  • Daniel, CDO & co-founder of Terran Robotics shows us how to make Adobe from the basic ingredients using a basic method anyone can replicate at home. After the mixing process Terran CEO Zach shows us how they do compression testing to ensure the adobe would be strong enough for the ISO/ASTM standards as they apply to adobe mixtures. After the how to section we get to hear a little bit about Terran Robotics and the vision their team has for the future. Next week I will release the video of the drone testing in action!
    This fresh startup is bootstrapping their company to build out a construction system based on a flying drone controlled with in house developed AI and that isn't even close to the only thing built in house. Terran robotics sees the double edged sword of a materials & labor problem in the construction industry. The solution may lie in adobe mixtures of straw gravel and clay to make a long lasting weather proof & comfortable material.

    Equal amounts? By weight? By volume? What kind of clay? What size aggregate? A tarp for mixing? How about a cement mixer? What did the stress tests show with straw and without? In the '50s I mixed my adobe using half clay, half sand, water-emulsified asphalt, 50-50, in a wheel barrow, poured in a form. 40 years later, outside blocks looked almost new.

    We made some organic homemade soil using that canvas method.
    It had all kinds of good stuff in it and produced huge amounts of good tomatoes and herbs, veggies.
    Wish I still had the recipe.
    It was in some book.
    Had, chicken manure, mushroom,
    And good soil and a couple of other things. Soil enrichment makes all the difference.

      Yes a big part of our vision is in reimagining how people live. We are excited to build one off homes for folks but there is far greater cost savings and community building opportunities in imagining earthen materials deployed at scale. One of the biggest advantages of our drone system is the ability to build more than one structure at at time.

    Full circle. Very ambitious, especially multi-story cobb - though they built mud beautifully up to seven stories in Yemen. Still standing after centuries (but it does not rain there).

      Cob was recently added to the code in the United States and even thought it is primarily for one story we are designing for multi-story, multi-family structures.
      We do need bigger eves around here than Yemen but you can look to England for a good source of old earthen structures in a rainy place.

I’ve loved your part of Indiana since watching Breaking Away and have dreamed about living where there are four seasons and away from the problems of today’s urban dwellers in the USA. I grew up in Los Angeles and wouldn’t last long in your summer or your winter. It’s one of those dreams that don’t include the realities.
