[0047] Figure 4 is the diagram for a black soldier fly (BSF) composter and automatic fish feeder 122 for illustrative systems and methods for aquaponics in a solar greenhouse with a black soldier fly (BSF) composter and automatic fish feeder. In Figure 4, the BSF composter and automatic fish feeder 122 include a housing 402 (e.g., made from a 113-liter (30-gallon) black plastic pellet, etc.). The housing 402 is loaded with media 404 (e.g., reptile bedding material, coconut fiber, etc.) that retains BSF larvae 406. Organic matter 408 is placed on top of the media through a lid 410 for the BSF larvae 406 to consume. Petition 870260063265, dated 06 / 26 / 2026, p. 18 / 114 13 / 46 When the larvae 406 are ready to become flies, they climb an internal ramp 412 (e.g., at 30-45 degrees, etc.) to an external ramp 414 and fall into the aquarium 108 (not shown) to be consumed by the fish. Advantageously, the BSF 122 system acts as a highly effective composter for most organic matter, and the larvae 406 provide high-quality fish feed. An inlet hole 416 is provided for gravid black soldier flies to enter and deposit their eggs, thereby generating more BSF larvae 406. An outlet 418 is provided to capture leachate juices 420 from the BSF composter, which can be diluted with water (e.g., at 20:1, etc.) and returned to the aquarium 108 (not shown) to be fed to the grow beds 110 (not shown) as fertilizer.
[0048] Figure 5 is the diagram for a rocket mass heater (RMH) 104 for illustrative systems and methods for aquaponics in a solar greenhouse with black soldier fly (BSF) composter and automatic fish feeder. In Figure 5, the rocket mass heater 104 includes an L-shaped mass chamber 502 with wood and air combustion 504 entering at one end, and heated air 506 exiting at the other end to heat the greenhouse 100 (not shown). The RMH 104 may include a large mass (e.g., fireplace bricks, etc.) that is heated and retains heat to be dissipated throughout the greenhouse 100 (not shown). Metal coils 508 may be wound around the RMH 104 to heat aquarium water as needed, with some electronically controlled valves 510 (e.g., for computer, internet control, etc.). Petition 870260063265, dated 06 / 26 / 2026, page 19 / 114 14 / 46 The RMH 104 can be buried in the floor of greenhouse 100 (not shown) with a layer of gravel on top to minimize the footprint.
[0049] Figure 6 is the diagram for a geyser pump (GP) 114 for illustrative systems and methods for aquaponics in a solar greenhouse with black soldier fly composter (BSF) and automatic fish feeder. In Figure 6, the geyser pump 114 may include a large air chamber 602 (e.g., white plastic PVC pipe of 10.16 cm (4”), etc.) with a vertical water pipe 604 (e.g., 2.54 cm (1”) white plastic PVC pipe, etc.) fitted at its center. An air pump 606 (e.g., an 18-35 watt air pump that is run on electric, solar, wind power, etc.) is connected to an air line 608 (e.g., 0.63 cm (1 / 4”) plastic line, etc.) that pumps air into the bottom of the air chamber 602. Since the air chamber 602 is filled with air, water from the bottom of the air chamber 602 is pumped into the grow bed 110 (not shown), while aquarium water 108 (not shown) is aerated. Advantageously, each grow bed 110 (not shown) includes its own geyser-type pump 114 and air pump 606 which provides low energy requirements, water pumping, aeration, redundancy.
