Dry Fog Atomization nozzles were first patented as a jet propulsion technology in the Mid -60's and subsequently licensed by the AeroSpace industry. The Microfog Atomizer evolved out of the original patent work listed at US Patent # US3240254A . Subsequent companies have used the technology for Dust Suppression in the mining industry (Raring Corp.), humidification in the Wine and Beer Industry as well as Smell Suppression and HVAC use cases (Corrigan) . AeroScience is unique in the marketplace because we have significantly lowered the cost of this very expensive and lucrative technology. AeroScience made the nozzle affordable to the masses. Our Patents and Pending Patents are related to new design and utility aspects of dry fog nozzles. Our focus is to lower the amount of water it takes to grow and maintain healthy plants. When Dry fog is applied to the root zone or greenhouse, growers can significantly reduce water and nutrient consumption. Other benefits and advantages include, controlling V.P.D., cost effectively lowering the temperature and controlling humidity. More tangible and financial benefits include increasing overall plant health and yield while simultaneously reducing time to harvest, operational costs and labor. You can learn more at WWW.AEROSCIENCE.INFO One of the biggest uses cases for the Microfog Atomizers that I completely overlooked is sterilization and sanitation related to viruses, bacteria and molds. I have a strong feeling this is going to be huge growth industry in 2020. Thanks for all the support Monster Crew, Cheers, Joshua.
Taking the cost down is Number ONE! What AeroScience has done is beneficial towards making this technology affordable due to the currency fluctuation between countries of the world. I know that a USD$200 nano mist nozzle will be too much for a normal guy living in a country with a weak currency. Thank you Joshua and Co. 👍
This is a nozzle first invented in Sweden in the 70's. It was first brought to the USA by Sonic Development Corporation back in the late 70's. It was then optimized by EnviroCare and Raring Corporation. It was definitely NOT invented by this guy Josh, whoever he is. Also, the MicroFog atomizer is a Trademark of EnviroCare Industries of Novato, CA, which later became EnviroCare International, American Canyon, CA.
No one stated that Josh was the creator of this technology. He worked with engineers to have his nozzle built (not EnviroCare) and holds a patent on it's use in Ag. If EnviroCare offered their equipment to our industry we would be equally excited to promote.
@@MonsterGardensChannel do you guys sell the tubing and connection pieces on your site for the THE MICROFOG CARBON FIBER TIP LOW PRESSURE ATOMIZER (1/4" INLET/OUTPUT) . If not do you have links to direct me
As someone else said, where did it say he was the original inventor. When the idea was bought to the USA and “optimized” by EnviroCare and Raring that means it was made better or changed enough to receive a USA patent. I say that as an assumption, because nothing was mentioned if they got a patent. Think of cars...there are many brands with different features etc. Their brand belongs to them and they can hold patents even on prior created and patented ideas as long as even one thing is changed as to how it functions or if performance is improved or changed and be considered the inventor of that particular design because they made an improvement or significant enough change that it’s approved by the patent office. Trademark really has nothing to do with invention just the name and logo design and protection. The world would have few products nor improvements to those products if only the person who originally developed the idea could be considered the only inventor. Many inventors invent something and never go any further and even die without ever manufacturing the item nor selling the patent in which case the only option is to wait for expiration of the patent, to try and find heirs to buy it, or figure out how to improve or change it enough to get a new patent - all which can take decades - typically 25. If they are lucky they have invented something that just can’t be changed or improved (almost impossible) but then the patent is bought for millions by some large company. This purchase type happens quite often but someone always finds a way to improve or change it and eventually patents expire and everyone can move forward copying it without exerting any brain power. Think of medications, when a big brand name patent runs out then any other drug company can make it themselves the exact same formula as it was originally sold. If they can improve or change it in someway - then they can apply for a new patent and it’s protected until it expires or someone else makes some change or improvement enough to be granted a new patent. Getting patents is not an easy business because you are going up against the entire USA and/or the world depending on your submission for patent protection across the world. When they put their product out - they can be the inventor of the original or the newly improved or they can be the manufacturer of a prior patented but expired product. Keep in mind it’s not only hard-goods, drugs, soft-goods, but also plants. When you buy plants online or even local, you will note comments like Patent # such and such, or Patent Pending or Patent Applied. That means you can’t propagate that plant in any way - not division, cuttings, seed production, tissue culture, etc. - no sexual or asexual methods. Plants also have a 25 yr expiration period and it takes 10s of thousands and years to first breed a plant, trial across the country and then pay for all the legal costs to get a plant patented and that’s all before the thousands and thousands to start production of a new plant and the marketing to promote it. One thing I didn’t mention is something can be named and created in one country and someone else can do the exact same in another country with no issue. If an inventor wants to get patent protection for the typical 25 years across the world, then they have to apply to each country which is quite a feat and very expensive. But again, someone else can always come up with a better mousetrap. Also on the name MicroFog - (name and logo) - if not copyrighted and/or trademarked as appropriate in each country, it can be used by others. These things happen all the time. New inventors quite often lose valuable ideas and millions of dollars because they don’t consult up front with a reputable attorney well versed in patent, trademark, and copyright laws. Even taking your idea to a manufacturer or to an investment or funding angel or company without proper legal protection can have the idea lost to the wind in an heartbeat. Again, these things happen every day.
