Oddbean new post about login | logout @2a51540c i was thinking similar- i want to make extruded hollow bricks from clay, then fill with aircrete
@woodland creature :pleroma_fox_tan: Maybe one of us can build and share a brick extruder. My brother has some local bricks from long ago that are extruded large clay bricks. Like 12"x12"x5", I might use one of those as a pattern.
@2a51540c i think we would need a multi-stage system that crushes, sifts, mixes water and extrudes with a big screw through dies
@woodland creature :pleroma_fox_tan: yee. Smaller might not necessarily be cheaper for me since my dad has 3 100hp explosion proof motors just sitting hanging out in his barn. Been trying to think of machines I can make that use those, the motors would be the main expense. Bearings probably second.
@2a51540c i want a continuous extruding and firing system that has a built in back hoe and gas fired kiln. this is how my thought process prevents me from accomplishing anything
