    摘要: The power barn system provides a way to eliminate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from livestock. The power barn system seals and traps the methane gas that is emitted from the livestock and converts the methane into electric power and carbon dioxide to enhance plant growth. The power barn system uses PV solar arrays and plastic sheeting to make sealed, airtight structures. The carbon dioxide is provided to one or more sealed greenhouse areas. The plants use the carbon dioxide and release oxygen, thereby completely eliminating greenhouse gas emissions from livestock. The power plant uses the methane at peak times at night while solar panels supply power during the day producing zero emission and 24/7 electricity at better than market rates.

    摘要: A plant cultivation method includes providing a growth period and a rest period alternately. In the rest period, a dark period and a bright period is alternately provided. In the dark period, an intensity of light applied to a cultivation target plant is lower than a light intensity at a light compensation point. In the bright period, blue light whose wavelength is 400 nm to 500 nm is applied at an intensity that is lower than the light intensity at the light compensation point. A one-cycle time T of repetition of the dark period and the bright period is 2 μs to 500 μs. A duty ratio ΔT/T of a bright period time ΔT to the one-cycle time T is 20% or smaller. The blue light has a photosynthetic photon flux density of 0.001 μmol·m−2·s−1 to 4.0 μmol·m−2·s−1.

    摘要: A plant grow unit (10) includes a body (12) that bounds an interior area (14). Access to the interior area is controlled by a door (18). The interior area houses a plurality of grow lights (50) which are selectively operated in response to at least one control circuit (96) to provide suitable illumination and radiation for growing selected plants. Shelves (46, 48) are selectively positionable for supporting plants thereon. A plurality of sensors and devices in the interior area are operated responsive to the control circuit to maintain desired conditions for plant growth within the interior area and to indicate detected conditions.

    摘要: Disclosed is an air flow method and system for plant growth and air purification within a grow room to optimize plant production and promote constant growth and quality. The grow room includes a first air mover, a second air mover, and a third air mover. The first air mover is configured to pull air upwards into a first air mover inlet and out of a first air mover outlet oriented away from the first air mover and proximate to the ceiling. The second air mover is configured to pull air into a second air mover inlet and out of the second air mover outlet, moving air towards the floor. The third air mover is to pull air into the third air mover inlet out of the third air mover outlet, moving air away from the third air mover in a horizontal direction towards an opposing wall.

    摘要: A method and system for flue gas reclamation is described. In one embodiment, a flue gas reclamation system is provided. The system includes a combustion engine including an intake member, an output shaft, and an exhaust outlet. The intake member receives flue gas from a gas source. A generator is connected to the output shaft and a compressor is connected to the exhaust outlet of the combustion engine. At least one holding tank is connected to the compressor and the compressor stores enriched flue gas from the exhaust outlet of the combustion engine in the at least one holding tank. A battery is connected to the generator and is configured to provide electric power to the flue gas reclamation system. An algae farm in fluid communication with the at least one holding tank is configured to receive the stored enriched flue gas from the at least one holding tank.

    摘要: An active indoor planting dynamic carbon dioxide concentration adjustment system includes a planting assembly, multiple variable light intensity illuminating devices, a carbon dioxide detector and a controller. The planting assembly is disposed in an indoor space, and the illuminating device is configured to illuminate the planting assembly according to a control signal to cause photosynthesis of the planting assembly. The carbon dioxide detector is configured to detect a carbon dioxide concentration in the indoor space and to emit a concentration signal. The controller is signally connected to the illuminating devices and the carbon dioxide detector, and is configured to receive the concentration signal and give the control signal. The controller dynamically adjusts the light intensity of the illuminating devices according to the concentration signal, thereby dynamically adjusting the efficiency of the photosynthesis of the planting assembly.
