Started: 2016 Status: Under Development
The Autonomous Biological System is a Bioregenerative Closed Life Support System that was used for space flight experiments and looked interesting to use as an experimental educational and scientific tool. In 2016 I build my first group and started improving their construction, components and sustainability.
Started: 2025 Status: Under Development
A Stand-Alone modular Arduino based Data Acquisition System with web interface for environmental and agricultural purposes. The system consists of various stand-alone modules placed on various locations gathering and logging in-situ data that can be viewed on a local and centralized web interface.
Started: 2025 Status: Under Development
Growing vegetables on waste water purifies the water by removing nutrients from the water. This results in food, cleaner water the reduction of Carbon Dioxide in the water and air and the production of Coupled Oxygen.
Started: 2021 Status: Finished
An Arduino based sensor network connected to R for Statistical Computing for logging and visual monitoring. The system started with one Arduino board with a temperature sensor and a photoresistor connected to a laptop running R for Statistical Computing. The system now has evolved to a multi sensor multi purpose monitoring system for environmental and agricultural purposes.
Started: 2016 Status: Finished
A Climate Chamber made from easy obtainable materials controlled by a PLC. The first generation was build in 2016 and had problems with de design of the cooling system. The 2nd generation was build in 2020 with an improved cooling system by splitting the cooling systems entry points with their own tp100 sensor for temperature control. In 2023 the final 3rd generation that I use in my lab was finished.
