Do you simply stack them on top of eachother? Can they be attached by a bolt? Can anyone figure out how one would attach LitraCon's pre-cast blocks/bricks/panels?

Is there a way I could get my hands on something like this? This type of concrete would be excellent for beach houses. Is there a way I could get my hands on something like this?

Although Litracom holds several patents, the claims that Áron Losonczi is the first 'inventor' of the idea is ludicrous - but he did get the patents, so good for him. However, if its such a great performing material, why have we not seen it introduced on a grand scale? Have there been ASTM tests? How do architects spec the product? The specs off the website are not enough for serious construction and the prices are ridiculously high. So if an 'inventor' wants to keep wining about how he is the inventor, he should make sure his price point is right and his specifications are thorough enough for mainstream use - or someone else will come along, patents or not, and undercut him.
