The North Garden Ecosystem
Our solution is a synthesis of several core technologies, creating a self-sufficient and revolutionary approach to modern agriculture.
Vertical Coiled Towers & Utility Core
The core of our system is a central grow tower whose structural integrity is maximized by a double-helix exoskeleton. To create a full North Garden facility, multiple towers are arranged in a scalable hexagonal grid. At the center of this grid lies the Utility Core, housing the shared pyrolysis and water desalination plants. This centralized design maximizes energy efficiency by minimizing transmission distances for heat, water, and biomass throughout the campus.

Our farms operate 24/7 with full autonomy. In the space between the central grow coil and the tower's hexagonal exoskeleton, multiple lightweight robotic arms scale the height of the tower. Guided by our AI, these arms perform all necessary tasks: pruning leaves, adjusting growth geometries for optimal light exposure, and harvesting fruit at the perfect moment of ripeness.
Dynamic 360° Lighting System
A single, full-spectrum LED column runs up the hollow core of the tower, providing an exceptionally efficient light source. To ensure uniform development, each grow disk individually rotates, giving every plant 360-degree exposure. The AI precisely controls the light's intensity and spectrum, creating an optimized "daylight" cycle for each specific crop.
Dynamic Grow Disk Mechanism
Each grow disk is an advanced robotic system. It features a variable-aperture Hoberman iris and a sealed 'starshade' root carapace, allowing for precise environmental control and adaptation to plant growth from seedling to mature tree.

The tower operates as a sealed ecosystem with its own integrated climate system. Waste heat from our pyrolysis unit provides warmth while geothermal loops provide cooling, eliminating traditional HVAC energy costs. Crucially, CO₂ captured from our energy process is reinjected into the atmosphere, creating an enriched environment that can accelerate plant growth by over 30%.
Zero-Input Farming
Our enclosed towers create a perfect ecosystem free from GMOs or pesticides. A fogponics system delivers nutrients to the roots, which work in symbiosis with custom-cultivated mycorrhizal fungi to maximize nutrient uptake and ensure plant health, resulting in verifiably pure produce.
Staple Crop Production
While most vertical farms are limited to leafy greens, our system is engineered to grow the world's most critical staple crops. Our ability to cultivate foundational grains like wheat and rice without fields or chemical inputs addresses global food security at its core, all while using over 95% less water than traditional methods.
Two-Stage Water Purification
Our system solves water scarcity with a highly efficient, two-stage process. First, microalgae in our bioreactors perform the heavy lifting of desalination by absorbing the majority of salt content. This phycoremediation step dramatically reduces the energy required for a final, low-pressure filtration stage, resulting in a process that consumes 60-80% less energy than conventional desalination plants.
Engineered Forestry & Materials
By growing feedstock like bamboo and trees at dramatically accelerated rates—enhanced by proprietary electroculture techniques—we can manufacture superior products. Our pyrolysis process transforms this engineered biomass into high-purity carbon for advanced applications, including steel-quality building materials.
Advanced Cogeneration & Energy Matrix
The facility operates on a closed-loop, cogeneration principle. Excess heat from our pyrolysis tubes is transferred to a secondary loop, creating high-pressure steam. We utilize a proprietary, pressure-actuated impulse turbine—a design inspired by deployable starshade structures—to convert this steam into electricity with unparalleled efficiency.
Carbon Sequestration Cycle
Plants naturally capture atmospheric CO₂ as they grow. Our system accelerates this process and then, through pyrolysis, converts that captured carbon into highly stable, long-term forms. By embedding it in biochar and our durable building materials, we effectively remove carbon from the atmosphere for centuries.
