soil like that, I think it would eventually collapse (I am not certain though). I think this structure is built to last around 10 years. If taken care of however I am sure it could last longer.
There's literally nothing inside it. It will have zero ventilation (tents always have lots of vents), so will feel very muggy, no furniture so nothing to sit on or sleep on, and obviously you can't cook or brush your teeth in there or anything, since there's no running water or chimney area. Its really not that useful, and if its meant to be temporary... yeah, you can put it up fast, but now you have 1000 pounds of concrete that you have to bulldoze.
It gets an even saturation in the bag for when it's deployed in arid countries where water is in short supply. Doesn't show what happens when the relief effort is over, these ugly structures need heavy equipment to move them, or is it an instant permanent ghetto for the poor and diseased.
I was just joking around about our shitty weather xD. But yeah, lots of hastle, don't really see that ugly thing catching on with the homeless. Mostly military applications

***** No not immediately I guess but once it's been in the sun long enough the UV rays should kill things and it'll dry up eventually. As long as it is truly a liquid and not mud the chemical process should take place. Butt really you should look into actual research if you want facts I'm just guessing. At the very least I'd imagine it's as sanitary as Adobe.
Because you don't sell good products that last anymore. Its not profitable, everything needs to break with in months. It needs to be cheap garbage from china marked up at 2500 times the cost to manufacturer it. The government needs to subsidize what you do or else its not profitable. Also only hire foreign workers on visa paying them less better yet illegals. CEO's need to make 100-1000X the average employee even tho they do nothing. Buyout the competition. Shareholders above all else. Thats "capitalism" baby.
I might back this if they somehow added little radial fins that create forms for arched members to radiate like bike spokes. Once it's set you would pour more concrete into these and it forms ribs. First place anchors so that they become bonded. Bam
My buddies dad took his shed, stapled tarp down to it, added smooth layer of packed dirt like a Hobbit hole and poured cement to encase it. Long story short he now has a Fallout shelter

The amount of scientist you would create if we gave all these pods to third world countries would make the biggest wave of scientific impact the worlds has ever seen.
Dig a large ditch. Set the concrete tent up in it. 5hrs later you have a instant Basement or fall out shelter. bury it with dirt and your good to go. no one can see it.
Yeah, but you'd have to create some type of entrance to it before you bury yourself in that tomb. Plus there'd have to be a pipe leading to the surface for air
GeorgeCF99 If you put rebar on the outside of it, and spray gunite on it it would probably support the weight. You'd have to brace the inside with shoring, to keep it from collapsing, while shooting on the gunite
James Kong That might work, but seems like you're only using the tent then as a form for the actual reinforced concrete. Still, I'd be concerned about the load of the concrete being poured or shot over top of the existing tent and causing a failure. With at least 2" of concrete surrounding the rebar, I sure wouldn't want to be the one engineering it!
doesnt need to be clean drinking water. Pump water from any stream. It just needs h2o so the concrete can do some chemical reactions and become strong. Kind of like bondo (powdered drywall mud) you mix with water and it hardens within a short amount of time.
@@lukasdoofus2592 you understand people will walk literal kilometers to fill a single Jerry can full of dirty polluted water which they use for drinking right?
Nope, they won't be able to afford to waste that much water, 1,000 litres is a tonne, and one tent will not do. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong) Also concrete absorbs the water so these tents couldn't be inflated in some kind of a 'garage' in order to 'catch' the evaporating water as the water is retained by the concrete, that's why during rain concrete doesn't absorb water, as it's already full of it. It simply wouldn't be cost effective, unless they find a way to extract water at Mars (I read a long while ago about potential places where water may exist, I don't know if by now these speculations have been confirmed or debunked).
artfx9 Go to reddit on the /r/science sub, they'll be an AMA soon with someone who is researching how it will be important to accomodate human needs on long-term journeys (so far everything was condensed as journeys were short, however humans would not be able to live in those conditions long-term). It's been about 7 hours and people already asked a lot of questions, the researcher will start answering questions soon but some have already been answered by other users.
Sadystyczny Masochista Water has been confirmed on mars. It is in fact quite common, but all of it is ice, and the atmospheric pressure is too low to allow liquid water. The biggest problem would probably be the weight and size of the dry thing. Way to expensive to transport. And concrete is made from limestone, which doesn't exist on mars. (It is practically just sea shells)
Like hell they wouldn't. With this combined with Hesco Barriers, they could construct FOB/COBs in a fraction of the time and man power it takes now with C-Huts and such. These also won't burn.
But, what if you don't have electricity to blow it up... or access to a water pump to saturate it? It still appears to need technology to get this thing functional. Not too good for true a survivalist scenario. Unless of course, you have buckets, a water source and a ton of lung power.
It's still a world easier than carrying, mixing (with water), molding and shaking normal concrete. They didn't say they do miracles. But with this tech, the military (or relief services) can house a couple hundred people only with a water container truck.
Stavros Pagonidis I would say it is not quick help when some crisis arises, but more of longer term, yet still temporary solution. Take as an example earthquake. Thousands people lose home. You do not want them to live in tents for decades yet you can not build enough buildings, if nothing else you will not have enough building equipment (trucks, cranes, mixers, etc), not enough builders and there would be additional problems with supplies for construction work. This way, you can quite easily and quickly raise a house and as seen from video, only one vehicle would be needed. Some cistern would carry that bag in trailer, then pump in water, then provide power for air compressor. This way you will provide house, which is already better than many houses people now live (in poor countries), that can provide much better shelter than any other tent that could be provided in huge numbers.
just a thought , some say they are not long lasting , (find it hard to be leave) , but i think you could go one step further and spray it with spray foam insulation , ow even if you where going to have a problem with the concrete dome ext , you will never have a problem with the spray foam insulation , i have has some left over and sprayed 2 beer case on top of one another , let it set up , cut out a lid on the top and used it as a beer cooler , boxes brake down over time , and keeps beer and ice cold for days .
John Installed a new concrete tent in his yard. He has a neighbor, Bop. So Bop looks over the fence and syas to john " Hey john, I didnt know you took such giant turds
Model railroaders have used plaster cloth for years to make scenery. Just dip it in water and spread it over some supporting structure, often just crumpled newspaper. A similar technique is to mix a thin plaster slurry and dip paper towels in it todo the same thing. It's call hard shell scenery.
That is a impressive styled tent to have I wonder if they will make them out of other matters as well like Stone, Metal, Wood, Other Plastics, Glass, and Rubbers. And plenty of other elemental devices.

Unfortunately, it would collapse. Concrete shelters and basements need rebar to withstand the weight of the backfill.
GeorgeCF99
If you put rebar on the outside of it, and spray gunite on it it would probably support the weight. You'd have to brace the inside with shoring, to keep it from collapsing, while shooting on the gunite
GeorgeCF99 It is kind of like a combination Geodesic Dome and Roman Arch I believe it would support the backfill.
