You've got a typo in your Product Matrix: Earch --Dennis 09:44, 8 March 2009 (PDT)

CEB Press-I've found a company that will sell a CEB that produces two bricks a minute for $1500. http://www.ferncometal.com/brickfactory.shtml

My interest in the CEB stems from construction site visits in Jordan, Sri Lanka, Dubai and Oman. Interlocking bricks opens up a huge labor pool as skilled masons are not necessary. Any work on interlocking CEB at Factor E?

How much did yours cost to build?--Dennis 09:54, 8 March 2009 (PDT)


Have you noticed the 'toys-for-boys' aspect? Tools, cars, power. Additional projects might include looms and sewing machines. Ron Broberg 20:31, 22 July 2011 (CEST)

I'd like to second that 'Boys Toys' comment. As I understand it[1] Washing Machine are one of the greatest labor saving devices created. Villages also need to have clothes, food, communication, security. If you truly want to build '... Machines that it takes to build a small, sustainable civilization with modern comforts', then Washing Machines, printing presses, clothes, and food mixers are much more vital than something like a '3d Scanner' will ever be. I have yet to meet a farmer that uses a 3D scanner.

[1]* just googled for citations for that, but found little, so take that claim with some salt. Far McKon 20:31, 05 Nov 2011 (CEST)
