One Community’s physical location will forward this movement as the first of many self-replicating teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities to be built around the world. Here is our weekly progress update (#65) covering our development and accomplishments for the week of May 19th, 2014:

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

Highest Good housing, cob construction, earthbag construction, straw bale construction, earthship construction, subterranean construction, sustainable homes, eco-homesWe are zero-waste regenerative community building through Highest Good housing that is artistic and beautiful, more affordable, more space efficient, lasts longer, DIY buildable, and constructed with healthy and sustainable materials:

This last week the core team began putting together the earthbag home heating and cooling page. Thus far we’re about 15% done and the page in progress looks like this:

DUPLICABLE CITY HUB PROGRESS

duplicable city center, solution based thinking, One Community, SEGO Center, city hub, recreation center, eco center, sustainable living, ecological living, green living, eco-recreation, group laundry center, for The Highest Good of AllWe are zero-waste regenerative community building through a Duplicable and Sustainable City Center that is LEED Platinum certified/Sustainable, can feed 200 people at a time, can provide laundry for over 300 people, beautiful, spacious, saves resources, saves money, and saves space:

This last week James Nance (Mechanical Engineer and Project Manager with P2S Engineering) working in conjunction with the core team working on the earthbag village, expanded the water heater research and evaluation we’d planned for the Duplicable City Center. Here are cut sheets for all the electric water heater options of the Duplicable City Center:

Da Ku (Mechanical Engineer) finished the natural pool transition-point door engineering calculations needed for the hinges. Here is his process:

Da Ku’s question: Since the plexiglass is heavier than an ordinary wood door, is a normal hinge for the door strong enough for our transition door ?

First, Da Ku tried to calculate the stress of the hinge of an ordinary wood door (his bedroom door). He measured the dimensions of the hinge and the door, and modeled it in ANSYS. The result was 1.7e8 Pa for maximum Von-Mises stress, around the contact position with the hinge axis.

Then, he input the model of the transition door (2 inch thick), which is more than twice the weight of the bedroom door (taken into account the buoyancy force). In this case the stress is of course much bigger, near the yielding strength of steel. So Da Ku added 2 more hinges in addition to the original 2 hinges. As a result it gives 1.2e8 Pa for maximum Von-Mises stress, less than the bedroom door hinge.

His conclusion is that we just need to use 2 more hinges and we will be fine.

Da Ku also did some online research into hinges and rust and saw that stainless steel might be good for our case, since some stainless steel can stay rust-free even in water. His next step here will be to ask someone who sells stainless hinges next time he goes to home Depot or Lowe’s.

Also, Karl Harris finished correcting the windows for the North-view elevation drawings:

We are zero-waste regenerative community building through a Highest Good society approach to living that is founded on fulfilled living, the study of meeting human needsCommunity, and making a difference in the world:

This last week the core team completely updated the details of all our consensus pages including the consensus as a core value pageconsensus for groups of 200+ pagedetails on consensus training, and where we are now in our consensus process page. Here’s a collage of these pages that you can click to be taken to the main page we’d recommend for anyone starting on their journey to understanding the consensus process:
