Research & Development

Exploring insect-based proteins, duckweed, black soldier fly larvae, and algae as alternatives to conventional fishmeal.

Techniques for using rope or twine as a growing medium for plant roots in aquaponic and hydroponic systems.

Evaporative cooling, misting, shade cloth, and passive ventilation strategies for hot-climate aquaponic greenhouses.

Integrating photovoltaic systems with aquaponic operations for off-grid power, pump energy, and lighting.

Organic, botanical homes with curved walls, integrated aquaponics, living plant walls, and closed-loop systems for food, water, power and waste.

High-quality aquarium with integrated plant grow bed that naturally filters water — eliminating frequent water changes and creating a balanced ecosystem.

Telescopic grow bed that adjusts to fit various fish tank sizes — transform any aquarium into an aquaponic system in minutes without custom fabrication.

Modular vertical growing towers with universal clip mounting — configure horizontally, vertically, or as connected walls for maximum flexibility.

Complete modular aquaponic system designed to feed a family of four all their leafy greens and occasionally fresh trout.

Counter-rotating vertical axis wind turbines — two elements spinning in opposite directions, dramatically increasing output efficiency.

Counter-rotating water turbines — two elements spinning in opposite directions, maximising energy extraction from flowing water.

Food-safe pipe selection, fittings, flow rates, and plumbing design for recirculating aquaponic systems.

Open-source ESP32-based black box for continuous pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and EC monitoring. Target cost sub-£75 DIY.

Carbon nanofibre inline filter concept for capturing microplastics and surfactants at point of discharge.

Bio-based resins for casting with hemp, flax, and natural fibres — an ecological alternative to GRP using plant-derived or bio-synthesised binders.

Inflatable form bags filled with closed-cell expanding foam — permanent, fully sovereign homes with food, water, energy and waste systems, deployable in 72 hours.

Flat-pack aquaponic system for humanitarian crises — producing fresh greens within two weeks of deployment on any ground, including contaminated land.
