AeroPotato FAQ
The public explanation focuses on function, evidence and production logic while proprietary distribution hardware remains undisclosed.
What is AeroPotato?
An automated root-crop growing system that controls environment, nutrition, monitoring and robotic operations through the crop cycle.
Is it just conventional aeroponics?
No. Aeroponic principles are part of the system, but the product is built around two managed environments, plant-physiology feedback, multi-level nutrition and robotics.
Are the roots simply hanging in open air?
No. The root system operates inside a separately formed environment with controlled humidity, temperature and gas composition.
Why two environments?
Shoots and roots need different conditions at different crop stages. The zones are physically separated and controlled independently.
How many robotic manipulators are used?
Seven: four in the lower zone and three in the upper zone.
Is tuber support manual?
No. A manipulator can place a growing tuber into an elastic support and adjust that support as development continues.
Does the system make every potato the same size?
No. Size is one measurable criterion. Product specifications also depend on mass, plant condition, variety and end use.
What happens during a power failure?
The architecture includes backup and staged emergency modes, including plant-life-support operation with an emergency window of up to 48 hours.
How is nutrition organised?
Three working nutrient circuits plus one reserve circuit, with central preparation and local module-level adjustment.
Which technology details are not public?
Critical moisture/nutrient distribution hardware and related constructive know-how are intentionally not disclosed.
