Papier liant ( fait maison) - Sous les Tilleuls Le papier liant, papier-béton ou papercrete qu'est-ce que c'est ? C'est une invention états-unienne datant de la fin des années vingt qui a pour but de faire un béton à partir de papier. Le principe ? on prend du papier on ajoute de l'eau on le malaxe on ajoute du sable et pour finir du ciment ou de la chaud. La recette ? 1 cement, 3 paper, 4 sand maj : 50% wet paper pulp/ 30% damp earth/ 10% dry sand/ 10% Portland cement/ 60% wet paper pulp/ 20% damp earth/ 15% dry sand/ 15% Portland cement/ 65% wet paper pulp/ 25% damp earth/ 10% Portland cement/ 70% wet paper pulp/ 15% damp earth/ 15% Portland cement/ Personnellement j'ai modifié la recette. papier eau paille de lavande terre chaux Je suis plutôt dans un hybrid-adobe comme disent les états-uniens. Technique ? Passons maintenant au coté technique de la chose. Sur les enveloppes, les fenêtres en plastique ne sont pas super, il faut penser à les retirer avant de les malaxer. Pourquoi faire ? Pour moi
The future according to Google's Larry Page Note: On Jan 3, as Fortune published this article, the Federal Trade Commission ended its investigation of Google's search practices saying it found no evidence that the company manipulated search results in violation of antitrust laws. The European Commission and other regulators continue to investigate the issue. FORTUNE -- When Sir Martin Sorrell, CEO of WPP Group, the giant advertising agency, visited Google this past fall, CEO Larry Page sent a car to pick him up at the Rosewood Hotel about 20 miles away. Page's chauffeurless car service is no mere parlor trick. MORE: Google - No. 1 on Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work For Sounds like a crazy mashup of the Jetsons and the '80s TV show Knight Rider.

Scotland Community Shows The World Why All Homes Should Be Made Out of Hemp Many people are becoming aware of ways to live that are more harmonious with the planet. It seems that we are transitioning to a very ancient understanding of how to operate here on Earth, with a very advanced ‘know how’ of technologies and methods to begin making that transition. New ways of living are coming to light and although you may not hear about them often, communities all over the world are starting to implement them. A new sustainable housing project in the Northwest of Scotland will use industrial hemp as the main building material. An English housing company that specializes in hemp-based construction called ‘Hemcrete Projects,’ supplied the system. Hemp has many uses, over 50, 000 to be exact. Combined with insulation made from Hemp fibre, Hembuild provides the village in Scotland with houses made from a combination of insulation and thermal inertia. Hempcrete is very versatile as it can be used for wall insulation, flooring, walls, roofing and more. Sources:
Building StrawBale Houses Strawbale houses are cheap, easy to build and can be put up in a relatively short period of time. Strawbale houses are usually made by stacking rows of straw bales with a moisture barrier between the bales and the supporting platform. Building with bales of straw has become very popular and can be seen in many areas of the Southwestern United States. Straw is a renewable building material and is a great insulator from the elements.

Quelle aubaine pour les personnes ayant de petits revenus et qui méritent aussi d’accéder à un habitat de qualité. A l’heure où l’accession à la propriété est de plus en plus élitiste et où l’on voit nos banquiers, assureurs, architectes et autres, rouler dans de grosses voitures, il y a vraiment quelque chose à faire pour changer tout ça. Cette alternative est bien entendu réservée aux gens qui pensent que l’on est toujours mieux servi que par soi-même ou qui se voient refuser un prêt pour l’acquisition d’une maison bas de gamme de type Bouy… ou autre, et cela, malgré un salaire et un emploi fixe. Lorsqu’un banquier nous refuse un prêt pour l’achat d’un habitat, plusieurs solutions s’offrent à nous : on peut se prostituer pour augmenter ses revenus, demander une forte augmentation à son employeur, voler, hériter, ou encore opter pour l’auto construction.
The inevitability of smart dust I’ve put forward my opinion that desktop computing is dead on more than one occasion, and been soundly put in my place as a result almost every time. “Of course desktop computing isn’t dead — look at the analogy you’re drawing between the so called death of the mainframe and the death of the desktop. Mainframes aren’t dead, there are still plenty of them around!” Well, yes, that’s arguable. The desktop will increasingly belong to niche users. For the rest of the world? People never wanted computers; they wanted what computers could do for them. Everyday objects are already becoming smarter. The sensors you carry with you may well generate more data every second, both for you and about you, than previous generations did about themselves during the course of their entire lives. The end point of this evolution is already clear: it’s called smart dust. Makes desktop computing look sort of dull, doesn’t it?

Hemp building What is it? It’s building with ‘hempcrete’ which is a mixture of the following three components: hemp ‘shiv’: hemp is a plant that has been used for millennia for making textiles. The shiv is the waste from the textile industry – the woody / pithy core of the stemsa lime binderwater These 3 components are used in different ratios depending on the strength or insulative properties you require for the part of the building it’s going to be used on. A field of hemp on a farm in France. Hempcrete can be used for walls, for floors and as an insulation layer in roofs / ceilings – but it’s not structural, i.e. it’s not strong enough to support the weight of a building alone, and so it tends to be cast around a timber frame, where it provides stiffness and insulation. In areas where hemp is grown for textiles, hemp shiv has been used for generations as animal bedding. Shuttering being added to a very simple timber frame for a hempcrete kitchen extension; note the bags of hemp shiv and lime binder.

Kurzweil joins Google to work on new projects involving machine learning and language processing Ray Kurzweil confirmed today that he will be joining Google to work on new projects involving machine learning and language processing. “I’m excited to share that I’ll be joining Google as Director of Engineering this Monday, December 17,” said Kurzweil. “I’ve been interested in technology, and machine learning in particular, for a long time: when I was 14, I designed software that wrote original music, and later went on to invent the first print-to-speech reading machine for the blind, among other inventions. I’ve always worked to create practical systems that will make a difference in people’s lives, which is what excites me as an inventor. “In 1999, I said that in about a decade we would see technologies such as self-driving cars and mobile phones that could answer your questions, and people criticized these predictions as unrealistic.
This Pioneering Grandma is Building These Tiny Sustainable Homes Out of Hemp Hemp is the only plant that can feed you, house you, clothe you and heal you. The DEA considers hemp to be a dangerous substance and it’s still classified as a schedule I drug, alongside heroin and ecstasy, even though the plant contains almost no THC and has no psychoactive effects. Many believe this classification is the result of the oil industry’s grip on the legislative process in America, because hemp is one of the most viable alternatives to plastics, fuel and other building materials, in fact, it used to be an important domestically produced crop, and it even contains extraordinary health benefits. “Hemp is the only plant that can feed you, house you, clothe you and heal you.” The Tiny House Movement is Growing As a response to unbridled consumerism and desire for infinite growth inherent in our economy, some are finding that satisfaction in life is not dependent on having and maintaining the ‘American Dream.’ Unity – Tiny Hemp Housing Final Thoughts About the Author
