[papercreters] Re: Brick Press

Ron,

The work of GVCS is good. They have shown videos of their CEB press working and it seems to be doing well. But I believe a CEB press requires a fairly high pressure. I believe that pressing papercrete is a good idea, but the pressure needed will be only 1/10 or 1/20 of that for CEB.

Also CEB, I assume. produces little water when squeezed. Papercrete will produce a lot, so you may need to build in water channels.

They have a new version at:

It is Open Source Ecology a site where they are building (DIY), making plans, and sharing to the world 100 "civilization tool kit" machines. They have a few done already and one is a CEB press. With a few modifications I believe this could produce papercrete blocks far cheaper than the $25,000.00 Barry Fuller wants for one of his.
