[[File:Liberator_bricks.JPG|right|400px|thumb|Bloques prensados en [[The Liberator]]]]
La '''Prensa de Bloques de Tierra Comprimida "Liberadora"''' es una máquina que hace bloques de tierra comprimida ('''BTC''' en Español, CEB en Inglés).

La [[CEB Press]] usa tierra y la comprime compactamente para hacer bloque sólidos, útiles para la construcción. Los bloques de tierra comprimida tienen muchas ventajas como material constructivo: Al hacer los materiales constructivos a partir de lo qu eestá disponible en el sitio de cosntrucción, se elimina la necesida de transportar lso bloques desde otro lugar, reduciendo el costo financiero y el impacto ambiental del transporte. Los bloque sde Tierra Comprimida son muy resistentes y aislan bien el calor y el sonido, siendo muy útiles para construcciones energéticamente eficientes (especialmente combinados con el ahorro energético del transporte hasta el sitio de construcción). Mejor aún, el material que usan ya está en el lugar, y no se necesita comprar nada (a no ser que se quiera estabilizar con cal o cemento, para formar un [[BTEC]]). Busca en la Wiki [[Compressed Earth Blocks]] y la [[:Category:CEB|categoria BTC]] por más detalles acerca de construir con BTCs.

La Liberadora ha sido completamente diseñada y ensay con el equipo de [[Open Source Ecology]]. Dado que la Liberadora es una tecnología Open Source, puedes descargar libremente las instrucciones apra construirla tu mismo a partir de materiales que puedes obtener por tu cuenta, o contactar ''opensourceecology[at]gmail[dot]com'' para comprar un kit o una máquina terminada. Si estás en Argentina, puedes contactar a ''oseargentina[arroba]librelist[punto]com'' para buscar asesoramiento local.

Construir tu propia máquina puede parecer intimidante, pero cada paso del proceso está completamente documentado y la comunidad OSE está disponible en nuestros [http://openfarmtech.org/forum/ foros de discusión] si necesitas ayuda, consejo o un par de manos.

Usando la Prensa BTC, dos personas pueden construir un muro circular de 1,8 metros de altura, 6,1 metros de diámetro y 30 cm de espesor, en un día de 8 horas, aunque el tiempod e construcción puede variar dependiendo del tiempo de preparación, el equipo disponible, (tractor para preparar el suelo y mover los bloques a donde serán aplicados), la calidad del suelo y otros factores. Cuanto más grande sea el tamaño del bloque, más rápido se podrá erigir el muro, pero con el costo de tener que manipular mayor peso. Los bloques de la liberadora pesan un promedio de 11,3 Kg.

===La Búsqueda de la Libertad===

Esta cansado de vender tu tiempo para crear dinero para alguien mas, dejando solo raros momentos y fines de semana para hacer lo que ama (Si todavia tiene energia a ese punto)? Que pasaria si pudiera eliminar la burocracia en su vida? Si puediera terminar su contribucion financiera personal a la guerra y mantener su dinero fuera de los cofres de los lideres corporativos? Estamos desarrollando las heramientas, las redes y la comunidad para que hacer posible para todos la autosuficiencia tecnologicamente moderna. Es tiempo de empezar a producir solo lo suficiente para proveer una vida de calidad a usted mismo? Esta listo para divorciarse de los sistemas que requieren coercion, injusticia, y ruina economica, mientras promueven una connexion a la tierra y desarrolla sus verdaderos talentos? Este movimiento radical esta cada vez mas cerca de su alcance.

===Vida Moderna Autosuficiente===

Como?

Obtenga un equipo de diez o mas personas habilidosas que quieran vivir de forma diferente, mentalidad visionaria incluida. Esto podria ser el aspecto mas dificil de hacer este sueño realidad. Mientras mas y mas personas se vuelven desilucionadas conm las cosas que hacen para vivir en esta sociedad, esto se hace mas facil.

Obtenga los fondo para comprar un terreno de 10 acres (4046m<sup>2</sup>) e instale un {{LinkLang|Fab Lab|Fab Lab}}. Junte un poco de metal de desecho del basurero mas cercano y {{LinkLang|Foundry|fundelo}}, dando la materia prima que necesitara para construir la base tecnológica de su nueva comunidad. Un Fab Lab personal mas una computadora con acceso a software de código abierto y planos le da el poder de construir sus propias maquinas con el click de un mouse y unos giros a una llave inglesa. Lleva el poder económico de la automatización y la eficiencia de diseño a las manos de los dueños de las chacras.

Construya una {{LinkLang|CEB Press|prensa de ladrillos de tierra comprimida}} de alta producción para crear residencias cómodas y de alta calidad a partir de la tierra del sitio. Cuando se toman en cuenta los problemas de ecología, se vuelve claro que los ladrillos de tierra comprimida son uno de los materiales de construcción mas avanzados conocidos por el hombre. Produzca su propia comida plantando un {{LinkLang|OSA|huerto}}, construyendo un {{LinkLang|Modular Greenhouse|hinvernadero}}, creando in jardín, criando animales lactantes, un estanque, y un grupo de pollos. La adición de una {{LinkLang|Microcombine|microcosechadora}} aumenta la facilidad de la producción de grano. Fabricar su propio {{LinkLang|LifeTrac|LifeTrac}} puede reducir dramáticamente la labor requerida para construir viviendas y tener un sistema exitoso de producción de comida.

Un {{LinkLang|:Category:Solar Power|sistema de energía solar}} provee energía a su nueva fortaleza de paz, con unos días de almacenaje si el Sol se esconde. El Sol no cobra nada. Un sistema de respaldo podría involucrar plantar una cosecha de combustible, o ir a un restaurante local y recolectar aceite de desecho para hacer biodiesel en los días extremamente fríos como los miembros de la {{LinkLang|Factor e Farm|Factor e Farm}} hicieron en los años anteriores. Una variedad de formas de explotar la {{LinkLang|:Category:Energy| energía}} están siendo exploradas.

Si el metal de desecho deja de estar disponible, se puede extraer aluminio de la arcilla del sitio en un horno alimentado por gas comprimido producido de la astilla de madera de desecho.

No tiene suficiente dinero para un Fab Lab avanzado? Construya uno usted mismo empezando con un sistema mas pequeño. Una {{LinkLang|3D Printer|impresora 3D}} ({{LinkLang|RepRap|RepRap}}) puede ser construida por menos de 400 dolares, y no requiere mas poderoso que una computadora [http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/OLPC OLPC]. Una {{LinkLang|Multimachine|Multimáquina}} es una combinación de un taladro, fresadora y torno, y cuesta algunos cientos de dolares en partes. Los componentes del Fab Lab estan siendo diseñados para que puedan ser construidos de planos libremente disponibles, y estas dos tecnologías le pueden dar el comienzo que necesita para construir uno por usted mismo, substituyendo dinero por sudor.

OSE esta tomando otro proyecto, construyendo el {{LinkLang|Global Village Construction Set|Equipo de Construcción de la Aldea Global}} (GVCS por sus siglas en Inglés), un conjunto de maquinas junto con las herramientas necesarias para fabricarlas. Por esto, los prototipos del GVCS contienen partes comercialmente producidas y disponibles. Después de que un conjunto inicial, incluyendo un Fab Lab, es prototipeado y probado, la gente construyendo conjuntos subsiguientes debería ser capaz de comprar o intercambiar por partes creadas por otro GVCS.

===Financiamiento===

Un numero de pequeñas empresas podria usarse para apoyar la construcciony desarrollo de una comunidad construyendo con el objetivo de la autosuficiencia. Por ejemplo:
* Huertos instalados como negociosos "usted elige" pasivos.
* Venta de servicios de fabricacion a los granjeros locales.
* Talleres de propagacion de arboles.
* Talleres de entrenamiento para la construccion de edificios con bloques de tierra.

===Libertad===

Por el resto de su vida, haga lo que realmente quiera. Si los problemas importantes del mundo son su preocupacion, preste su tiempo y esfuerzo a encontrar soluciones innovadoras. Si quiere dar mas energia a su desarrollo personal y entendimiento, tome el tiempo para hacerlo. Cuando controla su destino, todos se benefician.