Monster Gardens It doesn’t have to be offered to the agricultural industry, you just need to find a distributor to buy it from at a price you can sell it. Maybe I misunderstood that part of your statement. Millions of products are used in many other industries than for the one it was originally developed. Look at perlite -Check the Perlite Institute for the many uses besides horticulture.
@@MonsterGardensChannel Josh clearly states that "I am the inventor" which is a lie. What he is saying is factually inaccurate. If he worked with engineers, they were the ones that copied the nozzle, but that is not explicitly what he says. This is nothing more than industrial espionage. I would not support anyone who has (at best) copied a product and then patented it in a specific market. That, my friend, is tantamount to fraud.
There's a clip of a guy using a handheld gun to sterilize an bedroom area. It looked like the atomizer had multiple hoses coming from it. I counted 5 - air/solution lines from the video. I need a dry fog atomizer that mixes two chemicals at the venturi. Do you know of such a dry fogger? Do you know where I could find more information for sterilization? Thanks! BTW, great video!
If I were building an aeroponic/fogponic system, how much power/energy would be required per square meter? That is, assuming a $0.10/KWHr (USD) for electricity what would the energy costs per hour per m^2 be?
According to documents from NASA we want under 5 micron for foliar needs because as you know the width of receptor channels in a normal leaf. Any luck there? The 12 year old girl that won the Google science contest a few years ago achieved 500NM droplet size. Any luck there? There is however a new tech that achieves this size in ultra sonics for medical nebulizers although I do not think it is commercially available yet Nice name for your company and keep going forward.
Do we have any plants that have been grown in the aerotray from seed or clone to harvest that were documented accordingly that we can see? I love the idea but am hesitant at best to be willing to be a tester for $1500 + other component costs not included.
Hi Josh, I am a home based gourmet mushroom grower and I am interested in your nozzles vs a 1000psi high pressure system. I emailed you this morning to talk details. We are interested in them for Humidity production, 95%, without coating the mushrooms in moisture or puddling on the floor. Some of our mushrooms like Lions Mane are hydrophobic and our ultrasonic system is havoc with this species as anywhere moisture beads up on them, the tissue dies out. we have a way to prevent this but it's a big pain in the arse with the work around. We are considering building a high pressure system but this looks much more affordable for us and seems to be comparative in micron size? HPS will achieve a 5-10 micron atomization, effectively preventing moisture build up while maintaining humidity. How does yours compare and have you had third party verification completed yet? Thanks!

cool, bro! still a point to make for those thinking about using it that way... and most misters work on that size level, just with ultrasonic... so yeah.
Hey OP, 30-80 is a fairly broad range, do you have conclusive data on this? We'd love to see it. AeroScience has been testing droplet size as it correlates to potency output in controlled environments for years now. Also, his nozzles fluctuate micron output based on pressure-in, 30-80 micron is achievable with the nozzle if that's what you desire. Thanks for tuning in!
@@MonsterGardensChannel there are studies on the size and how roots absorb them and what kind of roots form at what droplet size. most hpa users opt for something like a 50 micron nozzle. i can imagine that certain elements are easier transported with 30 microns, while others are more effective at 80, maybe that is the reason for the range. i noted the numbers down when i did my research on HPA systems. if i find more data i can share here, i will.
