==What is it?==
[[File:Machine.jpg|right|400px]]The "Liberator" Compressed Earth Block Press has been fully designed and tested by the Open Ecology team. You can now follow the instructions to build your own, or contact us if you want to buy a kit or a finished machine.
 
Building a machine yourself might seem scary, but every step of the process is fully documented and the OSE community is available on our [http://openfarmtech.org/forum/ discussion forums] if you need help, advice, or a little hand-holding.
 
So what is this magnificent machine anyway? The Liberator is a machine that makes compressed earth blocks. That means it takes earth/dirt/soil and squeezes it really hard to make solid blocks which can be used for building. Compressed earth blocks (CEBs) have many advantages as a building material: by making the building materials from the ground on the site, they eliminate the need to cart them in from elsewhere. This cuts down the costs and environmental impact of transport. Compressed earth blocks are very strong and insulate well against both heat and sound. This makes for a very energy-efficient building. Best of all, there is no charge for using dirt; it is literally a dirt-cheap way of building! See the wiki page [[CEB intro]] and the [[:Category:CEB|CEB category]] for more details on building with CEBs.