Imagine que mientras que sus operaciones se ponen en movimiento, no puede evitar notar que otros alrededor suyo estan moviendose fuera de la grilla, empezando a producir elementos de codigo abierto en la industria Fab Lab. Los empleados publicos se van de la ciudad al no tener mas problemas que resolver o crear...

==What to Bring==
Think "Camping with Power Tools". The HabLab has a kitchen, bathroom, common area, bedrooms and storage space. The '''kitchen''' has a full oven, a top loading refrigerator, and a sink with filtered drinking water. The '''bathroom''' has 3 dividers between 2 flush toilets and 2 stand up showers, the bathroom also has 2 sinks. The common area has couches seats and tables, there are also standard electrical outlets. The '''bedrooms''' vary in size, there are 4 couple rooms and 2 single rooms, there are about 4 desks and 6 beds too.
There is parking are for about 10 cars. Of the 30 acres about 8 acres is forested. The forested area is nearby hablab and the workshop, and there is space for tents and hammocks.

The village of Maysville, Mo is a 50 minute walk, 20 minute bike-ride, or a 5 minute car-ride away.
The town of Cameron, MO is 90 minute bike-ride, or 20 minute car-ride.

We have put together a [[Guide to OSE Projects]] that can help you figure out what project you might want to work on and figure out who to contact to participate.

===Manage a Project===

We are looking for online or full time on-site project managers to lead the development of tangible products to be deployed at Factor e Farm. At present, we have 3 projects being managed: the CEB, Sawmill, and Solar Turbine. Each project may be divided into sub-projects. For example, the Solar Turbine relies on the development of the steam engine, metal casting, open source lathe, and other sub-projects. If you are interested in leading the development of one of the components or sub-components of the {{LinkLang|GVCS}}, please let us know.

===Share Your Expertise===

If you are an expert in any of the many bodies of knowledge that relate to our project of creating {{LinkLang|GVCS tools|open source machines / tools}}, we would love help improving our designs. The more open source technologies and tools we have, the less we need to be locked to proprietary technologies, the closer we come to making our vision a reality. If you can help us design better tools, we would appreciate your input.

You can:
*Review the plan and development process for the {{LinkLang|Global Village Construction Set}}.
*Help us design a specific project or a sub-assembly of a project. We are currently requesting review and bids on our {{LinkLang|Specifications}} for a number of projects.
*Look at our [[Specialists|list of subject areas ]] in need of an expert to see if your expertise matches up with needs as we currently see them.
*Send us a proposal for the development of a possible open source tool or technology to our project.

We're also looking for someone to:
*Produce CAD drawings and fabrication drawings for the tractor, CEB press, Power Cube, and rototiller.
*Help with project documentation and technical writing.
*Volunteer to write grants for project proposals
*Collaborate as a professional grantwriter for a percentage of the funds raised.

===Get your university to collaborate===
We are interested in collaborating with university teams to design and build the tools of the [[Global Village Construction Set]]. Students of engineering, agriculture and development studies have a great opportunity to undertake a meaningful project and help with the work we are doing. There are several ways university students can help -
*Design, build and document one of the tools of the [[Global Village Construction Set]] (or propose and build a new tool we hadn't thought of)
*Replicate one of the tools we have already designed, such as the [[LifeTrac]] tractor, or the [[Compressed Earth Block press]]
*Help us build the documentation, such as drafting CAD files for the GVCS tools
*Check the possible [[Universities|tasks for Universities]].
*Any other way you want to contribute!

If you are interested in collaborating, please post on the [http://forum.opensourceecology.org/categories/education forum] explaining your area of study, what projects you are undertaking in university, and how you would like to collaborate.

===Collaborate on the Farm===
[[File:joz.jpg|thumb|Constructing a better future.]]
Before considering volunteering at the farm, please read the following:

*Read about [[Factor_e_Farm#What_it.27s_like_at_Factor_e_Farm| what it's like at Factor e Farm]].
*{{LinkLang|Factor e Farm Social Contract}}
*Factor e Farm's {{LinkLang|Rules of Conduct}}.

We are seeking individuals to come to Factor e Farm for one month {{LinkLang|Dedicated Project Visits|project-based visits}} to help develop the {{LinkLang|Global Village Construction Set|GVCS}} and the infrastructure at Factor e Farm. Proposals for projects are being accepted and reviewed. The suitability of proposals depends largely on a candidate's level of skill and experience. This is also our route for accepting new people for long-term stays as part of the Factor e Farm experiment.

Ideally we are looking for:

* Confident and highly dynamic self learners and researchers.
* Highly motivated innovators who are open to new ideas and excited by diversity of thought.
* Developers who can take a project from concept drawing to real world implementation.
* Those comfortable in rural and rustic settings.
* Willing team members, self starters, and project leaders.

We are offering a place where you can put the philosophy of sustainability into action. We are a physical experiment in building a post industrial global village - a space for all people to learn and grow. Because of the diversity of our activities, we believe a Factor E experience can be exceptional and life-changing, but that doesn't mean it's for everyone. There are countless opportunities available in the realm of sustainability and justice. Look at: [http://www.wiserearth.org/ Wiserearth]; [http://www.idealist.org/ Idealist]; [http://www.growfood.org/ GrowFood]; [http://www.wwoof.org/ WWOOF]; [http://www.growinggrowers.org/ Growing Growers Kansas City].

===For Technical Developers===

If you would like to help bring this project to completion, we invite proactive collaboration on many fronts. First, see {{LinkLang|Proposal 2012}} for a list of the 50 technologies that we are developing, for their product ecologies, and for general information about the development process. Second, read and re-read the {{LinkLang|Core Values of OSE}}, as these inform all of the technical, organizational, and community development around the project. Then, read about the technical development process at the [[GVCS Development Template]], and the publishing standards for our results at the [[Product Template]]. The key page is the [[GVCS Tools Status]] - a '''GVCS master index''' for displaying the status and needs of each project, and see a simpler table at {{LinkLang|GVCS tools}}. If there is no entry for a given project and step, that indicates that no work has yet been done. Each entry in the table is hyperlinked so you can find out the status of each step, and the next steps and needs become transparent. At this stage, after general assessment of a given project, you are ready to contribute. Begin by filling out the {{LinkLang|Team Culturing}} survey according to the notes and instructions stated on that page. Then, contact the Project Manager for that project to see how exactly you can become involved, or, find out about {{LinkLang|Project Manager Duties}} if you would like become a project manager yourself. You can also see the [[GVCS Budget]] for a general description of the expected development and prototyping costs.

Success on the above requires that project managers are recruited for each of the 50 projects. It also depends on developing a corresponding organizational, web, and funding strategy. You can check our current [[Project needs]].

===For CAD Modelers and Drafters===
Creating accurate models and drawings in [[CAD]] for the GVCS is critical in providing a level of detail of part design and assembly that is usually not available with other mediums such as video and descriptive text. These models and drawings provide a means of sharing information and collaborative design which is at the core of the Open Source Ecology philosophy.

If you would like to help with the modeling and drafting, head over to the [[Development_Team/CAD_Team|CAD Team]] page.

===For Organizational Developers===

Organizational development involves all the supporting roles that lead to the [[50/2/2]] Apollo Program for the GVCS, and the positioning of the project as a world-class effort of improving the human condition. Organizational development involves the management, architecture, organiztional form, fundraising, marketing, PR, and other functions that this project needs to reach its goals.

Transparency should include disclosure of strategy, infrastructure, team, and other details that make development work possible.

See a list of [[Development Processes]] for inspiration on how to improve the success rate of your projects.

