Next-Gen Aeroponics – Baltic Freya | Indoor Farming Tech Intro 2022
Aeroponics can produce 10-60% higher yields than hydroponics with 50-300% less water and fertilizer. However, aeroponic irrigation has not been mass-adopted due to inherent difficulties of pressure-based systems.
We introduce a new, patent-pending aeroponic technology:
– ultrasonic titanium nozzles
– efficient vibration generates aerosol
– adjustable droplet diameters between 10µm-50µm
– smart devices, no technical skills required
– no pressure pumps required
Models available for DIY projects, Commercial integrations and Research installations. Please visit www.balticfreya.com for more information.
Welll seam bright idea !
I went to your website…tell me when ready to sell your products…thanx
How much electrical power do the nozzle consume?
The biggest problem is price so high
Some of the information in aeroponic science section (stages of aeroponic irrigation) on your website is contradictory. If stage 2 has a thin film of water forming, it will destroy the root hairs mentioned in stage 1. The root hairs in stage 1 cannot exist if they are being constantly destroyed in stage 2.
Rroot hairs wont grow in the presence of too much liquid. The roots shown in the video have lateral root branching but appear to have very little root hair growth. If you can reduce the amount of mist delivered per misting while maintaining full coverage you will see an improvement. In my experience, root hairs grow at an average rate of approx 1 micron per minute, about 1.5mm per day. A loupe or magnifying glass make them easier to see in the early stages. If you have none, you are running the system too wet. The most important parameter of an aeroponic system is not how much mist it can deliver but how little. If the minimum setting is too wet, you cant turn it down. If its too dry, you can turn it up. Most aeroponic systems fall into the too wet catagory. If you pass this info onto your R&D guys who use the system to grow plants, it will give them a new avenue to explore. I guarantee they will learn a lot about aeroponics they didnt know before. Your system price point is a little high, but its not excessive for folks that want to experiment. I dont believe it offers the same level of control as my existing systems but its nice to see something new in the aeroponic world.
your clogging demonstration does not show the effects of clogging overtime of use. Salt deposits, calcium and other minerals will block that low micron emitters. In reality there really is no need to have something that low in microns to put nutrients on roots. this adds another point of failure and increases maintenance. This is my opinion after doing aero for over 20 years.
"no pressure pumps required"
"adjustable droplet diameters between 10µm-50µm"
Yeah, no, you ain’t getting that mist without a pressure pump, and the video doesn’t look like it is either.
what size droplets?
