that would be a good diy for someone to do. someone should do it.
id think itd be harder than youd think, and to get the thing to all work properly and reliably seems like itd be lotsa trouble, esp considering how much work they are, I had one sitting for a year, finally got the cuts for it and then got it spinning and now 1 month in i think imma just sell it and put a tray where this thing is as it just seems to get in my way when im in my room, basically even if you could build one, its a waste of time if you realize after its all built and going that the results probably wont be that great, i might finish my round out with it and see how everything comes out but im really itching to get a tray in there and get this thing outta my room. check my gallery for some pix, hth

A DIY for this unit would be close to impossible for your average Joe. You would need way too many custom precision parts for this project. This unit is more suited for your commercial type growers and I guess its price is justifiable if that is its intended purpose.

I would like to know why its not working out for you.
I have already designed a cheap rotary garden, too cheap in fact... so cheap that if the designs got out everyone and their dog would be yielding 5/lb per 1000W.
So I'm gonna sit here and laugh, with my awesome design, which I will never show anyone, and will probably never make.
Suckers.
PS: My design is a 2kw / 200 plant aeroponic system, completely designed and with a cost analysis done.
Good luck to those that want to DIY though.

what was the point of that?????
that was almost worse than the thread started earlier today by some other member talking about how great his elite cut was and how he'd never let anyone else touch it but the smoke was soooo great. just confuses/disapoints me.
Is there a reason for you not sharing? Putting it on the market possibly in the future? If that was the case, i'd say you have a great reason not to tell anyone how it works.
so 5lb/1k eh? that would be pretty impressive IF you had actually tested it and pulled that off. However, i seriously doubt that though i'd love to be proven wrong.
The E&F style that the rotogrow or whatever it is uses in its dip and rotate design theoretically would yield less than an efficient aeroponics system, i guess ill agree with ya if you used that logic path to your projected yields (basing them off the guys and girls who get 6lb per 2k in the current systems being manufactured).
I guess im just curious as to how you arrived at your projected yields and figuring out how awesome your system is without actually building it (noticed you said designed, not built)
Hopefully if its so great you can get smart, get a patent out on it, then sell someone the rights or build it yourself so other growers can actually benefit instead of just seeing your 'knowledge' flaunted pointlessly.
ok, im done now
The point? Was more or less disputing eLiguls comment that a DIY rotary ain't for the average Joe... which I guess depends on how low of a bar we set for the average Joe.
The reason to not share? Greed. No immediate plans, but you never know.
5lb per 1000W is a pure re-hash of other rotary gardeners claims, just an optimistic ball park estimate.
I'm not willing to show my design, but I will contribute to the design of a community DIY rotary garden.
I suspect there arn't many interested though, and as said earlier, this is more for 'commercial' growers than anything.
w00t!
PS: The awesomeness of my design would blind you.
Much better than my "vertical Tube-coil eb & flow" bastard child idea:

its a good reason not to share. i think i came off a bit abrasive........oops. Honestly though, sharing the design on here most likely isn't gonna help that many on here (as in not many would put in the work to build their own even if you put up a design).
glad ya figured out something interesting to build

I stand by what I stated earlier. The custom parts needed for this project is beyond your average Joe. Your "design" could very well work and if you ever decide to build it (i see no reason why you wouldnt seeing as how you planned and priced everything out) you will find out why in hypothetically both "practice and theory" are equal but in reality "theory is not equal to practice".
