Primitive Technology: Brick and Charcoal Production
Adults ConstructionIn this video I use the thatched hut to fire bricks and make charcoal in for the first time.
Primitive Technology: Wood Ash Insulated Furnace
Adults ConstructionI made a furnace insulated with wood ash to smelt iron in. Furnace insulation stops heat being lost from the walls of a furnace and so increases the heat within the furnace.

How NASA Reinvented The Wheel
Adults ConstructionA huge thanks to everyone at NASA Glenn Research Center for having us at the SLOPE Lab, showing their work on this indestructible tire, and helping with the science and animation.
Primitive Technology: Iron Bacteria Cement
Adults ConstructionI 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
Adults ConstructionI 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.
