Phase ona:
My original and ultimate concept is for crop circles that are a square acre each in size. This is really meant to be a self sustaining vocational training program for industrial evolution, with a biproduct that feeds and houses. I So, for my first phase I am going to work on how to create a working scaled down model. I'm going through the options I have been considering as well as the cost due to extremely low budget. In place of a circular canal system being trenched on the acres I am considering using circle shaped swimming pools. I figure if I can get two sizes one that fits inside another I can simulate the canals with the pool division. Utilizing a pump controlled by the system I should be able to get water pumped from the fish canals through the grow mediums of the crop plants. I plan on using sensors in the grow mediums to determine the plant watering. Plan onSon using thermostat sensor and a water heater of the controller to regulate fish water temperature. I'm kind of at a loss in my scaled down greenhouse dome, not sure how to go about it yet. I'm planning on using temperature sensors to manage the cooling of the greenhouse. Probably servos for vents and fan motors of the system. I'm looking at a pvs pipe system for growing in but not sure about making it round size for this configure. I also wanted to have ve grow beds in the full scale version, but may have to exclude due to size constraints. If I use a larger, but costlier above ground pool I can probably use a smaller kids pool for grow bed. But if I use a kids pool for the main I would have to use a chopped 55gal barrel, which really makes for a small greenhouse dome. So I'm really problem solving scaling issues along with cost constraints at this point.
