Nice! Brilliant build. Love it. I'm researching zip-tie-dome and also using air-crete. I'm wondering if both unique and smart building methods could be used together.
Seems like ziptie domes could sustain the weight of quite thick aircrete. I think its a good idea if its the DIY type aircrete and not the professional autoclaved aircrete( that americans are not familiar with it wich is why they resort to DIY aircrete). In this case ,the DIY aircrete of americans would be better suited than Ytong aircrete( wich is made in factory in somme giant ,,owens,, ) to cover a dome frame. I have a piece of aircrete on my geodesic dome,where the chimney of the stove passes through the dome wall. This idea could change the world .
Thanks for the comments. I am working on the concrete dome video this morning, and I will put in what I have learned about aircrete as well. Thank you for your input, it is very helpful. John Hurt
It is a thin shell, with latex cement, like used by Dr George Nez for his Hypar roofs. I should have it all explained in the next video. Thanks again the 2nd time. John
They are building a concrete dome with the 2v Silo. I should have a video about concrete domes soon. Thanks for watching. John Hurt
Your work John, has created a real beautiful community around the world. Keep going and we will too!
Zip tie domes are so amazing. Genius
A lot of fun. Thanks for watching. John
Your wife spoke to me about the rebar vs pvc. I am inclined to consider that if you think it would be better in the long run, John.

Are you familiar with the process Monolithic uses? Comparison?

Glad to see you back, I've been waiting for the foam concrete covering these domes, experiments. I there any updates?

@@ZipTieDomesthat's awesome. I'm looking forward to it. Thanks.
What is the diameter of the base and height? Thanks. I think this is brilliant.
The 2v Silo dome in this video is 17' wide, 13' tall, with 230 square feet of floor space. Thanks for watching the video. John Hurt
