Devious Experiments with a Truly Passive Greenhouse - Part 1: Design (20 minutes)

This is part of the kickstarter offering to people that backed the kickstarter for $25 or more.  

The rest of the movie should be coming soon!

I think josiah did such a beautiful job, i am crazy excited to see part 2!

I agree, his beard is amazing. Oh, you mean the video. I agree with that too :)

(Edit, maybe that is kyle. I am known to be out of touch)

Good work, well done.

Great! I like the clay and stick part in explaining the build.

Yaay!!

I'm so happy to see this video.

It's so well made! i love the audio, the energy, the playfulness, and the suspense of the finished passive greenhouse experiment. I like the vegetative shots, and the drone footage is a nice touch!

I can't wait to see more!

Many thanks!

Having seen only clips and snippets prior, it was nice to see a detailed layout of the design. Thanks!

Fun watch, I very much enjoyed the soundtrack and details!

Fun story, I walked on over and then into the green house on the coldest day when I was there, a low of -11, high of 7F circa 2/21 if I recall correctly.

It was very nice in the greenhouse at about 12:30 PM, musta been in the mid 60's at least.  It was a clear sunny day, but it usually is when it's that cold.

On the critical side, I was struck by how small the space was relative to the dollar count.   I'm thinkin, maybe somebody should build a yuge one and make a super abbey out of it?  Living quarters in the back!

The next wondering thought at the time, if you did a 4V 5/12 Kruschke dome with the strut 10' length max, all in 4x12"s, could you safely pile enough dirt on top of it to make it was well insulated as this one?

Well that's all gonna depended on the joinery at least

awesome in any case!