[0050] Figure 7 is the diagram for a bell siphon (BS) 116 for illustrative systems and methods for aquaponics in a solar greenhouse with black soldier fly composter (BSF) and automatic fish feeder. In Figure 7, the bell siphon 116 may include a bell pipe 702 (e.g., 5.08 cm-10.16 cm (2”-4”) white plastic PVC pipe, etc.), a vertical pipe 704 (e.g., white plastic PVC pipe) Petition 870260063265, dated 06 / 26 / 2026, page 20 / 114 15 / 46 of 1.27 cm / 2.54 cm (1 / 2”-1”), etc.), and a 706 siphon break line (e.g., 0.63 cm-1.27 cm (1 / 4”-1 / 2”) clear or opaque plastic tubing, etc.). A water pipe 708 inside the growing bed 110 and connected to the bell pipe. 702 admits water from the grow bed 110. When the water reaches a siphon level 710 established by the vertical pipe 704 lower than a median level 712 (e.g., approximately 5.08 cm (2”) above the siphon level 710, etc.), the water initiates a siphon effect and drains the water from the grow bed 110 into the aquarium 108 (not shown) faster than the water can be pumped by the geyser-type pump 114 (not shown). When the water level drops to the bottom of the siphon break 706, air is extracted from the siphon break, and a flood cycle begins in the grow bed 110 from the water pumped by the geyser-type pump 114. Advantageously, the bell siphon 116 is located externally to the grow bed 110 for ease of cleaning and maintenance.
[0051] Figure 8 is the diagram for a rainwater harvesting (RWC) system 108 for illustrative systems and methods for aquaponics in a solar greenhouse with black soldier fly (BSF) composter and automatic fish feeder. In Figure 8, the RWC system 108 may include the outer edges of the greenhouse roof 100 fitted with reflective gutters 802 to capture rain. The captured rain flows through a rainwater catchment line 804 into one or more water collection tanks 806 (e.g., 208-liter (55-gallon) black plastic drums, water wall, etc.) inside the greenhouse 100. The first water collection tank 806 may include limestone 808, in a bottom part of the Petition 870260063265, dated 06 / 26 / 2026, page 21 / 114 16 / 46 even to adjust the pH and can overflow via a connecting line 810 into additional water collection tanks 806. The last water collection tank 806 may include a water pump 812 (or for example, it may operate based on gravity, etc.) to pump water into aquarium 108 (not shown) as needed (e.g., based on a float arrangement, electronic sensor, etc.). The water from aquarium 108 may be pumped or gravity supplied to an aquarium heating line 814 for circulation in the reflective trough 802 for solar heating of the aquarium water via electronically controlled valves 812 (e.g., for computer, internet control, etc.). Advantageously, with the RWC 106 system, rainwater can be collected for use by the aquarium 108, the aquarium water can be heated, and additional water mass for solar heating by the greenhouse 100 can be provided.

A mushroom substrate 1312 with a transparent glass or plastic cover 1314 can be placed on the media 1310 to cultivate edible mushrooms, advantageously providing CO2 and O2 exchange, biological filtration of nitrates, an additional food source. The flooding and draining action of the media bed 110 advantageously maintains moisture and provides air exchange for mushroom cultivation.
[0057] Figures 14A-14B are an illustrative rigid filter used in the systems and methods for aquaponics in a solar greenhouse with black soldier fly (BSF) composter and automatic fish feeder of Figures 1-13. In Figures 14A-14B, the rigid filter 112 may include a water inlet pipe 1402. The water inlet pipe 1402 may be supplied with water from the aquarium 108 by means of a geyser-type pump or a water pump (not shown) coupled to the aquarium 108. The inlet water from the water inlet pipe 1402 is supplied to a measuring well 1404 which is coupled to a funnel-shaped settling chamber 1406. The funnel-shaped settling chamber 1406 is coupled to a valve 1408 coupled to an outlet drain pipe 1410 to purge fish residue that is settled in the settling chamber 1406. The water inlet from the pipe Petition 870260063265, dated 06 / 26 / 2026, page 25 / 114 20 / 46 water inlet 1402 is loaded into the settling chamber 1406 and then rises and passes through a series of one or more media filters 1412 (e.g., advanced filter media of the Matala® type) set up around the measuring well 1404, and starting from the bottom of the settling chamber 1406 with a coarse filter 1412 up to a fine filter 1412 near the top of the measuring well 1404. The water then rises and is filtered through the media filters 1412. The filtered water then enters a Weir chamber 1414 which has diffuser stones 1420 resting on the top media filter 1412. The diffuser stones 1420 provide degassing of the filtered water in the Weir chamber 1414. A sponge-type filter 1416 is provided around the Weir chamber 1414 to further filter the water before the filtered water is emitted through an outlet pipe 1418 back to the aquarium 108 and / or the grow beds 110.Aquatic plants and algae (not shown), such as duckweed, beneficial algae, can be grown in the filtered water in the Weir 1414 chamber for additional water filtration and for use as fish feed supplements. Advantageously, the algae grown in the Weir 1414 chamber can include omega fatty acids typically absent from conventionally farmed fish. Employing a geyser-type pump (not shown) to feed the water inlet pipe 1402 advantageously allows the system of Figures 1-14 to be run without employing any conventional water pumps, as with conventional aquaponics systems.

