This hexagonal system was designed to focus on the drip system problem. It allowed for 6 sides to have plants on. Each side could have upto 6 cups to hold plants. Each side is able to rotate for easy harvesting. The system is also on wheels and is able to move freely. The system was designed to be able to fit in elevators. Lastly, the system had a pump that pumps water to the top and drips from cup to cup.
In order to recreate the system, one must have sheet metal, wood, a reservoir, tubing and screws. The metal must be cut in a hexagonal type shape and have the wood cut 4 feet long and have 6 pieces of the 4 foot long wood. You must attach the hexagonal wood to the metal by screwing them. The reservoir must have the wheels attached to it. The tube goes from the reservoir to the top and each cup is attached to the 4 foot wood piece. That is the way to recreate the system.
