Survival Praxis #43 – Breakthrough in Geopolymer Technology

This website has featured discussion on a cement material made of what is called “geopolymers.” It is basically a substance in which locally collected clays are mixed with appropriate activators to create an unusually strong building material. It can endure for many centuries. We believe it was a substance known to ancient engineers that was used in the construction of the pyramids, roads, statuary, and other monuments from the past. We believe that a geopolymer was used in the construction of Noah’s Ark.

For decades, the leading researcher of geopolymers has been Dr. Joseph Davidovits, a French scientist who has had to endure the acrimony and dismissiveness of institutional colleagues while pursuing an explanation as to how such ancient monuments could have been built and could have lasted for so long.

The Anglo-Nordic side of my ancestry shares an annoyance toward the French, while my Celtic side wants to admire them, but in this instance, Professor Davidovits rises to the level of a world-class researcher and transcends the petty prejudices of academics. He has produced a path in science which might save the human race from the impending solar disaster. That’s how important I think his work is.

Now in a major breakthrough, his colleagues have combined geopolymer technology with the use of construction-scale 3D printing to produce the first “geopolymer house.” YouTube video demonstration can be found here:

For those of you who want to learn how to work with clays and to form your own kiln using primitive construction methods, assuming that you will have to make your survival bunker after WWIII or the next Carrington-level solar storm, watch this:

Book I of the Survival Praxis series will be soon completed, somewhere around #50. Next year our personal research will be dedicated in the use of geopolymers to learn construction techniques for building the ultimate bunker. Book II of the Survival Praxis is scheduled to resume in the fall of 2024.

While Book I has been largely dedicated to a description of the catastrophic future which awaits us, Book II will be dedicated to the technology we need to survive it.

In the meantime, follow these links and join us in this path of discovery.
