Vertical grow tower conveyance system for controlled environment agriculture

This invention describes an indoor farming system where plants grow in vertical towers that move along a track. The towers are designed with plant containers on multiple faces and are watered by an integrated irrigation system. A key feature is a mechanism, specifically a reciprocating cam, that pushes the towers along the track while gradually increasing the space between them, allowing plants more room as they mature.

Why it matters: No specific technological advancements since 2021 have fundamentally altered the feasibility or cost of the described mechanical conveyance and cam system. The primary hurdle remains the economic viability and reliability of implementing such a specialized physical infrastructure.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateCustom cam mechanism, conveyance, irrigation, environmental controls.
