Quite welcome, glad we could be of assistance. I look forward to
reading the docs, I am at work right now and cannot yet.

Re: [papercreters] FILE LINKS for my research study
Saying that your file exceeds the 5MB limit is like saying an atomic bomb exceeds a hand grenade : )
Well worth the download, though. All that ASTM info can be really handy! Your test results are interesting, though hard for me to interpret since I live in a primitive country that doesn't use the metric system, one of only three in the world.
If you want, I can put a copy of both at http://files.starship-enterprises.net along with the bunch of other alt building files and miscellaneous other junk. There it won't expire after a few days, and can be linked to from the group home page.

[papercreters] Latest idea of using PTO for papercrete mixer
We're having a time building our mixer because we don't want to have to
drive and tow, I guess. We could not get the electric 6.5 hp motor at
a reasonable price any more. We tried a gas 6.5 hp engine and it still
did not provide enough power to turn the blades through the thick stuff
in an oblong 100 gal. tank.
Hubby bought a car axle, I think it was off an S610 truck?? We are
having to reconfigure the thing, going up through the bottom this time
and just using the one set of blades on one rod instead of the two
rods, a set of two blades each. Jury's still out if this is going to
chop up any paper that collects at the long ends of the oblong tank,
but Hubby seems to think this will work this time. Sure hope so. I
have been waiting a long time for my papercrete mixer--was supposed to
have been my Christmas present last year. :0)
He will then connect this somehow to our tractor's pto to turn it.

Great , I am very interested in the results.
When I get my press built I am going to try running the paper through a
hammer mill and mixing it with clay, sand and fly ash and try to use as
little water as possible. I am hoping that I can make bricks that are
uniform in thickness .
In my view this will never be taken seriously if you try and convince the
masses that this is a viable idea while apologizing for the uneven size and
shoddy look of the bricks.

I just have access to one of those old trucks for free. I can get it free , it may be a bit much though. I am talking about a 2 ton dump truck. I might be able to salvage one of a one ton that would be smaller .
I do not have access to Rice Hull ash , just fly ash from the TVA plants. I am still not sold on papercrete yet ,having heard of people who lost everything trying to use it. There are some uses for it I can see but it will never become a mainstream material until it can be produced in uniform blocks.
So far I don't see how to do that except with a press. Apparently it is not so easy as I get no response from the living in paper website when I ask them if they are ready to market their press yet. Has anyone tried drying the paper and mixing it with soil? It seems a 50/50 mix of paper and earth in a compressed earth block would be a great compromise. If it gave you half the insulation of papercrete and half the thermal flywheel effect of ceb it would work for me.and might be easier to get approved. Perception is reality in some cases. You can tell people it does not matter the blocks are irregular but it does.
Not because they are not viable but because the perception is that the quality is poor.
My main focus is to make blocks to build earth ovens from. I think I can use the Rocket Stove technology combined with an mudbrick oven that would be super efficient and not have to be swept every time you use it.. Here in Tennessee many people are still using electric heat while the forest floor is littered with the wood the loggers left behind. I want to build a really cool outdoor wood heater that will bake bread and pizza a well as heat the house and provide hot water.
I have built one for myself but it is far from efficient.
The mudbricks would shorten the time to build the ovens by weeks and eliminate the purchase of firebricks. I have a creek with the worlds best clay for that purpose 1000 feet from my door. . Also I am told they can be waterproofed enough to make pavers a lot cheaper than with cement .If you can make good quality driveway pavers competitive at all with poured concrete it will sell.
To me the way I would go as far as houses would be either to use rice hulls in a modified stick frame ,12" walls, or a double layer ceb wall with papercrete poured between it for insulation. That was you would have the thermal mass and the insulation .

RE: [papercreters] Horizontal Presses vs Vertical
WOW, talk about overkill, a multi stage dump truck ram could probably compress wall panels. And only work a few inches of it.
I like it!
Rice hull fly ash is one of the best pozzelons available and can be mixed as 60 or more % replacement for cement be stronger and more resilient.
The Ferrocement Net discussion group Archives have some information on wood and sawdust cement composites, and I have a few files saved on my hard drives.
It has lots of merit but is another whole field of study not much different than papercrete. Fresh Saw dust and wood chips need to be aged or leached.
I believe you can use a sand clay soil and rice hull fly ash to make your own cement without
Pure pozzelon reactions are much slower than Portland cement reactions but can be ultimately stronger.

From my understanding the advantage of a horizontal press is it
compresses from the edge of the block and therefore gives a consistent

press could not do the same thing? I could build it horizontally but I
don't see why I need to as long as the molds and the piston are

I am trying to engineer a small hydraulic or air over hydraulic press.
If I get serious about a big high production press I was thinking
about rebuilding the hydraulic pump and cylinder from an old Chevy
dump truck
to use. The power would be great enough to compress a half a dozen
