Opencell concrete is similar to aircrete, but instead of collapsing when it reaches the point where the bubbles all pop and collapse, it retains its shape allowing the microscopic pores to form an interconnected structure, the bubbles pop, but the shape remains.
How? Check out nighthawkinlights video on YouTube. Its a thixotropic surfactant gel made from xantham gum(suspended in an alchohol solution., Dawn ultra and water  makes a gel. 1 part gel 2 parts cement. As you agitate air is untrained. When it reaches critical mass(when tradition aircrete collapses and fails, the thixotropic gel stops the mix from collapsing and a pourous breathable open cell concrete where all the voids are inter connected results. So why should you care?

If painted black, or activated charcoal is added you have a breathable material that captures almost all of.the energy from the sun. Put an air.inlet and outlet and you have the stack effect, even more so make a phi spiraling track and fill with opencell and you maximize area of exchange and cause air to become turbulent and a vortex is created at the outlet. Capture the air that is exiting by running a copper coil through a ferrocement tank and you've captured and stored that heat.
But you also have a negative pressure at the inlet. Dig a trench and fill the tunnel with the same open cell concrete, keep it wet, and have a dessicant pulling moisture out before it enters the tunnel. The result is massive increase in wet 55 degree surface area( every single pore instead of just the walls of the tunnel) and you have hot dry air interacting with a massive surface area. No matter how hot the air, if you get it dry enough you can passively cool to ~ 35-40°F. How? The latent heat of vaporization( look it up if you are unfamiliar. Another ferrocement tank( both tanks insulated of course) to capture the cold before it goes into the solar panel. You are able to passively harvest all the heat you need for all your heating needs, and all the cold you need. Implement Stirling motors with a fly wheel and a belt to power all your mechanical apparatus and teg for electrical and use heat for heat, cold for cold, mechanical for mechanical needs and electricity only for.what truly needs electricity, and you can passively provide all your own energy needs out of a cheap material and a build you can do in no time.

Ive.validated the theoretical physics, it will work. I just dont have a spot to build yet, but this is relatively new tech( I can't find anyone else that has come up with it)
I've outlined the process as well as many other useful appropriate technologies, and made sure to stamp it all open-source to prevent, well you know.

Furthermore my goal/ dream is to create a opensource software that is the home to a plethora of open-source hardware and tech, where new versions are added by all, anyone can post an idea or improve an idea, for example then aerocement, the thermal cascading energy harvester, you can take recycled cardboard, treat it with acetone and silicone base the cultist around the two 4 ft squares you get from a standard trash cardboard, and make any frequency geodesic 1v is an emergency pop up shelter, 12v is a mansion, 50v is a stadium, you make the triangles have flanges and it makes architectural struts that can be filled with the same opencell( or closed for that matter) seal the outside with wireless and sand cement mixture(same as ferrocement, I've got double catenary curve, stressed skin ferrocemt shell filled with cellular concrete( like shambala village man on youtube) pure compression(optimum shape for concrete strength, as well as the possibility of research and development for the mix itself. Use a stator motor instead of traditional mixers, and the bubbles become smaller and smaller more uniform bubbles and the possibilities when combined with 3d printing are endless( this is similar to nano aero gels currently being perfected by nasa). Its conventionally believed that denser equals stronger concrete, but with the thixotropic gel, stator motor for a mixer, and alkali resistant glass fiber( minimum 20% zirchonium) and you could potentially make a lighter stronger mix( in theory) enabling a light pump and truck to pump concrete over a mile( even vertically) . We could eliminate 90+percent of the actual human labor( bottleneck) of poring and finishing concrete, and the grand finally a preheated thermal earth battery can be used along side a inverted (like a huge traffic cone) spiraling track filled with opencell kept wet, and a sterling motor( run on deltaT) and a flywheel with a belt connected to the drive train, and you've got a passive delta T vehicle that harnesses and runs on aerodynamic drag.

But I can't do this all on my own. I need any body and everybody's help, and together we can leave our children a better world than our ancestors left us.
Please check out github.com/jesseray718 or contact jrm8908@proton.me if you have any questions, concerns, or advice. This can qualify for so many grants and stuff too. O yeah I almost forgot, replace the solar panel with a rocket mass heater and burn coppiced black locust(100x easier to harvest than traditional firewood) and you have a carbon negative fuel source. I want to do a workshop soon so if anybody is close to southeast Missouri and would like a system, free or at the very most at cost of materials, please hit me up, what i need is a community. This is just the tip of.the iceberg. I love you guys man. Ive published all this info and made it open-source and have it in multiple immutable uncensorable places, and I've minted a coin i term ACRE that is based on work done, which is measured in joules, the same as energy captured, so that's got potential too( e=mc2 lauder limit, reverse computation,) so as the system goes online, its like your printing your own token. This token can then be used to develop systems that are decentralized, yet open-source, while simultaneously encouraging cooperation amongst a purposefully engineered divided public. Anyway... hit me up or check out the github. Its a work in progress too, I knew nothing about computers or tech before I started this....