Organizational infrastructure includes organizational form, organizational architecture, process design, operations management, product management, resource development, donor relations, human resources, handling of finances, transparency, conflict resolution, media development, public relations, and other tasks that allow the technical development to flow smoothly. We are presently installing all of this infrastructure. At present, we are working on becoming an NGO or nonprofit, and we are defining the organizational architecture. On the resource development front, our first step is to install an instance of [[CiviCRM]] to handle contacts. To get involved, first fill out the {{LinkLang|Team Culturing}} survey. Then email our [[Operations Manager]] or [[Resource Developer]] to get involved. You can read about [[50/2/2]], our {{LinkLang|GVCS Organizational Infrastructure}} that is being developed to make this happen, the {{LinkLang|GVCS Resource Development Strategy}} to support the Organizational Infrastructure, {{LinkLang|GVCS Web Strategy}} to facilitate development, {{LinkLang|GVCS Media Development Strategy}} to communicate the work, {{LinkLang|GVCS Forum Policy}} to handle entry-level discussion and to filter it into actual development progress, learn how to help OSE win {{LinkLang|Awards and Contests}}. What else is missing here?

===For Web Developers===

The web infrastructure includes the main website, wiki, blog, forums, design repository, CiviCRM platform, and community portal. We are presently reworking all of this infrastructure. You can check our [[IT Tasks]] and help us.

Hexayurt construction

2012-08-11T01:06:27Z

Eudoxia:

{{OrigLang}}
== Introduction ==

This article is intended to provide a detailed description of the construction of the hexayurt so that the successes can be replicated and the few mistakes can be avoided.

The design applied at Factor E Farm as the Paul Newman Center for Temporary Housing (kind of kidding... Rob, call it what you like) was a perfect hexagon with 6' walls, 10' peak, and 14' foot width. It will comfortably house 3-4 people and should last about 10 years, given precautions taken. It is a tension structure, so that the building itself will give it structural support.

Rob, who has a history and family background in building construction, was quite skeptical of the structural integrity of the building. It proved to be excellent, and come together better than was thought.

== Step 1: Materials ==

Materials aquired were:
* 14? 4x8 OSB boards
* 100' of metal flashing (about 5-6" wide, and of substantial thickness)
* about 18 2x4s (for the roof, they dont need to be anything too fancy, we used salvaged wood that was fairly thin)
* Lots of screws (we used drywall, though we would encourage stainless steel)
* Paint
* Tar (dont need too much)
* Gravel (for the foundation)
* Vinyl steal material (this was an extra precaution)

== Step 2:Painting and Tarring, Site Prep and Foundation ==

'''Painting and Tarring'''

The next step was to paint and tar the OSB boards. All of the OSB boards were painted on all edges, as OSB's weakness is moisture on the ends, which causes it to swell and rot. The paint applied on the edges, corners and such 3 inches in to the board should quell this.

Additionally, Tar was applied to the bottom edge of 6 of the OSB boards, about 4 inches in, so that high water would be deterred from any prolonged exposure to the boards.

'''Site Prep and Foundation'''

We used open engineered technology for site prep! but any rototiller will do. We used the lifetrac with open rototiller to break up the soil, then we went through, measured everything out, ensured there was more than enough space for the walls, then pulled out roots, broke up clumps, and leveled it out with the rakes, and in the process stomped it down with our boots. We used a 2x4 and level to ensure the grade was correct.

Then, we dumped gravel at the assumed edges of the structure, measured it out, and then tamped it down at about 5-6 in wide by 3 in thick, leaving space for a door.

Also, make sure to clear the area from any meddling chickens. (Richard: One of them left a little gift for me on the ground that my hand discovered while making the wall panels)

== Step 3: Cutting ==

After the paint and tar dries, the next step is to start cutting the boards.
Because we decided on 6' walls instead of 8', we were able to eliminate 3 OSB boards from the materials list and cut 3 in half for the topmost board.

# So, cut 3 OSB boards in half, making them 2'x8'.
# Cut 6 OSB boards in half diagonally, corner to corner for the pinweel roof (take extra precaution to ensure that these are straight and true, as they will ensure that the roof comes together well in the end. Also, if you are using foiled boards, cut them in half in opposite ways, so as to provide all foil on top)
# Cut 12 2x4s to have a long edge and a short edge, at a 30 degree angle, so that they can be linked together inside horizontally and form the hexagon with the walls
# Cut flashing strips into 6 8' strips and 6 6' strips for the walls, then additionally 6 more 8' strips for the roof
# Using a hammer punch, punch along roof strips and wall strips all along the edge, about 2-3cm in from the edge, making double punches near the ends. For the vertical wall strips, make sure that they are more dense. 2 people can set up a process doing this and have it done very quickly. Make sure to wear gloves as the flashing has sharp edges!!! (richard: i learned this the hard way. twice...)

For speed, have one small team cutting and punching flashing while another team draws and cuts board.

== Step 4: Panel Construction ==

'''Wall Panels'''

With tar side down, attach 4'x8' OSB boards to 2'x4' boards, using the 2x4 with the long edge against the boards. Ensure that they are all flush, and that the 2x4 is evenly attached to both boards!

After this, attach flashing strip to one edge (left or right, doesnt matter, just keep it consistent throughout).

A trick Rob discovered with the flashing, to keep it flush as possible with the board, is to use the screw gun at an angle, pointing away towards the loose flashing end. It doesnt need to be an extreme angle, just enough to pull it taught when the head goes in.

Then, attach the flashing and the topmost 2x4 to the top of the 2'x4' OSB board. Leave a consistent space between the top of the 2x4 and the top of the OSB board (we left about 1/4 in). This makes placing the roof much easier and safer.

When attaching any of the flashing, ensure that you are placing less than half (more like a third) of the width of the flashing on the 1st board. This will ensure a good amount will be left to attach to the other board, whether roof or wall, given that the angle between will take up some of that width.

'''Roof Panels'''

Make a triangle with the panel pieces, screwing them into the 2x4 underneath evenly. Ensure that all is flush and that the bottom edge of the 2x4 is far enough away from the bottom edge of the panel to ensure that it wont get in the way when raising the roof. These 2x4s do not need to attach to the rest of the frame, as the roof is self supporting.

Then, like the wall panels, attach flashing consistently on one side, leaving width space for angle and attachment.

== Hexayurt Review ==
[[User:Jeremy|Jeremy]] 10:12, 13 February 2009 (PST)
I tried living in the hexayurt for a little while, here are my thoughts. It was in November 2008. Weather was cold but not much rain or snow yet. Yurt was quite sturdy and kept the wind and water out, but was cold inside. Before Bob left we put the 55 gal. drum stove in and cut a hole in the side for the flue that had two bends. The stove was and is a difficulty, hard to light and very smoky. I slept on the futon mattress we had on the dirt floor of the yurt at the time. The floor was still kind of damp, I guess it was built when the ground was not entirely dry or water had gotten under the walls underground. In the morning it seemed very damp inside the yurt, which I think was from the damp ground. I don't know how it would be if it had a good stove.

Nick took over the yurt when he came here. We moved the stove and had the flue go straight up to have a better thermal draw. With the stove going the yurt is pretty warm, but the door needs to be opened a lot to let the smoke out. It doesn't have insulation so it cools off quickly without a fire constantly going. The drum stove either burns out quickly and leaves the yurt cold in the morning or burns extremely hot and smoky all night making the yurt almost too hot and smoky to stay in. A good stove might leave it still pretty cold in the morning but it could be fired up easily and the temperature regulated better. Smoke still seems like a problem to me, even with a good stove in the cordwood hut.

Ah, yes, I'm not surprised than an uninsulated plywood structure was cold in winter. The Hexayurt geometry does not have decisive advantages in heat retention over other building shapes.

Your results are perfectly consistent with any use of an uninsulated structure on exposed dirt in winter in Missouri, with a poorly functioning stove. Even 1" styrofoam boards on the ceiling, 1/2" styrofoam boards on the walls, and a plastic tarp on the floor would have helped you immensely. Also, the use of a [http://www.rocketstoves.com rocket stove] from Aprovecho in Oregon (plans available from them) or the very cheap [http://www.woodgas-stove.com woodgas stove] that Vinay recommends on his website would have kept you warm without the extreme hassle with smoke and complicated chimneys that you suffered. Better luck this winter?

I also recommend the [http://www.rocketstoves.com rocket stove] book mentioned above, and have built some small "pocket rocket" designs to experiment with so far. Building the fancy version with cob thermal storage battery would be ideal for maintaining comfort, but probably time consuming enough for a dedicated project visit itself.

