Primitive Technology: A-frame Roof Tile Factory
AdultsConstructionCreativityEducation...With the wet season only 2 months away and thatch being an impermanent material, I needed to make more roof tiles for a new hut that will withstand the next deluge.
Primitive Technology: Water Bellows (uses water instead of leather)
AdultsConstructionCreativityEducation...I built a Water Bellows. It’s an upside-down clay pot with an inlet valve and an outlet spout. The inlet valve is simply a hole in the pot with a leaf plastered to the inside with wet clay so that it forms a one-way flap valve.
Primitive Technology: Polynesian Arrowroot Hashbrown
AdultsCreativityEducationNature...I made a hashbrown from Polynesian arrowroot. A hashbrown is typically made from potatoes where it is mashed and baked on a pan.
Primitive Technology: Making Charcoal in a Closed Pot
AdultsCreativityEducationNature...I made charcoal in a clay pot by putting wood in it and heat the pot externally effectively making it like a retort.
Primitive Technology: Geopolymer Cement (Ash and Clay)
AdultsConstructionCreativityEducation...I have made wood ash cement before under the assumption that it was the calcium in the ash that gave it its cementitious properties...
Primitive Technology: Wet Season Destroys Thatched Workshop
AdultsConstructionCreativityEducation...The thatched workshop where I produce bricks, pottery, cement and charcoal for various projects was destroyed by prolonged rain from the wet season.
Primitive Technology: Volute Shaped Blower
AdultsConstructionCreativityEducation...I made a volute shaped blower where the housing for the fan is volute shaped, that is to say a widening spiral to test the effectiveness of a one way spinning impeller.
Primitive Technology: Brick and Charcoal Production
AdultsConstructionCreativityEducation...In this video I use the thatched hut to fire bricks and make charcoal in for the first time.
Building a Sled | Alaska: The Next Generation
AdultsConstructionHealthHistory...Daniel Apassingok, along with Chase and his family and friends help build a sled to help their every day lives.
Primitive Technology: New Brick Kiln Design
AdultsCreativityEducationNature...I cleared an area as a workspace for making bricks, trialed a new source of clay for brick making and tested a new kiln variant that uses fewer bricks than the previous design.
Primitive Technology: Making Charcoal (3 Different Methods)
AdultsConstructionLifeNature...About This Video:
With more iron smelting experiments coming up, I demonstrate 3 different methods to make charcoal, ranked easiest to hardest.
30 Days Building A Modern Underground Hut With A Grass Roof And A Swimming Pool
AdultsConstructionLifeNature...Today we show how to build an underground house with a pool and decorations, including an underground living room.
Primitive Technology: Iron Bacteria Cement
AdultsConstructionCreativityEducation...I developed a cement made from iron bacteria, then made pots from it to test its ability to set and not dissolve in water.
rimitive Technology: Decarburization of iron and forging experiments
AdultsConstructionCreativityLife...I took a brittle, high carbon/iron alloy (cast iron) made from local ore and used a decarburization method to reduce it's carbon content making it malleable and forged it flat by hammering.
Primitive Technology: Cane Water Filter/Siphon
AdultsConstructionEducationNature...I made a water filter from cane that siphons clean water from a dirty water while simultaneously using the xylem present in the the cane as a filter.
Primitive Technology: Rock-Throwing Catapult (Trebuchet)
AdultsCreativityEducationNature...I built a trebuchet, a type of catapult that uses a counter weight to store gravitational potential energy which is then used to fire a projectile via a sling.