Air pumps 106 are coupled to their respective air tanks 1506 by means of one-way valves 1508. The respective air tanks 1506 are coupled in series by means of their respective pressure relief valves 1510 configured to maintain an air pressure suitable for powering the respective geyser-type pumps 114. As the first air tank is pressurized, the valves 1510 allow the subsequent air tanks 1506 to be pressurized until the last tank 1506 is full.When the air tanks 1506 are filled to capacity, the power to the air pumps 606 from the batteries 1504 can be switched off with a suitable air-powered solenoid switch (not shown) and actuated by one or more of the respective pressure relief valves 1510. Advantageously, such an air distribution configuration allows the system to be run solely from air and by means of solar and / or wind power, and with N-way redundancy.
[0059] Figure 16 is an illustrative rocket mass heater configuration employed in the systems and methods for aquaponics in a solar greenhouse with black soldier fly (BSF) composter and automatic fish feeder of Figures 1-15 and 17. In Figure 16, the rocket mass heater configuration 104 may include a rocket oven 1602 that Petition 870260063265, dated 06 / 26 / 2026, page 27 / 114 22 / 46 has an air supply 1608, a fuel chamber 1606, and a heated gas outlet 1610. The heated gas outlet 1610 is coupled to one or more suitable masses 1604 (e.g., clay tubing with a cylindrical or square shape, etc.) coupled together by means of their respective gas inlet and outlet ports 1612 and 1614. The outlet port of the final mass 1604 can be coupled to a gas outlet pipe (not shown). Advantageously, the hot gases from the gas outlet 1610 of the rocket furnace 1602 enter the first mass 1604 and rise, and then exit when cooled from a lower portion thereof by means of the first gas outlet 1612 coupled to the second mass 1604, and so forth, to effectively heat each of the masses 1604 with coolant and cooling gases in series.
[0060] Figure 17 is an illustrative on-demand hydroponics setup employed in the systems and methods for aquaponics in a solar greenhouse with black soldier fly (BSF) composter and automatic fish feeder of Figures 1-16. In Figure 17, the on-demand hydroponics setup 1700 may include respective hydroponic tanks 1702 which have respective geyser-type pumps 1704 to pump hydroponic water from the tanks 1702 to the respective grow beds 110 which may also be supplied with water from the aquarium 108 by means of the respective geyser-type pumps 114. The respective air switches 1706 allow the selection of air to be delivered to the respective geyser-type pumps 1704 and / or 114. The respective outflow water from the grow beds 110 may be cycled back to the respective hydroponic tanks 1702 and / or the aquarium 108 by means of the respective Petition 870260063265, dated 06 / 26 / 2026, page 28 / 11423 / 46 selector valves 1708 and 1710. Advantageously, each of the growing beds 110 can be configured to cycle water from the aquarium 108 and / or the respective hydroponic tanks 1702. This configuration advantageously allows the cycling of, for example, high nitrate aquarium water 108 to one or more of the growing beds 110 for vegetative growth by sending air to only one or more of the geyser-type pumps 114 by means of appropriate configuration of the respective air switches 1706 and the respective selector valves 1708 and 1710.After a desired vegetative growth stage has been completed in one or more of the growing beds 110, cycling, for example, of low nitrate, high phosphorus and potassium water from hydroponic tanks 1702 to one or more of the growing beds 110 for flower and fruiting cultivation can be achieved by sending air to only one or more of the geyser-type pumps 1704 by means of the appropriate setting of the respective air switches 1706 and the respective selector valves 1708 and 1710. Advantageously, plants requiring nitrates and / or tall plants requiring low nitrates and high phosphorus and potassium can be accommodated in one or more of the respective growing beds 110 with appropriate setting of the respective air switches 1706 and the respective selector valves 1708 and 1710.
