Introduction
The Water Wheel Hydroponic System is a rotating hydroponic setup where plants grow without soil using nutrient-rich water. The system is currently under development and aims to provide equal water, nutrients, and oxygen to all plants through continuous rotation.
1.Base Structure Preparation
A tank is being used as the nutrient reservoir, and a supporting frame has been prepared.
2.Wheel Installation
Bicycle wheels have been mounted and connected using a shaft to create the rotating mechanism. Tank is used as the base reservoir, and two bicycle wheels are mounted on a central shaft. A metal frame supports the structure and keeps the wheels aligned. This setup forms the foundation of the rotating system, which will later be used to hold plant pots and enable smooth rotation.
Objectives
To design a rotating system for 16 plant pots
To achieve rotation at ~1 RPM
To ensure equal nutrient distribution
Methodology
Bicycle wheel is used as rotating structure
Scrap tank is used as DWC base
Motor will be used for rotation
Pots will be arranged evenly
Current Status
The basic structure and wheel setup have been completed. Pot placement planning is in progress. Motor installation and final assembly are yet to be completed.
