THE CHAMELEON GREENHOUSE GROWING SYSTEM

Overview

Modular in design the Chameleon Greenhouse Growing System can be moved. Among the many features the system encompasses it is completely self-contained, produces pure water as a by-product and has the potential of co-generating electricity.

A short general outline of the Chameleon Greenhouse Growing System

General Description: The concept was originally designed for the desert countries to make the most efficient use out of a precious resource, but its features are equally welcome anywhere else in the world.

Much agricultural development can take place in climate-controlled greenhouses, a very new and low cost development that insulates against heat or cold and provides a perfect growing environment.

These modular units operate with extremely low water in-put on a closed-cycle basis, using transpiration from the plants to condense and then collect the condensation to be used for fresh-water needs for the community.

The conversion from contaminated water to a fresh pure product will be accomplished by solar energy as a by-product from the agricultural or horticultural system. It will be equivalent in every way to water produced by desalinization except that the energy cost will be zero.

The potential exists as well for co-generation of electric power from the energy available in a closed-loop cycle. This conversion to electric power could be sufficiently developed for all the needs of the communities that will be springing up to service the growing region. It is absolutely realistic to anticipate totally self-contained units that are capable of providing an assured supply of fresh drinking water, electric power and food. Food Harvests could become substantially greater than actual need of the country and provide export capabilities.

With the exception of electric co-generation in a closed-loop energy cycle, everything outlined in the foregoing description is proven reliable technology. Feasibility Study confirmed design factors through simulated computer models and mock-ups of small scale models; full scale prototype testing is our next aim.
