Abstract
A hydroponic growth system comprises a reservoir including a lower chamber, an upper chamber, and a divider therebetween. The divider has a first aperture and a second aperture. The system includes an air blower in fluid communication with the lower chamber. Actuation of the air blower causes fluid from the lower chamber to pass through the first aperture and selectively flood the upper chamber. The valve inhibits communication between the lower chamber and the upper chamber via the second aperture in a resting state. Upon actuation of the air blower, the valve moves to a flooding state in which communication between the lower chamber and the upper chamber via the second aperture is promoted.
Claims20
A hydroponic growth system comprising:
- a plant-growing chamber;
- a reservoir coupled to and positioned below the plant-growing chamber, whereby air power-blown into the reservoir causes nutrient solution therewithin to flash flood the plant-growing chamber;
- and
- a release valve between the plant growing chamber and the reservoir and which inhibits passage of fluid therethrough until said air is so power-blown, wherein the release valve includes a valve chamber, and wherein the valve chamber has one or more upper openings and an intermediate side opening between the lower and upper openings thereof.
A hydroponic growth system comprising:
- a plant-growing chamber;
- a reservoir coupled to and positioned below the plant-growing chamber, whereby air power-blown into the reservoir causes nutrient solution therewithin to flash flood the plant-growing chamber;
- and
- a release valve between the plant growing chamber and the reservoir and which inhibits passage of fluid therethrough until said air is so power-blown, wherein the release valve has a side opening which is submerged in a flooded state of the plant growing chamber.
A hydroponic growth system comprising:
- a plant-growing chamber;
- a reservoir coupled to and positioned below the plant-growing chamber, whereby air power-blown into the reservoir causes nutrient solution therewithin to flash flood the plant-growing chamber;
- and
- a release valve between the plant growing chamber and the reservoir and which inhibits passage of fluid therethrough until said air is so power-blown, wherein the release valve includes a valve chamber, the valve chamber having a lower opening and an upper valve seat spaced above the lower opening thereof, and wherein the release valve includes a valve element moveable within the valve chamber from said lower opening in a resting state thereof to said upper valve seat, with the valve element abutting the upper valve seat in a flooded state of the plant growing chamber.
A hydroponic growth system comprising:
- a plant-growing chamber;
- a reservoir coupled to and positioned below the plant-growing chamber;
- and
- a channel longitudinally-extending along the bottom of the plant-growing chamber between first and second ends of the plant-growing chamber, the channel being arcuate-shaped in longitudinal cross-section and upwardly concave, and the channel extending between the plant-growing chamber and the reservoir, and whereby air power-blown into the reservoir causes nutrient solution therewithin to flash flood the plant-growing chamber via the channel.
