Seacrete

Sea Water Electrolytic Mineral Accretion

Seacrete samples range in strength from 3720 psi to 5350 psi.  Typical
concrete used in
sidewalks and such is about 3500 psi.  With very slow deposition -up to a year
or more -
strengths of 8000 psi have been achieved. 

One kilowatt hour of electric power will result in the accretion of 4.2 pounds
of seacrete.

Most of the research on Seacrete was published by Wolf H. Hilbertz.  

A thorough description of how seacrete buildings are grown is published by
Marshall T.
Savage. The Millennial Project (1994) p. 73

One of the most readable articles on secrete was published in Mother Earth
News "Grow
Your Own Buildings" (March/April 1980)  p. 118
