Volcanic Material and method for producing the same

Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for manufacturing building materials made of volcanic material. In particular, the present disclosure is directed to the gathering of molten volcanic material, cooling the volcanic material, and shaping the volcanic material into shapes that may be used in construction. As used herein, the term “lava” refers to any molten rock generated by geothermal energy and expelled through fractures in planetary crust. “Lava” shall also refer to “lava flow” and “molten volcanic material” as used herein. Lava flow is a moving outpouring of lava created during a non-explosive effusive eruption. While this application generally refers to “lava”, a person having ordinary skill in the art would understand that similar systems and methods may be applied with respect to volcanic material or molten rock that is collected from within the Earth's core and that has not erupted to the surface in a naturally occurring manner.