Digital Fabrication

2012-08-10T21:02:34Z

Eudoxia:

{{OrigLang}}
Digital fabrication is a new kind of industry that uses computer-controlled tools to turn digital designs into useful physical objects.

<div style="font-size:115%; text-align:center">We've had an industrial revolution. <br>We've had a digital revolution. <br>Now let's have a digital industrial revolution.</div>

Examples of digital fabrication technologies include the [[Multimachine]] - an open-source mill-drill-lathe. Combined with computer numerical control (CNC) of the workpiece table, it becomes a digital fabrication device capable of making metal pieces of any arbitrary shape from forks to fenders and from ballbearings to Bunsen burners. The only limit being human creativity and the designs available in the [[Open Hardware Repository]].

The aim of the Open Ecology movement is to catalyse the new digital industrial revolution and help create what we call Industry 2.0. This certainly has implications that no one has anticipated, but some characteristics are apparent -

'''Digital fabrication is flexible'''. This allows for one machine to fulfil many roles and reduces space and resources. Industrial mass-production required a different factory for every type of product, but flexible, digital manufacturing allows the same set of tools to be use to make any electromechanical device you care to name. Flexibility makes it worthwhile to invest in your own fabrication tools; only industrialists would invest in a tool that makes the same thing over and over again, but a tool that can respond to one's needs is a tool worth having in your home.

'''Digital fabrication is decentralized'''. It is no longer necessary to have large factories where technology is made before being distributed around the world. Instead, technologies can be made locally. Essentially, the products travel most of their journey at light-speed as digitally stored data. Design is global; instantiation is local.

'''Digital fabrication is cheap'''. Once a person has fabrication machines, they can create a car, a mobile phone, agricultural equipment or whatever at the cost of raw materials. The standard industrial supply-chain greatly inflates the price of manufactured goods. If you buy a commercially-manufactured computer, your dollar has to cover the costs of mining the material, shipping the material to China, running the machines, labour, marketing, more shipping, and mark-ups by several retailers. Digital fabrication, by empowering people to manufacture their own wealth in their backyard, cuts out all those extra costs and reduces the cost to just energy plus information plus raw materials. Energy comes free from the sun and information comes free from the Internet, so the only cost is raw materials.

'''Digital fabrication is customizable'''. The Web is revolutionizing media and information services because of the ease with which users can generate their own content. The old media (TV, newspapers, radio etc.) were generally one-way channels that made it easy to be a consumer of information and difficult to become a producer. But with blogs, out-of-the-box websites, wikis and so forth, anyone can now broadcast information. Digital manufacturing represents the same revolution of user-generated content being brought to physical goods like electronics. With digital manufacturing, everyone can generate their own phone, their own computer, their own mp3 player or alarm clock. They can express their creativity in their products, rather than having to buy mass-produced ones.

'''Digital fabrication empowers the poor'''. Housing, medical equipment, agricultural equipment, electronics - let's assume that it would be a good thing to provide poor people with these things. How are we to do it? You could say there are two ways: One is to manufacture the goods in wealthier places and ship them over and the other is to manufacture them on-site where they are needed. Of these two solutions, only the second one creates local economic stimulus, teaches technological skills and makes communities economically self-sufficient.

'''Digital fabrication is evolving'''. The ultimate fruit of digital fabrication will be the [http://molecularassembler.com Molecular assembler] that rearranges atoms and puts them in place at great speed to build absolutely anything, including nanoscale robots and ham sandwiches. The current generation is a Fab Lab, a workshop of about 14 tools costing about $50,000 that can build nearly any electromechanical device. One of the core projects of the Open Ecology movement is to create the [[RepLab]], a second-generation Fab Lab that uses only open-source hardware, is self-replicating (one RepLab can be used to build another) and costs only a fraction of what first-generation Fab Labs cost.

Hexayurt construction

2012-08-10T20:35:52Z

Eudoxia: /* Step 3: Cutting */

{{OrigLang}}
= Introduction =

This article is intended to provide a detailed description of the construction of the hexayurt so that the successes can be replicated and the few mistakes can be avoided.

The design applied at Factor E Farm as the Paul Newman Center for Temporary Housing (kind of kidding... Rob, call it what you like) was a perfect hexagon with 6' walls, 10' peak, and 14' foot width. It will comfortably house 3-4 people and should last about 10 years, given precautions taken. It is a tension structure, so that the building itself will give it structural support.

Rob, who has a history and family background in building construction, was quite skeptical of the structural integrity of the building. It proved to be excellent, and come together better than was thought.

= Step 1: Materials =

Materials aquired were:
* 14? 4x8 OSB boards
* 100' of metal flashing (about 5-6" wide, and of substantial thickness)
* about 18 2x4s (for the roof, they dont need to be anything too fancy, we used salvaged wood that was fairly thin)
* Lots of screws (we used drywall, though we would encourage stainless steel)
* Paint
* Tar (dont need too much)
* Gravel (for the foundation)
* Vinyl steal material (this was an extra precaution)

= Step 2:Painting and Tarring, Site Prep and Foundation =

'''Painting and Tarring'''

The next step was to paint and tar the OSB boards. All of the OSB boards were painted on all edges, as OSB's weakness is moisture on the ends, which causes it to swell and rot. The paint applied on the edges, corners and such 3 inches in to the board should quell this.

Additionally, Tar was applied to the bottom edge of 6 of the OSB boards, about 4 inches in, so that high water would be deterred from any prolonged exposure to the boards.

'''Site Prep and Foundation'''

We used open engineered technology for site prep! but any rototiller will do. We used the lifetrac with open rototiller to break up the soil, then we went through, measured everything out, ensured there was more than enough space for the walls, then pulled out roots, broke up clumps, and leveled it out with the rakes, and in the process stomped it down with our boots. We used a 2x4 and level to ensure the grade was correct.

Then, we dumped gravel at the assumed edges of the structure, measured it out, and then tamped it down at about 5-6 in wide by 3 in thick, leaving space for a door.

Also, make sure to clear the area from any meddling chickens. (Richard: One of them left a little gift for me on the ground that my hand discovered while making the wall panels)

= Step 3: Cutting =

After the paint and tar dries, the next step is to start cutting the boards.
Because we decided on 6' walls instead of 8', we were able to eliminate 3 OSB boards from the materials list and cut 3 in half for the topmost board.

# So, cut 3 OSB boards in half, making them 2'x8'.
# Cut 6 OSB boards in half diagonally, corner to corner for the pinweel roof (take extra precaution to ensure that these are straight and true, as they will ensure that the roof comes together well in the end. Also, if you are using foiled boards, cut them in half in opposite ways, so as to provide all foil on top)
# Cut 12 2x4s to have a long edge and a short edge, at a 30 degree angle, so that they can be linked together inside horizontally and form the hexagon with the walls
# Cut flashing strips into 6 8' strips and 6 6' strips for the walls, then additionally 6 more 8' strips for the roof
# Using a hammer punch, punch along roof strips and wall strips all along the edge, about 2-3cm in from the edge, making double punches near the ends. For the vertical wall strips, make sure that they are more dense. 2 people can set up a process doing this and have it done very quickly. Make sure to wear gloves as the flashing has sharp edges!!! (richard: i learned this the hard way. twice...)

For speed, have one small team cutting and punching flashing while another team draws and cuts board.

= Step 4: Panel Construction =

'''Wall Panels'''

With tar side down, attach 4'x8' OSB boards to 2'x4' boards, using the 2x4 with the long edge against the boards. Ensure that they are all flush, and that the 2x4 is evenly attached to both boards!

After this, attach flashing strip to one edge (left or right, doesnt matter, just keep it consistent throughout).

A trick Rob discovered with the flashing, to keep it flush as possible with the board, is to use the screw gun at an angle, pointing away towards the loose flashing end. It doesnt need to be an extreme angle, just enough to pull it taught when the head goes in.

Then, attach the flashing and the topmost 2x4 to the top of the 2'x4' OSB board. Leave a consistent space between the top of the 2x4 and the top of the OSB board (we left about 1/4 in). This makes placing the roof much easier and safer.

