HYDROPONIC FLYER 2020
One month ago, on April 7, 2020, we announced that we would be the first in the world to deliver hydroponic lettuces by drone, which would be purchased for bitcoin. On Thursday, April 30, 2020, a drone flew with two lettuces and two protective face masks landed in the same hands that had ordered the shipment a few minutes earlier by sending a bitcoin transaction on the Lightning Network. Whether you watched the event in the live stream or not, the recording of the event is attached for you below.
But what actually happened on Thursday? On the one hand, there was an experimental, non-commercial drone flight. On the other hand, it was also the first step on the way to starting the real expansion of drone technology as a delivery tool. We consider the approach we have been applying in the Parallel Garden project for a year and a half to be the way to this result. What is this approach about?
Open-source principle: In the autumn of 2018, we built a small hydroponic system for 21 salads for the cafeteria Bitcoin Coffee in Paralelní Polis, Prague. Subsequently, using an open-source approach to the GitHub platform, we published all documentation on the construction and operating economics of this system. The aim was to enable anyone to follow us, whether in close cooperation or even without our knowledge. Since then, two separate projects with a brand have been created in Slovakia, following up on our basic documentation and develop the principles of hydroponics. We have since inspired dozens of other people to do
our own work in this field. And one of the reactions to our activities was also the response of a professional drone racer, who arrived at one of the Enviro Meetups and was flying around in the premises of Paralelní Polis with a drone carrying a tempeh wrap. The idea of connecting two progressive technologies, drones and hydroponics, was born.
Lean methodology: The motto often used is "Think big". We share this idea as well (otherwise we would not be able to embark on an experimental action of this kind with many strangers). However, we do not share its misinterpreted form, which often leads to the greatest possible grandiose realization, without precedent honest testing. We always test and develop on a smaller scale first and then scale up. The drone flight performed was an experimental solution, however, at the same time it contained all the components that would be needed to perform it in regular operation. Above all, it covers a functional hydroponic system, drone, bitcoin transaction, higher user friendliness by automated order, etc. We have already learned to a large extent how many technical, logistical, security and legal conditions must be ensured in order to use the technology in this way.
Now what? We will gradually publish the entire solution and know-how we have gathered in recent weeks so that we can build on us. We hereby invite you all to build on the published know-how and join the path to the introduction of the first drone commercial line. We offer the capabilities of our team available for a wider open-source cooperation in order to reach the first regular line and a scale the technology faster, not only in the Czech Republic. As a first step to enable cooperation with individuals and companies, we will begin to release and publish the acquired know-how, including the legal solution applied by us for the first drone-delivery and the possibilities of how to build on it. Contact us or start on your own.
The future is here, we just have to do it.
Open-source call for either direct or indirect cooperation to initiate the first commercial lines for testing automated drone transport and urban hydroponics. The drone-delivery open-source sharing begins on Tuesday, May 12, 2020 -> here :https://github.com/ParallelGarden/Hydroponics-in-a-box.
