your conclusion is right about the binding material however<br> <br>I see a great future for developing a machine which is compressing straw bales in to interlocking blocs<br> this is a simple machine it can be placed all over europe avoiding costly transport and helping all areas<br>
provided de machine can compress suficiently at a tempature between 190 and 220 degrees celsius than it is possible to create a bloc without any additives the cellulose in the straw under pressure and heat should work as a binder<br>
i hope i have given you all enough to think<br>kind regards josstoffels<br><br>