When attaching any of the flashing, ensure that you are placing less than half (more like a third) of the width of the flashing on the 1st board. This will ensure a good amount will be left to attach to the other board, whether roof or wall, given that the angle between will take up some of that width.

'''Roof Panels'''

Make a triangle with the panel pieces, screwing them into the 2x4 underneath evenly. Ensure that all is flush and that the bottom edge of the 2x4 is far enough away from the bottom edge of the panel to ensure that it wont get in the way when raising the roof. These 2x4s do not need to attach to the rest of the frame, as the roof is self supporting.

Then, like the wall panels, attach flashing consistently on one side, leaving width space for angle and attachment.

[[User:Jeremy|Jeremy]] 10:12, 13 February 2009 (PST)
I tried living in the hexayurt for a little while, here are my thoughts. It was in November 2008. Weather was cold but not much rain or snow yet. Yurt was quite sturdy and kept the wind and water out, but was cold inside. Before Bob left we put the 55 gal. drum stove in and cut a hole in the side for the flue that had two bends. The stove was and is a difficulty, hard to light and very smoky. I slept on the futon mattress we had on the dirt floor of the yurt at the time. The floor was still kind of damp, I guess it was built when the ground was not entirely dry or water had gotten under the walls underground. In the morning it seemed very damp inside the yurt, which I think was from the damp ground. I don't know how it would be if it had a good stove.

Nick took over the yurt when he came here. We moved the stove and had the flue go straight up to have a better thermal draw. With the stove going the yurt is pretty warm, but the door needs to be opened a lot to let the smoke out. It doesn't have insulation so it cools off quickly without a fire constantly going.

The design applied at Factor E Farm as the Paul Newman Center for Temporary Housing (kind of kidding... Rob, call it what you like) was a perfect hexagon with 6' walls, 10' peak, and 14' foot width. It will comfortably house 3-4 people and should last about 10 years, given precautions taken. It is a tension structure, so that the building itself will give it structural support.

Rob, who has a history and family background in building construction, was quite skeptical of the structural integrity of the building. It proved to be excellent, and come together better than was thought.

= Step 1: Materials =

Materials aquired were:
* 14? 4x8 OSB boards
* 100' of metal flashing (about 5-6" wide, and of substantial thickness)
* about 18 2x4s (for the roof, they dont need to be anything too fancy, we used salvaged wood that was fairly thin)
* Lots of screws (we used drywall, though we would encourage stainless steel)
* Paint
* Tar (dont need too much)
* Gravel (for the foundation)
* Vinyl steal material (this was an extra precaution)

==Step 2:Painting and Tarring, Site Prep and Foundation==

'''Painting and Tarring'''

The next step was to paint and tar the OSB boards. All of the OSB boards were painted on all edges, as OSB's weakness is moisture on the ends, which causes it to swell and rot. The paint applied on the edges, corners and such 3 inches in to the board should quell this.

Additionally, Tar was applied to the bottom edge of 6 of the OSB boards, about 4 inches in, so that high water would be deterred from any prolonged exposure to the boards.

'''Site Prep and Foundation'''

We used open engineered technology for site prep! but any rototiller will do. We used the lifetrac with open rototiller to break up the soil, then we went through, measured everything out, ensured there was more than enough space for the walls, then pulled out roots, broke up clumps, and leveled it out with the rakes, and in the process stomped it down with our boots. We used a 2x4 and level to ensure the grade was correct.

Then, we dumped gravel at the assumed edges of the structure, measured it out, and then tamped it down at about 5-6 in wide by 3 in thick, leaving space for a door.

Also, make sure to clear the area from any meddling chickens. (Richard: One of them left a little gift for me on the ground that my hand discovered while making the wall panels)

==Step 3: Cutting==

After the paint and tar dries, the next step is to start cutting the boards.
Because we decided on 6' walls instead of 8', we were able to eliminate 3 OSB boards from the materials list and cut 3 in half for the topmost board.

-So, cut 3 OSB boards in half, making them 2'x8'.

-Cut 6 OSB boards in half diagonally, corner to corner for the pinweel roof (take extra precaution to ensure that these are straight and true, as they will ensure that the roof comes together well in the end. Also, if you are using foiled boards, cut them in half in opposite ways, so as to provide all foil on top)

-Cut 12 2x4s to have a long edge and a short edge, at a 30 degree angle, so that they can be linked together inside horizontally and form the hexagon with the walls

-Cut flashing strips into 6 8' strips and 6 6' strips for the walls, then additionally 6 more 8' strips for the roof

-Using a hammer punch, punch along roof strips and wall strips all along the edge, about 2-3cm in from the edge, making double punches near the ends. For the vertical wall strips, make sure that they are more dense. 2 people can set up a process doing this and have it done very quickly. Make sure to wear gloves as the flashing has sharp edges!!! (richard: i learned this the hard way. twice...)

For speed, have one small team cutting and punching flashing while another team draws and cuts board.

==Step 4: Panel Construction==

'''Wall Panels'''

With tar side down, attach 4'x8' OSB boards to 2'x4' boards, using the 2x4 with the long edge against the boards. Ensure that they are all flush, and that the 2x4 is evenly attached to both boards!

After this, attach flashing strip to one edge (left or right, doesnt matter, just keep it consistent throughout).

A trick Rob discovered with the flashing, to keep it flush as possible with the board, is to use the screw gun at an angle, pointing away towards the loose flashing end. It doesnt need to be an extreme angle, just enough to pull it taught when the head goes in.

Then, attach the flashing and the topmost 2x4 to the top of the 2'x4' OSB board. Leave a consistent space between the top of the 2x4 and the top of the OSB board (we left about 1/4 in). This makes placing the roof much easier and safer.

When attaching any of the flashing, ensure that you are placing less than half (more like a third) of the width of the flashing on the 1st board. This will ensure a good amount will be left to attach to the other board, whether roof or wall, given that the angle between will take up some of that width.

'''Roof Panels'''

Make a triangle with the panel pieces, screwing them into the 2x4 underneath evenly. Ensure that all is flush and that the bottom edge of the 2x4 is far enough away from the bottom edge of the panel to ensure that it wont get in the way when raising the roof. These 2x4s do not need to attach to the rest of the frame, as the roof is self supporting.

Then, like the wall panels, attach flashing consistently on one side, leaving width space for angle and attachment.

=Hexayurt Review=
[[User:Jeremy|Jeremy]] 10:12, 13 February 2009 (PST)
I tried living in the hexayurt for a little while, here are my thoughts. It was in November 2008. Weather was cold but not much rain or snow yet. Yurt was quite sturdy and kept the wind and water out, but was cold inside. Before Bob left we put the 55 gal. drum stove in and cut a hole in the side for the flue that had two bends. The stove was and is a difficulty, hard to light and very smoky. I slept on the futon mattress we had on the dirt floor of the yurt at the time. The floor was still kind of damp, I guess it was built when the ground was not entirely dry or water had gotten under the walls underground. In the morning it seemed very damp inside the yurt, which I think was from the damp ground. I don't know how it would be if it had a good stove.

Nick took over the yurt when he came here. We moved the stove and had the flue go straight up to have a better thermal draw. With the stove going the yurt is pretty warm, but the door needs to be opened a lot to let the smoke out. It doesn't have insulation so it cools off quickly without a fire constantly going. The drum stove either burns out quickly and leaves the yurt cold in the morning or burns extremely hot and smoky all night making the yurt almost too hot and smoky to stay in. A good stove might leave it still pretty cold in the morning but it could be fired up easily and the temperature regulated better. Smoke still seems like a problem to me, even with a good stove in the cordwood hut.

Ah, yes, I'm not surprised than an uninsulated plywood structure was cold in winter. The Hexayurt geometry does not have decisive advantages in heat retention over other building shapes.

