It would have been easy to click off this video at an early stage because the guy isn't entertaining. Well, if the point is to be entertained, maybe better to find something else to occupy oneself...

Although it isn't really entertaining, it is interesting because it imparts information in which you can have some confidence. He is careful and methodical in his approach.

He shows conclusively, I'd say, that aircrete is significantly weaker than the Portland cement that you start with in mixing up the aircrete. There are some significant points to keep in mind. One should be very, very careful about making aircrete walls. They must not be load-bearing. They will offer some insulation. They won't resist water very well. You'd have to cover it from the rain. If you use it correctly, it does have its uses.
