WaterPod Soil-less Growing System
Abstract
The Waterpod project based in New York city, consisting of a group of artist, decided to attempt to design, build, and have five people live on a self-sufficient, as possible, barge for a period of six months. Our Team, along with other teams from our Engineering 215 class at Cal Poly Humboldt, were given a list of problems that needed to be addressed. Some of these problems were food, clean water, electricity, and waste management. Each team was given a task, which they were to research, design, and build a system that completes the task given. Once completed, the projects were shipped to New York, where they were implemented on the Waterpod's barge~(Plan as of 5/5/09). The Waterpod team's barge is planned to set sail on June 1st, 2009 and to cruise the New York Waterways along the Hudson River docking at different places along the way. While docked, the public will be able to come aboard and see the different systems being used by the crew to survive. To learn more about the waterPod view: https://www.appropedia.org/Waterpod
