Domes in raw form

Geodesic Dome: The internal framework of BioHome is ideal for its strength and economy for space and budget. Framework for the 12' dome only costs a few hundred dollars. Domes sizing range from 12' to 100'. The 24' dome can be split into two floors, giving over 900 square feet in one dome. By using triangular sections, the dome is able to withstand large amounts of pressure on the top axis point.

These come as a kit ready to assemble, and are built easily in hours. Rather than hiring a contractor and spending tens of thousands on framing timber for a house of equivalent size. The steel framework is strong, yet lightweight. The shape of the domes are resistant to earthquakes and the worst of weather conditions, including hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, gale force winds, and whatever mother nature can throw at it. When you build the dome, you build the roof and walls all at the same time.

Click here to learn more about Bubble Windows

Bubble Windows: One of the keys to saving on electricity is using the sun for lighting. The bubble windows spread and soften direct sunlight (and moonlight) from every angle. They illuminate the interior smoothly with no direct light source, no bulbs to replace, and no electricity. In the summertime, when the bubble windows are filled with water, the "solid" quality of the bubbles allows plenty of light with minimal heat. They are far more efficient at insulating than typical pane windows. The seam is a 2" flange sealed in the structure wall, rather than a rubber or silicon seam that will decay over time. The windows allow a full sunlight spectrum into the green room for growing food bearing plants, scrubbing, and recycling the air. The bubbles are 12" to 36" in diameter and are available for sale immediately.

Tell me more about what the foam does for structure

Polyurethane Foam: The foam is an excellent material for sealing, insulation, and locking in the geodesic structure. Conventional building code requires R19 for the walls, and R28-30 for the roof. Project BioHome has an R value of 90! The system can be sealed up at this point, and further work can still be done inside. Holes are easily repaired with aerosol foam sold in any hardware store. The elastomeric coating is sprayed on and seals the foam for a nice finish (multiple colors are available). North Carolina Foaming Industries produces our high density, NCFI 3lb BioHome foam.

Bathing Environment: We installed a sunken tub (1.5 foot deep by 9 feet diameter) in the 12' dome. The next step is to install a rock waterfall on the side. The possibilities for design in this room are endless. The curved shape and surface of the dome paired with the soft light from the water window provide a relaxing and tranquil space to come home and enjoy.

Purchase Airwell Kits on this site

Airwell Solar Distiller: Airwell Inc. is a spin-off technology of BioHome, and has been successful on the market for years. The solar distillation process provides water that is more pure than bottled or tap water. The system will have a fixed minimum of water in storage, and an Industrial Airwell placed outside to add any lost water and purify existing gray water. Water coming from the Airwell can be used for drinking, appliances, sinks, and the garden setup in the Green Room. It requires no moving parts, no batteries, and no filters. This is even more pure than the water Mother Nature can provide.

Solar and Wind Power: Today's modern technology requires a certain dependable standard of electricity. At Project BioHome, we suggest a combination of solar and wind power for your needs. For a setup cost of about $1200, you can have a self-renewing source of enough free electricity using wind power and a small battery bank for all your appliances, with complete detachment from the grids.

For wind power, we recommend South West Wind Power in Flagstaff, AZ to anyone seeking alternative sources of renewable energy. You will find them courteous and helpful.

Biological Cycle: The human body requires a specific amount of plant life to produce enough oxygen to live: either 250 cu. ft of vegetation, or 1 qt. of algae. 2000-4000 calories makes up the average diet, and consists of a balance of protein, carbohydrate, and fats. The system will be built with a Green Room, providing all sorts of fruit and vegetables you desire. A closed system allows specific climate control. Easy maintenance plants can co-exist in harmony, and make the garden a pleasant place.

The bathroom of BioHome converts liquid waste into a nitrogen solution that is fed back into your garden. Pick out your favorite vegetables and plant them in the greenroom, and never have to go shopping for produce again! Set up a fish tank with the algae requirement and keep fish around for the best proteins. At this point, YOU use your imagination to build your environment and health. The garden requires little maintenance, and takes great care of YOU and your family. In return it takes care of itself. Cutting back on the grocery bill also reduces from the garbage problem. Any waste coming out of the home is used elsewhere. All Vegetable and Human waste matter can be composted for fertilizer or converted to methane for other home uses.

Biology is a regenerative process that balances itself. The life cycles of all things in the system work with each other to continue the cycle of LIFE. Its about harmony and coexisting, which the Earth's systems have done for millions of years.
