I can't imagine that it is more efficient than manual labour, but it does cut down on the strain that is involved in brick laying. Looking at the process though it is completely reliant on humans to feed the bricks in, and also the mortar. It would just lay bricks merrily away even if there was no mortar to hold things together, although there probably is a fail safe that it would stop if the mortar was empty...
Damn my logical mind, why can't you just say... "hey that looks really cool..."

I am not sure if that is inventive, or just pure laziness... in the time that it took him to almost rip the hose out of the pump, he could have either turned around or at least pulled forward and back closer to the pump so he would not have to stretch it... but then again, that would be the logical route...

#2 its easy to say that the indoor air quality is 100% better than outdoor if you are not allowing for opening windows (fixed) in the building. if I was never to open the windows in my house I could also say that my indoor air quality is much higher than outdoors, no matter where I live in the world...

Somethings tells me that you really don't want to bring that suitcase as a carry on when you fly. I think that the TSA would take a little exception to something like that...

dear lord, I was getting pissed off for him. I deal with architects all day, and lets just say their grasp on realities when it comes to... I don't know, say gravity can be slightly off, they have the vision and its my job to make it happen, or just make it so damn expensive that they value engineer it out...

This looks like Chris Hadfields brother, near the centre of the earth, rather than being above the earth.
Interesting little science experiment none the less.
