Possible Alternate Energy Sources

Possible Alternate Energy Sources

One of the areas of interest is a ram pump. Used for hundreds of years to move water from streams to animal troughs using gravity as the power source. Can a percentage of water falling from a raised water tank down into the ram pump be returned back up to the tank only to fall again? If so, this will help aerate and extend the fall/cycle time back into the fish tank. Another option may be a modified bicycle. With a simple rope and block being...

Prototype of 1/10 UVI System Built

Prototype of 1/10 UVI System Built

AG has built a prototype of a 1/10th scale UVI system for research and development. On this smaller scale we will test different methods of water circulation, aeration and alternative foods for the fish. The goal is to have a model that can be sustainable in remote villages, refugee camps, or even just someone’s backyard who is interested is sustainable off-the-grid food production. The diverse weather here in KY will allow us to try different...
