'''Eliminate shaker components.'''
- steeper hopper sides
- different hopper to press geometry turn the hopper 90 degrees
- shift hopper to move with lateral cylinder the motion shakes the hopper
- load with auger or conveyor
- prepare a soil mix that performs better in the
- bumpers, detents or mechanical shaker associated with the motion of the slide

'''Symmetry for Alternate Assembly'''

permit the CEB Press to be assembled in a mirrored manner for convenience
of the work site

'''Insulating CEB (lightweight too)'''
Consider mixing as much as 70% perlite, styrofoam or other closed cell
insulator into the soil mix. This could be tested with one or two blocks
pressed with various insulating materials and soil mixes. Test for
shrinkage, compression capacity and R Value. Perhaps a composite block,
half compressed earth and insulated compressed earth, might make a
better exterior wall because of thermal mass on the inside and insulation
on the outside.

'''Mixed Soil Transport Auger or Conveyor'''
Moving the soil from ground level into a smaller hopper with steeper
sides could be accommodated with a material transport auger. Also, the
tractor has the ability to apply enough down pressure to seriously damage
a CEB Press a risk which is eliminated by filling the hopper with a soil
mix transport auger. While traveling in the auger the soil may be further
mixed and kept broken into small pieces. This has been discussed in OSE
forums by [http://forum.opensourceecology.org/discussion/139/designing-auger-geometry-for-materials-handling/p1 Wolfrick],

'''Soil Mixer'''
This has been proposed and discussed in the past [[Soil Mixer]] many
commercial CEB Presses are fed from circular tub mixers, others from
hammer mills and ball crushers.

'''Interchangeable Parts''' within the entire OSE OEB series.

There are at least three variations:
1- fully automatic CEB press,
2- compression powered CEB press,
3- full manual CEB press.
