- Curtis Humphrey is a self-taught, innovative inventor who has been interested in construction since he was a child. He began working with alternative construction in his early twenties and quickly saw the need for a more sustainable and cost-effective method of building. This inspired him to start experimenting with different materials and methods. He has built Yurts, Domes, Straw-bale Cobb homes, all natural wood homes, and more, all off-grid.
After years of research and development, Humphrey invented the Styro-aircrete SIP panels, which are made from a combination of Styrofoam and concrete. These panels are lightweight, strong, and have excellent insulation properties, making them ideal for building walls, floors, and roofs.
The benefits of these panels are numerous. They are cheaper to produce than traditional Structurally Insulated Panels (SIPS), which makes them an affordable option for builders. They are also easy to install and require less labor, which saves time and money. Additionally, the panels are eco-friendly and regenerative, meaning they reduce the world's landfills of Styrofoam and utilize recycled styrofoam in their creation.
One of the main advantages of Styro-aircrete is its excellent insulation properties. The air pockets in the Styrofoam help to trap heat, making it an effective insulator against both hot and cold temperatures. Additionally, because Styro-aircrete is lightweight, it can be used to create large panels that are easy to transport and install.
In conclusion, Curtis Humphrey's Styro-aircrete SIP panels are a game-changer in the construction industry. His innovation has led to a more sustainable, affordable, and efficient way of building. Momentum Modular is quickly developing a minimum viable product to market, of DIY kits for anyone to install in their backyard.

I want to know more about this styrocrete framework and how you’re building your homes. This seems really awesome!
Galvanized metal and cement shouldn't touch. There is a chemical reaction and cement eats galvanized metal with time
Awesome , love it! ANy updates or classes coming up? Do you need a host?
What is your formula for the aircrete with the quantity for 50 gallon thank you
I'm planning to build for 3-bedroom house in Thailand all in Crete including the roof so if you could help me out with your formula and the 50 gal makes I'm very appreciate that thank you
Super cool!
I live down the road from you. Mind if come take a look in person?
We’re still working on a workshop program for people who want to make these themselves! There is inexpensive equipment available to make these panels - and the time to manufacture one - without a workflow established - is about 2 hours. Dry and cure time is 2 days.
Im about to be finished with the frame work for my tiny home on wheels and I was wondering if this air/styrocrete could be used to build the whole project, walls, roof and floor? All in steel 18g (or 16g maybe) studs
How can I reach you?
I'd like to know more about your styrocrete modular panels. I'm trying to work out my own DIY styrocrete SIPs.
There is a lot to discuss. It would best to be in person. We can offer consultation calls starting at $100 for a 2 hour call. We have a workshop we are setting up for fall, $500 for 3 days, lunch and building materials included, you get to take home sample product . If you can make that it would be ideal.
Let me know if these interest you.
@@handelhumphrey8596 Nice
I'm interested in your techniques and workshop. Is there one coming up? How can I join or find out more?
Awesome - and I'm interested and likely to build in Oregon - but I have to ask: I saw a note here that the intention is to patent a system?? I have no idea how this could be patented since the concept is available online from well before this in the US. Aircrete and styroaircrete have both been in use for a while, as has panelizing it in metal studs flat on the ground and then lifting them into place. Workshops sound great - but what do you plan to patent that would be so different??
We decided against patenting. The main intention was to protect our design of a certain styroaircrete mix between certain exterior and interior sheets - in order to stop other companies from simply mass producing and selling the panels themselves. However, we find that if this truly is an ingenious invention, we can release it “open source” and allow others to create and monetize on our own. We only hope for financial returns through our other solid services we offer to our customers.
@@handelhumphrey8596 why wait to find out if this is truly ingenious before sharing the formula? If it's going to be open source anyway, surely sharing now would help more people give it a shot and bring more attention to it
What do you think, if we use rice husk Instead of styrofoam???
