Introduction

[Imhotep]

Hi guys : ]

I'm Imhotep, music producer, designer from the Netherlands. Currently working as Dj.

I've come across Aquaponics a few weeks ago and I really loved the idea. I made a simple design in Maya and I was hoping you guys could provide some feedback. Feel free to use this design yourself (if you think it could work that is haha).

This design provides the system to use less electricity, because the aquarium is lifted by a hand crank (w series of pullies/weights).

When the aquarium reaches the top, a small hatch opens. The water in the aquarium slowly (partially) flows out over the vegetables. The leftover water is storaged in the storage tank, where it's filtered by carbon filters etc. Another hatch is opened and with help of gravity the clean water flows back in the aquarium.

I will still be needing some power for heating/lighting. So some solar panels on top would be cool.

Any feedback greatly appreciated : ]
