System and method for adjusting air flow in air seeding applications

This system automatically adjusts the airflow in an air seeder to match the rate at which seeds are being dispensed. It uses a fan to create an air stream that carries agricultural materials, like seeds, across a field. A microprocessor calculates the correct fan speed based on the seed dispensing rate and also adjusts the seed dispensing rate itself based on the ground speed of the seeder, ensuring an appropriate application per acre.

Why it matters: Since 2002, microprocessors and sensors have become significantly cheaper and more powerful, enabling more precise and cost-effective real-time control systems. This allows for tighter integration with modern precision agriculture tools and data.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateMicroprocessor, fan control, metering device, software logic
