Greenhouse ventilation system is very important
But this also adds 2 layers of plastic shading to the top of the greenhouse reducing natural light coming in further thats the only problem i see with it
I really love this. I live in Udon Thani in Thailand and was going to build a hoop house but now I'm going to give this a go. Thank you for your video.
“Cool” idea
So it doesn’t actually work that well in humid climates?
Would temperate crops survive in this greenhouse in a tropical climate?
How many degrees can this system cool?
If situated in a very hot, humid climate, would strawberries work with this type of system?
If the outside RH is equal to the amount provided by the misters, will the system still work (as evaporative cooling is dependent on the differential between inside and outside RH)? Wouldn't a simple fan system with a GH tube be much cheaper, simpler, and more effective? I've seen similar designs in the tropics, however the problem here is keeping air moving and humidity down. This means a simple rain cover and a fan system. I don't believe that adding more humidity in tropical zones will be helpful, especially considering the many fungal issues present.
Respect pure from my heart
Are you interested in testing our led grow light?

This is perfect for the central valley CA what’s the outside vs instead wn 100 outside maybe adding geothermal underground air exchange and a side fan seems like a lot but depending on crop value….
Would it work without the misting system?
please can i have your contact for a project ? my email is atigou2001@yahoo.fr
Any more research done for this? any large installation using this technic?
Sir can you send me the drawing
Cool concept, wonder if I can have more info about the design. I'm planning to build greenhouse in my backyard. Thanks

We can construct greenhouses Shadenet houses
No fans needed?! You should do KW power ,financial, and sustainability test; to verify that misting is or not as useful as a simple circulatory/vent fan.
I would, as NOT all ideas are actually viable, productive or even close to sustainable.
Yet no one figured the use of a shade clothe might actually work, as good or better? Simplest solution first.
What is that colorful smoke for??? What is the use of that?
I love the concept, using a misting system is a smart way to go. I'm concerned that a high humidity climate wouldn't cool much though with a misting system….. I plan to explore this concept more on my channel. Thank you for the video and I hope you got your PHD
"in 2020, this list helped me decide for the best greenhouse scafe.shop/tbg2020?s6 hope it helps you out too!"
What about if the outside is 45 + degrees Celsius
How much difference it can make ?
Fascinating stuff. I have a small farm and built a small greenhouse from repurposed stuff. Building a aquaponics system. My first greenhouse was single pane plexiglass and is way to hot to do anything but dry seeds.
Just introducing more moisture, causes other problems like fungi, mold & slowed plant transpiration.
Hi Lucas, are you still working in this field?
Wonder if creating a vortex like on newer airplanes would speed the airflow over the ridge near the misters
Hello, I am interested in your tropical greenhouse system, could you help in building one please? Ola
very interesting!
Can I get more info on this design please?
