BANKSTER BUCKETS - 50kW Experimetal Low pressure Aeroponic Grow w/ water cooling, RO

#640752 - 10/17/12 03:07 AM (12 years, 2 months ago)

Bare with me. I've been busy and I apologize. I am posting pictures of the 'first run' today.

I had some issues - improper drainage in the buckets, nute issues, minor mold, and PH issues which reduced my yield. In addition, it took way too long to set up. However - it's mostly done - I've got rocks in the buckets and proper PH meters with proper probes, so this run will be better. Pics "soon".

If you didn't see the original thread:

BANKSTER BUCKETS
I'm using a modular top-fed bucket system fed by dual pressurized feedlines from remote reservoirs. The buckets are elevated and drain through corrugated tubing into ABS piping, which returns the water to the reservoirs. There are two pumps per reservoir. Each pump pressurizes one main feedline. There is one 1/4" minor feedline for each bucket from each main feedline. Each minor feedline feeds two sprayers. One system could run one bucket or 100 buckets (depending on pump/line size), and you can arrange them however you want. I am currently running a maximum of 30 buckets using two 2200gph submersible sump pumps (60x 0.06mm sprayers per pump).

I'll hopefully explain a bit more later, with pictures.

MOTIVATION:

Fractional Reserve Banking
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_reserve_banking
^^ Main factor in the cause of the current 'recession', inflated home prices, ludicrous bank profits, and inflation in general. The government no longer creates inflation by creating cash/money - the banks create it instead, through debt.

Example in a hypothetical micro economy:
John deposits $100 in the Bank.
The Bank keeps 5% on reserve, and loans $95 to Sally.
(John now has $100, Sally has $95, and the economy has $195. Bank has $5 cash.)

As a result, the value of the currency has depreciated, inflation will result, and if John decides to withdraw more than $5 from his bank account, his bank will need a temporary "bailout" from the Taxpayers.

Fortunately for the economy, there's a $1 daily withdrawal limit at the bank - so John decides to write a check or use a card instead - prolonging the collapse another day.

The urgent problem? Our politicians dream our banks had a 5% reserve ratio. It's actually less than 1%
(This theoretical scenario ignores debts unpaid and interest/bank profits on those debts, for simplicity of explaining the concept of Fractional Reserve Banking)

This is why we have the Boom and Bust cycle. This is far from the first time in history that this practice has decimated an empire.
This MUST be dealt with, and in addition, the US Gov must stop borrowing from the Federal Reserve. There must not be interest paid to private entities for money that is printed by the Federal Government.

The Government, not the Banks, must be in control of inflation. The creation of 'money' must be the task of the Federal Government, not the Banksters.