--[[User:Andrewed|Andrewed]] 04:19, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
Your results are perfectly consistent with any use of an uninsulated structure on exposed dirt in winter in Missouri, with a poorly functioning stove. Even 1" styrofoam boards on the ceiling, 1/2" styrofoam boards on the walls, and a plastic tarp on the floor would have helped you immensely. Also, the use of a [http://www.rocketstoves.com rocket stove] from Aprovecho in Oregon (plans available from them) or the very cheap [http://www.woodgas-stove.com woodgas stove] that Vinay recommends on his website would have kept you warm without the extreme hassle with smoke and complicated chimneys that you suffered. Better luck this winter?

--[[User:Jeb|Jeb]] 04:29, 1 September 2009 (PST)
I also recommend the [http://www.rocketstoves.com rocket stove] book mentioned above, and have built some small "pocket rocket" designs to experiment with so far. Building the fancy version with cob thermal storage battery would be ideal for maintaining comfort, but probably time consuming enough for a dedicated project visit itself. The battery woodgas stoves look excellent for outdoor cooking on the go, but probably not much good for heating inside without draft ventilation. However, the new [http://www.woodgasfirepl.com patio model] would probably work great in a tipi by comparison.

Greenhouses

{{Category=Controlled-environment growing}}

Greenhouses are rooms that maximize natural light and can be used for controlled-environment growing. They may be stand-alone or part of a house. We aim to open source robust growing systems. This will empower people to grow high-value crops such as herbs - for self-sufficiency and for market.

Greenhouses need to stay warm all year round. This can be accomplished without using any energy at all - no electric heaters or fuel. A well-designed greenhouse can do this by using [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasonal_thermal_store seasonal thermal store], heat sinks, insulation and maximising solar heat and light. In keeping with Open Ecology principles, we aim to gather information in the public domain that allows people to build cheap, effective, zero-energy greenhouses.

==Inflatable greenhouses and Pillowdome==
[[File:Pillowdome.JPG|thumb|right|450px|Pillow dome: The Ark houses a growing environment consisting of intensive organic gardens, irrigated by the "exhaust" from large, transparent tanks containing fish. (See [[Aquaponics|aquaponics]].) The aquaponic tanks also serve as an effective heat sink, allowing an indoor climate warm enough to grow bananas in February, in New England, with no fossil fuel heat source.]]

Nick says: Inflatable greenhouses such as [http://www.isawitonthebox.com/tv/this-morning/inflatable-greenhouse-as-seen-on-this-morning this one] would eliminate frame material and make for quick easy setup. The only trick would be creating a good seal around the air columns. Most greenhouse film is a UV resitant type of polyethylene and can be "welded". [http://www.delviesplastics.com/welding.htm Here] is a plastic welding kit for $288. There may be better ways of doing but the concept seems to have potential.

Bob says check out [http://www.thegreencenter.net/pdf/dome1985.pdf pillow domes] - a kind of geodesic dome devised by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Baldwin Jay Baldwin] (a Bucky Fuller student) with Argon-inflated pillows of long lived UV transparent plastic ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tefzel Tefzel]). The concept was later applied on a much larger scale in the [http://www.edenproject.com/ Eden Project].

==Passive solar greenhouses==
[[File:Bolivian solar greenhouse.JPG|thumb|right|400px|Bolivian solar greenhouse]]Solar greenhouses incorporate special design features to maximize use of the Sun's heat so they can run without an input of energy. The article <i>[http://www.maximumyield.com/article_sh_db.php?articleID=289 Those Remarkable Bolivian Solarhouses]</i> from Maximum Yield magazine describes a UN project in Bolivia. Over 300 solarhouses were built. They cost $6/m<sup>2</sup> (56c per square foot) and proved themselves capable of growing warm-climate vegetables throughout winter high in the Andes without heaters. The article gives detailed descriptions of how they are built.

The design needs to do two things in order to achieve a comfortable growing temperature year-round: firstly, to maximise the use of the Sun's heat and light and secondly, to create a 'thermal mass' effect i.e. include elements that do not change temperature easily, to stabilize the indoor temperature.

Solar greenhouse design features can include -
*Low walls, only 100-120cm high (39-47 inches), painted black. Made of adobe and straw. For OSE, [[Superinsulated CEB Construction‎]] would be perfect. Alternatively, the floor could be sunk below ground level to provide better thermal mass, but this would require more labour to build.
*A domed or sloped roof of wooden poles stretched over clear polyethylene sheeting
*"Small windows are constructed in the adobe walls to allow for opening and closing to raise or lower temperature"
*The floor can be painted black or covered with something black to increase the heat it stores.
*If thermal mass needs to be increased more, fill black plastic bags with gravel or sand; these will store heat. In the Bolivian project, two liter bottles were painted black and filled with sand for this purpose. Black stones can also be used.
*Water tanks also act as a heat store. It might be worth considering [[Aquaponics|aquaponics]] in a solar greenhouse, as a large fishtank will regulate the temperature of the room. A large rainwater catchment, painted black, will work too.

==Earth Sheltered and Walipini greenhouses==
[[File:Walipini.jpg|thumb|400px|right|Walipini greenhouse]]A greenhouse can be built by digging a hole in the ground and covering it with glass. This takes advantage of the heat stored in the earth during the cold season (warmth in winter, cooling in summer). It is an adaptation of the idea of [http://earthshelters.com/faq/passive-annual-heat-storage-definition/ passive annual heat storage (PAHS)] to the greenhouse. Therefore very suitable for climates with cold winters. At the depth of several meters, there is very little seasonal variation in temperature. The earth around the greenhouse structure has large thermal mass.

The Benson Agriculture and Food Institute at Brigham Young University examined the concept in detail and has [http://www.bensoninstitute.org/Publication/Manuals/Walipini.pdf put together a manual] with specific designs ([http://openfarmtech.org/wiki/File:Walipini.pdf internal copy here]). These underground greenhouses are called ''"Walipini"'' (pit greenhouse) in South America. The Benson Institute's experiment was built in Bolivia, high up in the Andes where it gets ''really'' cold. Their greenhouse costs $250-$300 in materials and is designed to provide vegetables year-round for seven people. They recommend a minimum of 94 square feet (less than 8.75m<sup>2</sup>) of growing space per person.

[[File:Oehler greenhouse.jpg|thumb|300px|The basic design of the greenhouses in Mike Oehler's book]]Mike Oehler of [http://undergroundhousing.com/ UndergroundHousing.com], described a similar concept in ''The Earth-Sheltered Solar Greenhouse Book'', available [http://www.downarchive.com/ebooks/313290-the-earth-sheltered-solar-greenhouse-book-by-mike.html here]. This is an adaptation from his earlier work on [[Underground Housing|underground housing]] for residential purposes.

Eudoxia: /* Desventajas */

{{Lang|Construcción Earthbag}}

[[File:Cal Earth01.jpg |300px|thumb|right|Vivienda hecha por Nader Khalili de [http://calearth.org/ Cal-Earth] ]]
[[File:Cal Earth02.jpg |300px|thumb|right|Domo hecho por Nader Khalili at [http://calearth.org/ Cal-Earth]. Esta es la casa de reuniones, una trabajo extraordinario: El aparejo es alucinante, el espacio interior es intimo y formal, y las plantas que emanan del óculo son un maravilloso centro a la geometría de la arquitectura.]]
[[File:Earth-One-08.jpg |300px|thumb|right|"Earth One", dos series de bóvedas lado a lado, usando bolsas de tierra comprimidas. Puede ser posible utilizando la {{LinkLang|CEB Press|prensa de ladrillos de tierra comprimidos}}.]]
[[File:Eco-dome-09.jpg |300px|thumb|right|La construcción del "Eco Dome". Para cada habitación, una cuerda es estacada al suelo y usada como una guía mientras que la estructura es construida para que cada capa este bien distribuida.]]

''Extraído de: [http://www.earthbagbuilding.com/ EarthBagBuilding.com] ''

La construcción con Earthbags ('Bolsas de tierra', en Ingles; también llamadas 'Sandbags'; 'bolsas de arena') es tanto vieja como nueva. Las bolsas de arena han sido usadas por mucho tiempo, particularmente en el ejercito, para crear barreras protectoras o para controlar inundaciones. Las mismas características que las hacen útiles para estas aplicaciones se trasladan a la construcción de viviendas. Las paredes resisten toda clase de clima, e incluso balas, y pueden resistir calamidades naturales como terremotos e inundaciones. Pueden ser construidas simple y rápidamente, con recursos fácilmente disponibles, a un bajo costo.

