3D design for PeachPOD – we have it in rough shape

By combining the design for EggPOD, we have the 3D drawing for PeachPOD. First look at two screenshots… Some touchups need to be done, for example, beside showing fish water in the fish pool, a vertical hose should be installed, sucking and sweeping fish poop up, as the carousels spin slowly, giving all plants uniform…

Based on the following video, depicting the Orange Theory for the universe’s possible structure, we have two designs: (1) egg shaped POD we call EggPOD, and (2) flat peach shaped POD we call PantoPODPeachPOD. Today I would like to talk about the latter design, the PantoPODPeachPOD. This is the image we need to pay attention…

Followup on my DIY backyard PyraPOD4T project: site preparation design with simplest solar thermal and geo thermal synergy

Yestoday, our design team met the local metal fabricator Tim Allen in Kelowna and discussed a few minor things about the metal structure. After that we looked at the site preparation and came up with a 3S solution: the Smartest, the Simplest, and the Smallest greenhouse design with a 10×10 footing plus underground pool built…

Solid proof that greenhouses with and without soap liquid foam filling in the double-layer cavity is CRITICAL and makes a huge difference

Today I would like to compare two greenhouses with similar structures – in both cases a double-layer cavity is formed. In fact I made a long video doing a case and comparison study of the two here but somehow did not get expected feedback from viewers. Maybe because the video was too long or maybe…

Just got the BubbleBox frame from a metal fabricator in Kelowna, showing what I will do with it

For now I will use it to build a mockup for the bubble generator and fine-tune it for optimized performance. In the future, this will be a LEARNING KIT for PyraPOD franchisees or salespersons to learn how everything works and also a DEMO KIT to show others how everything works. Make sure you either subscribe…

BubbleBox simplified further: now it is even easier to build and test the SolaRoof bubble generator

Today three of us, Richard, Yang and I, had a short session simplifying the Bubble Box design even further so that anyone can build the structure using flat bars and a few accessories to its structure. Once we get the structure, then we can play with the construction of bubble generator easily. The covering material…
