3 inventions that support farm work

Honey barrels for honey, machines that turn waste into fertilizer or biogas for cooking make farming more convenient.

Honeycomb for honey

The Flow Hive honeycomb is the invention of two Australians, Stuart Anderson and Cedar, derived from the family's three-year tradition.

This model is specially designed with the help of bile out. Regular beehives are closed hexagons close together but the Flow Hive barrel is designed in an open hexagon.

Normally, they are in a closed state so that bees are still active and accumulate honey into the nest. When it is full, with a lever rotation action designed above, these open hexagonal nests will allow honey to flow down by gravity and follow the plastic pipe underneath to lead out.

To create this invention, both father and son had to experiment for 10 years with many designs. This time, they were also surprised because the bees accepted the new nest and lived in it.

This product makes the job of beekeepers easier. In 2015, they applied for a patent and called for capital to be able to develop the production of this special nest on a larger scale.

Machine turns leftovers and garbage into fertilizer

Composting agricultural waste or organic waste into fertilizer is a familiar way for many farmers in Vietnam as well as in the world. However, depending on the type of waste, the incubation period is relatively long from several months to years.

Earlier this year, Wlabs - the creative group of Whirlpool Corporation, introduced the Zera Foof Recycler to transform organic kitchen waste into fertilizer in just 24 hours.

Inside the machine, organic waste is leftovers, fruit peels, and vegetable leaves will be crushed. Under the influence of oxygen, temperature and support additives, the decomposition rate from weekly will be reduced to 24 hours. The final product is transferred to the bottom compartment and can be removed easily, becoming organic fertilizer for plants.

The device has been posted on the Indiegogo community fund. Selling price includes packages including additives, air filters . about 1,199 USD. Users can monitor and control the device via phone application. The product was introduced and received an innovative award at the CES 2017 consumer electronics exhibition.

Waste turning machine into biogas for cooking

How to turn waste into biogas is a familiar model that has been applied in many countries. Animal manure, garbage are incubated in a sealed cellar and produce gas for cooking, daily activities.

Recently, a startup from Israel has developed a family-sized biogas cellar to convert the daily organic waste into enough gas for 2-4 hours of cooking with 5-8 liters of liquid as fertilizer. day.

The machine is called HomeBiogas . Accordingly, every kilogram of organic waste can be converted into an average of 200 liters of fuel and used in one hour of cooking. This invention could limit up to 6 tons of CO ₂ emissions each year.

The company is continuing to call on Indiegogo's website to be able to produce on a larger scale. The machine is installed in many Middle Eastern countries.