Las construcciones Earthbag llenan un nicho único en la búsqueda de arquitectura sustentable. Las bolsas pueden ser llenadas con materiales locales y naturales, lo cual reduce el costo de manufacturar y transportar materiales. El material de relleno es generalmente de composición mineral y no esta sujeto a la descomposición (Incluso cuando esta húmedo), no atrae insectos, y es ignífugo: En otras palabras, extremamente durable. El material de relleno es en general no toxico y no produce gases tóxicos

Los edificios Earthbag tienen la tremenda ventaja de proveer masa termal o aislamiento, dependiendo de que estén llenas las bolsas. Cuando se llenan con tierra, proveen masa térmica, pero materiales mas ligeros, como piedra volcánica, perlita, vermiculita o cascaras de arroz proveen aislamiento. Las bolsas pueden actuar como cimientos impermeables y aislados si son llenadas con grava.

Como las Earthbags pueden ser colocadas en una variedad de formas, incluyendo domos, tienen el potencial de virtualmente eliminar la necesidad de materiales tensiles en la estructura, especialmente la madera y el acero usados comúnmente en los techos. Esto ahorra energía (Y contaminación) y protege a los bosques, que están siendo cada vez mas necesarios para absorber Carbono atmosférico

Otro aspecto de sostenibilidad de encuentra en la economía de este método. El material de relleno puede ser tan barato como la tierra, especialmente si se usa suelo del sitio de construcción. Las bolsas mismas pueden ser baratas si se compran bolsas de grano recicladas o bolsas mal manufacturadas, pero en cualquier caso no son particularmente caras. Las bolsas de arpillera son tradicionalmente usadas para esto, aunque funcionan bien se descompone. Las bolsas de polipropileno tienen mayor resistencia y durabilidad, siempre y cuando no se las exponga a la luz solar. Para habitación permanente, las bolsas deberían ser cubiertas con algún tipo de yeso, y este también puede ser barato.

La facilidad y simplicidad de la construcción de Earthbags también debería ser mencionada, dado que hay mucha mano de obra sin entrenamiento alrededor del mundo que puede ser usada para construir este tipo de edificios. Una persona familiar con los conceptos básicos de la construcción con Earthbags puede fácilmente entrenar a otros y hacer el proceso mas barato, y también mas plausible en áreas remotas del mundo donde no hay habilidades comunes de construcción.

= Ventajas =

* Mas rápidas, fáciles de construir y delgadas que las {{LinkLang|Earthships|Earthships}}.
* Las bolsas pueden ser llenadas de basura, mejorando el medio ambiente.
* Muy baratas.
* Amigables al medio ambiente, dado que la mayor parte de los materiales de construcción se producen en el sitio de construcción.

= Desventajas =

* Requieren múltiples contrafuertes.
* Es difícil construir paredes largas y rectas que sean estables.
* Las bolsas de polietileno pueden degradarse rápidamente incluso cuando son brevemente expuestas a la luz solar durante la construcción.
** Como [http://earthbagbuilding.wordpress.com/2011/01/31/durability-of-polypropylene-bags/ Owen Geiger dice], las bolsas son mas resistentes si son protegidas, por lo tanto la mayor parte de las casas de Earthbag están cubiertas con tierra, adobe o estuco.

* Amigables al medio ambiente, dado que la mayor parte de los materiales de construcción se producen en el sitio de construcción.

= Desventajas =

* Requieren múltiples contrafuertes.
* Es difícil construir paredes largas y rectas que sean estables.
* Las bolsas de polietileno pueden degradarse rápidamente incluso cuando son brevemente expuestas a la luz solar durante la construcción.
** Como [ Owen Geiger dice], las bolsas son mas resistentes si son protegidas, por lo tanto la mayor parte de las casas de Earthbag están cubiertas con tierra, adobe o estuco.

''From: [http://www.earthbagbuilding.com/ EarthBagBuilding.com] '' <br>

Building with earthbags (sometimes called sandbags) is both old and new. Sandbags have long been used, particularly by the military, for creating strong, protective barriers, or for flood control. The same reasons that make them useful for these applications carry over to creating housing. Since the walls are so substantial, they resist all kinds of severe weather (or even bullets) and also stand up to natural calamities such as earthquakes and floods. They can be erected simply and quickly with readily available components, for very little money.

Earthbag building fills a unique niche in the quest for sustainable architecture. The bags can be filled with local, natural materials, which lowers the embodied energy commonly associated with the manufacture and transportation of building materials. The fill material is generally of mineral composition and is not subject to decomposition (even when damp), attractive to vermin, or burnable...in other word it is extremely durable. The fill material is generally completely non-toxic and will not offgas noxious fumes into the building.

Earthbags have the tremendous advantage of providing either thermal mass or insulation, depending on what the bags are filled with. When filled with soil they provide thermal mass, but when filled with lighter weight materials, such as crushed volcanic stone, perlite, vermiculite, or rice hulls, they provide insulation. The bags can even act as natural non-wicking, somewhat insulated foundations when they are filled with gravel.

Because the earthbags can be stacked in a wide variety of shapes, including domes, they have the potential to virtually eliminate the need for common tensile materials in the structure, especially the wood and steel often used for roofs. This not only saves more energy (and pollution), but also helps save our forests, which are increasingly necessary for sequestering carbon.

Another aspect of sustainability is found in the economy of this method. The fill material can be literally "dirt cheap," especially if on-site soil is used. The earthbags themselves can often be purchased as misprints or recycled grain sacks, but even when new are not particularly expensive. Burlap bags were traditionally used for this purpose, and they work fine but are subject to rot. Polypropylene bags have superior strength and durability, as long as they are kept away from too much sunlight. For permanent housing the bags should be covered with some kind of plaster for protection, but this plaster can also be earthen and not particularly costly.

The ease and simplicity of building with earthbags should also be mentioned, since there is much unskilled labor available around the world that can be tapped for using this technology. One person familiar with the basics of earthbag building can easily train others to assist in the erection of a building. This not only makes the process more affordable, but also more feasible in remote areas where many common building skills are not to be found.

==Advantages==
*Faster, easier and thinner than [[Earthships|earthship]] building
*Since you can fill the bags with rubble, you're improving the environment by using rubble, otherwise it would be waste.
* very inexpensive
*environmentally friendly, since most of the construction materials are produced on site

==Disvantages==
* requirement for multiple buttresses
* difficulty in making long straight walls that are stable
* polyethylene bags may degrade very rapidly even when briefly exposed to sunlight during construction
** As [http://earthbagbuilding.wordpress.com/2011/01/31/durability-of-polypropylene-bags/ Owen Geiger says], bags are so resistant if they're protected. So, as the houses are usually covered with earth, adobe or stucco, they're durable

=== Other ways to help with translations ===

We can see it as a grid: some are interested in lines (one language), some in rows (some domain), some in cells (a specific page for a specific language):
* Some will want to be part of the Team (see above).
* Some will be interested in in some specific page for a specific language, not in translations in general.
* In time, some may even be interested in curating domain dictionaries ("shaft" is not a word I normally use so I don't know what it is in Spanish).

We'll find out as we grow.

== Tools and advice ==

* http://universalsubtitles.org/ - useful for subtitles, used at (example), now accepts vimeo too.
* http://piratepad.net - useful for cooperative transcription, with chat window on the side.
* [http://translate.google.com/toolkit/ Google Translator Toolkit] - Probably better than piratepad for cooperative (and machine-assisted) translations. Accepted formats include:
** URL of a file on the web
** URL of a Wikipedia article
** URL of a Knol article
** AdWords Editor Archive (.aea)
** HTML (.html)
** Microsoft Word (.doc)
** OpenDocument (.odt)
** Text (.txt)
** Rich Text (.rtf)
** SubRip (.srt)

== Wiki Translation ==
===Page Title Convention===
We will use the convention described at [http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Multilingual_Wiki The Document Foundation Wiki], that is, we should create [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Subpages subpages] with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes ISO 639-1] code (2-letter language code). See this example:

* Original page: [[Main Page]]
* French translation: Main Page/'''[[Main Page/fr|fr]]'''
* Portuguese translation: Main Page/'''[[Main Page/pt|pt]]'''

''(If you take a look at the top of the translated pages, you'll notice that the links to the various language codes are not properly formatted. Can you help fix this?)''

