We the team of “Chiraharita” (Evergreen in sanskrit) thank element 14, Silicon labs and Würth Elektronik for choosing our proposal for the vertical farming design challenge.
Currently, the team has started off with the design of mechanical structure. We are preparing the CAD models and verifying for the best design. The team is also working on procurement of PVC components as well as manufacturing the structure.
We will be adopting a 3 stage plant growth mechanism:
- Seed treatment stage.
- Germination stage to grow seeds into saplings.
- And finally, the matured saplings will be transferred to the cylindrical farm.
Aeroponics is supposed to be the most efficient technique to deliver nutrients and water to plants. But we will be implementing hydroponics technique since it is less complex compared to aeroponics. However, we will be designing a structure which can operate with either of the techniques.
Congratulations to all the other challengers and All the best.
In the next post, we will explain about the germination stage and basic block diagram of working of our farm.
Stay tuned.
