I would like to see a project which addresses food shortages/availability --- why can't I have a pair of windows replaced w/ a pair of an aquarium and terrarium?
Grow shrimp in the aquarium, lettuce, cherry tomatoes and so forth in the terrarium
Each is monitored by a small computer w/ sensors which adjusts for nutrients, water, light, &c. --- at need, a vendor comes along, unlocks the outside access (which can only be unlocked if the matching inside lock is secure) and tops off/adjusts things.
If I'm having a dinner, have an option to drop off tilapia or a lobster in the aquarium.
I lack the green thumb, knowledge of electronics, and biological credentials --- it could be a nice gig for some person who is talented at growing things and has the computer programming/electronic sensor skills
- adammarples 4y agoAquariums really can't be automated like that. They need constant manual care and you need to empty the water out every few weeks and scrape the algae off the sides.
- WillAdams 4y agoCould it be that that just makes it a better business opportunity --- how many such tanks could one person clean in a day? What sort of franchise radius/density would make this workable?
- conductr 4y ago> have an option to drop off tilapia or a lobster in the aquarium I complain about having to mince my own garlic when I get a Blue Apron meal and you're willing to filet live fish? I don't see this working any where in the US, maybe somewhere else
