The [[CEB_Press_Intro|"Liberator" Compressed Earth Block Press]] is a machine that makes compressed earth blocks (CEBs). It takes earth/dirt/soil and squeezes it really hard to make solid blocks which can be used for building. Compressed earth blocks 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! '''({{LinkLang|CEB_Press_Intro|more...}})'''

LifeTrac is a low-cost, multipurpose open source tractor. It serves as a workhorse backbone for many of GVCS technologies.

Featuring a modular design and detachable PowerCube units, it has the ability to rapidly switch between a variety of GVCS machines via the QA Plate. The machine is overbuilt with a focus on lifetime design and easy of repair.

Four hydraulic motors provide skid steer power to the wheels, and a unique chain tread system enables navigation of fairly extreme terrain. (more...)
