Re: [Strawbale] 1. Fwd: Re: Lego blocks from Straw (RT) (jos stoffels)

[jos stoffels <ushipoesie@gmail...>]

your conclusion is right about the binding material however
 
I see a great future for developing a machine which is compressing straw bales in to interlocking blocs
  this is a simple machine it can be placed all over europe avoiding costly transport and helping all areas
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
i hope i have given you all enough to think
kind regards josstoffels

"however the form of a lego bloc might give a problem with lego"
: Needn't worry: The patent for the original block expired some 10-15
years ago AFAIK. Hence all the copy products.

safe!)