===Basics rules to create your pages===
* The name of the translated article ''My Page'' will be ''My Page''/'''xx''', where '''xx''' is the ''ISO code'' of the language in '''lower case'''.
* Always insert [[Template:OrigLang|'''<nowiki>{{OrigLang}}</nowiki>''']] at the top of the '''original ''English'' page'''. It will automatically display the links to all language versions of this page.
* Always insert [[Template:Lang|'''<nowiki>{{Lang|Translated Title}}</nowiki>''']] at the top of the '''''translated'' page''', which will automatically display the links to all other language versions of this page.
** ''Don't forget to replace '''Translated Title''' with the proper translation of the article title.''
* Make sure you are working on the new article and don't accidentally translate the original one.
* It will automatically add the language category to the pages.
* When creating a link to another page, use [[Template:LinkLang|'''<nowiki>{{LinkLang|Target page name|translated page name}}</nowiki>''']]
* When including a template, use [[Template:IncludeLang|'''<nowiki>{{IncludeLang|Template name}}</nowiki>''']]
* Look up difficult terms to translate in the [[:Category: Glossary|glossaries]], and add new terms as appropriate to help the others.

{{Tip|Translating Templates|
If you're translating a '''template''', please enclose the tags ('''<nowiki>{{OrigLang}}</nowiki>''' or '''<nowiki>{{Lang|Translated Title}}</nowiki>''') inside a '''noinclude''' node, like this:
* '''<nowiki><noinclude>{{Lang|Translated Title}}</noinclude></nowiki>'''
}}

=== Questions and suggestions to improve the process ===

The following are suggestions from translators. They can be explored to streamline the process further for the next translations.

* Wikipedia shows translations of this page in the left column. But I don't know if normal users are allowed into editing the left column. The default is leaving a menu of languages at the top of the page.
** One possibility is to change the '''Google Translation widget''' (at the left) so that it takes you to the language-specific subpage if it exists. If it doesn't exist, it would show the machine-generated translation instead.
* Is it possible to tag a translation as "synchronised with English as of today", so that if the main page in English changes, translators will be aware that the translation needs to be updated too? There's probably some kind of script that can at least run through headings and see that there have or haven't been major changes to the structure of the page.
* Translators read almost as carefully as implementers, or sometimes even more carefully, and both may detect:
** Ways to translate something better. These comments should go in the "discussion" page of the translated page.
** Ambiguities, lack of clarity, unnecessary complexity in wording or phrasing. These comments belong in the "discussion" page of the original page in English, because once they are solved they benefit both the original and the translations. An extra benefit of writing clearly (and feedback adds to this) is that automatic translation engines will probably produce better results.
** Links to both "discussion" pages should probably become a standard, with standard phrasing such as "comments about the translation" and "comments about the English page", or better.

== Video Translation ==

* There's some work done already.
* See [[Video translation]]
* ...

''(Have you noticed we now have '''ELEVEN translations''' for the main video at the front page? IIRC, we initially translated to Portuguese, Spanish and Italian only. Now, we also have '''Czech, French, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Swedish and Traditional Chinese'''. THANK YOU ALL who have contributed!)''

The '''CNC Torch Table''' (aka '''RepTab''') is a computer controlled machine that quickly cuts intricate patterns out of large steel sheets, that are difficult to cut by hand.
The machine should be able to interpret DXF files and cut out the defined parts.

Many parts that make up the 50 GVCS Tools can be cut on the CNC Torch Table, making this machine valuable for replication.

=Overview=
[[File:NewZealandWhiteRabbit.jpg|right|thumb|330px|thumb|A New Zealand White rabbit, generally considered the best breed to raise for meat]]Rabbits are a very easy way to provide meat for a resilient community or ecovillage. If you want to breed animals for meat, what could be easier to breed than an animal notorious for its fertility? Two does and a buck can easily produce 2kg of meat a week in a 1m<sup>2</sup> enclosure. The buck should be kept separate, and the doe placed in the bucks enclosure for mating. Rabbits can be fed most leaves and grass. New Zealand white rabbits make about one unit weight of meat for every tree units of feed.

Droppings can be used to fertilize plants - no need to compost it first. The fur is useful too.

A good tip from Mike Oehler: Keep them in a wire cage, but cover the floor with about an inch of dirt. This way the rabbits don't have to walk on the wires, which must be unpleasant for them. To clean the cage, you remove the rabbit, lift the cage and shake it. The earth, fertilized by rabbit droppings, falls through and you gather it for gardening.

You can make delicious rabbit marinade by putting it in a pot with red wine, chives, pepper and other spices, soaking it like that overnight in the fridge and then roasting it slowly.

Rabbits are best harvested at 8-12 weeks of age. See [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpwhOE74TMA How to skin & prepare a rabbit]

[http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/farmlife/msg0314264825610.html Useful discussion thread]

Want to see a creepy survivalist guy giving you good advice on how to raise rabbits? I thought so. Check out these YouTube videos:
*[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1sEpGxeTsg Part 1, mostly about cages]
*[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oR2Ink1ovE0 Part 2, mostly about breeding and birthing]
*[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PZh_gadbDY Part 3, showing how fast they grow]
*[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXAhzfqhMNE Part 4, slaughtering and skinning them]
*[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7tJO-IP0Jk Part 5, butchering]

According to [http://www.homesteadingtoday.com/filez/Rabbit_info.pdf this guide] (which is packed with useful information), "the New Zealand White rabbit holds the title for being the top breed to raise for meat purposes due to overall practicality for both the processor and the grower, and closely followed by the Californian. This determination is based on size, growth rates, feed conversion ratios, dress-out weights and meat-to-bone ratios."

The New Zealand White is fertile year-round and has a gestation period of about one month.

SKDB

2012-07-27T17:40:30Z

Eudoxia:

SKDB is a method for sharing hardware over the internet. It is under development by Ben Lipkowitz and [[Bryan Bishop]], among others,. "Hardware" means not just designs for circuit boards, but also biological constructs, scientific instruments, machine tools, nuts and bolts, raw materials, and how to make them. SKDB simplifies the process of searching for free designs, comparing part compatibility, and building lists of materials and components and where to get them. You could even say SKDB is "apt-get but for real stuff". The SKDB project is a means of indexing, cross-referencing and building dependency-trees for hardware goods. Tell it you want to build a car, and it will give you a list of the necessary components and sub-components and list the tools required to make each one.

[[RepLab]] will need a robust way to represent and track designs, builds, edits, forks and all the other information management challenges of an open-source distributed hardware project.

'''[[SKDB]]''' is new but extremely promising. Sites like Thingiverse are a great beginning, but 90% of the designs are for a RepStrap or a laser cutter, which both have the virtue of being reasonably 'plug and play'. When you have multiple tools requiring human intervention and parts as prerequisite components, a more sophisticated means of managing the digital designs is needed.

RepLab needs a representation format, and SKDB needs a meaningful test case to develop its functionality. At a minimum, all data for the projects should be described in YAML wherever possible.

In SKDB, hardware is organized into packages. Packages are a standard and consistent way for programs to find data. Packages may contain [[CAD]] files, CAM parameters, computer-readable descriptions of product specifications, product-specific code, and BOMs (bill of materials). For each part in a package there are a number of interface definitions, which describe how the part can connect with other parts, even parts from other packages. Each package also lists dependencies which have to be bought or built in order to successfully carry out a project. For example a drill press is required to make holes with a certain level of accuracy. SKDB downloads all of the dependencies automatically and compares them to your existing inventory, and generates instructions for your [[CNC]] machinery if you have any.
