Save up to 50% energy by doing what the sun does - rotate the light source relative to the plants!

The second area in which we increase our energy efficiency is
through rotation of the planters. In this case, we mimic a
natural process to get more use out of the energy provided. It
is quite easy to explain: normally, the sun travels from east to
west above the plant once during the day. As a result, the
plant is uniformly illuminated throughout the day. In this case,
it has a shadowed side in the morning, which in turn gets light
in the evening - and that restores a kind of balance in which
the whole plant gets even lighting throughout the day. If we do
not have a light source that moves, however, one side of the
plant will always be in shade. This reduces the lighting's
efficacy significantly. To eliminate this deficiency of
conventional indoor farms, we rotate the plant - here again,
we may save up to 50% energy.*
1. Fogponics
ultrasonic, efficient and water saving - fogponics allows new farms to operate on levels never seen before
2. Less Maintenance and Parts
Through replacing pressutized systems with fog, we don't need faulty parts anymore - while also cooling the plants simultaneously

4.Less Costs
By employing fog as an irrigation method we can avoid many problems of usual farming system - Mainly we don't need to carry a lot of heavy loads any more and can benefit from the possibility to employ lighter structures and concepts
5. More surface area
Through switching from flat shapes to round ones, we can optimize the planting density and the surface area of the farm
6. Better Heat and humidity management
Allowing heat and humidity to rise and exit the farm freely - using physics to ou advantage.
9. More light
By trapping the light source effiiciently in the middle of the planters, we avoid waste of light.