[0061] Figure 18 is an illustrative aquaponics mushroom filter and capillary bed configuration employed in the systems and methods for aquaponics in a solar greenhouse with black soldier fly (BSF) composter and automatic fish feeder of Figures 1-17 and 19-21. In Figure 18, the mushroom substrate 1312 is included along the media separator 1306, so that the bell siphon 116 floods Petition 870260063265, dated 06 / 26 / 2026, p. 29 / 114 24 / 46 and drain the mushroom substrate 1312 to a water level 1802 determined by the vertical pipe 704. In this way, the mushroom substrate 1312 can be hydrated to increase fruiting, as well as adding beneficial microbes, during flood and drain cycles, advantageously increasing mushroom fruit production. Advantageously, the mushroom substrate 1312 can be inoculated and colonized directly in the culture bed 110 of flood and drain media. During the colonization stage, the flooding and draining action is switched off, for example, by turning off the air supply to the geyser-type pump that feeds the culture bed 110, so that the mycelium can fully colonize the mushroom substrate 1312. After the mushroom substrate 1312 is fully colonized, the flooding and draining mechanism can be switched on, in order to hydrate the mushroom substrate 1312 for increased fruiting, as previously described.In addition, the water from the aquarium can contain around 1-2 parts per thousand of salt for the health of the fish, and it also acts as an antibacterial agent to reduce contamination of the substrate by fungus 1312.
[0062] Advantageously, since the system can be completely powered by air, the suction from the air pumps used to power the geyser-type pumps can be used to extract CO2 from the mushroom substrate 1312 and mushroom fruits, thus increasing the exchange of fresh air and producing mushroom fruits with desirable characteristics. Furthermore, the CO2 extracted from the mushroom substrate 1312 and mushroom fruits can be used by the algae and duckweed biofilter, previously described, for example, in relation to Figure 14B, to create a system of Petition 870260063265, dated 06 / 26 / 2026, p. 30 / 114 25 / 46 closed loop in which the CO2 from the mushrooms is used by the algae and the duckweed biofilter in Figure 14B.
[0063] In additional embodiments, a log or block of wood 1806 that is inoculated with pins colonized with mushroom mycelium can be inserted within the growing bed media 110 to create a natural log-type mushroom growing system. Advantageously, plants can also be grown in the growing bed 110 to provide oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange between the plants and the logs with mushroom 1806 and / or mushroom substrate 1312, and the mushrooms growing on them.
[0064] In additional embodiments, a nebulizer 1808 (e.g., of the ultrasonic type, etc.) with a fan 1810 can be positioned on the root protection 1302, so that when the root protection 1302 is filled with water during flood and drainage cycles, mist is created, which is then distributed by means of the fan 1810 to the mushroom substrate 1312 or to the logs 1803 and the mushrooms growing on them, advantageously increasing the exchange of fresh air.
[0065] Figure 19 is an illustrative aquaponics mushroom filter and capillary bed configuration employed in the systems and methods for aquaponics in a solar greenhouse with black soldier fly (BSF) composter and automatic fish feeder of Figures 1-18 and 20-21. In Figure 19, spacer tubes 1902 are positioned between the media separator 1306 and the growing bed walls to create spaces around the mushroom substrate in the flood and drain media growing bed 110. Advantageously, this can increase the amount of air that is Petition 870260063265, dated 06 / 26 / 2026, page 31 / 114 26 / 46 extracted around the mushroom substrate during the flood and drain action.
[0066] Furthermore, a substrate cover 1904, for example, made of a light-free plastic material, can be sealed over the top of the substrate so as to maintain moisture in the substrate during the fruiting stages. Fruiting rings 1906 can be arranged in the substrate cover 1904 to provide points for dispersed mushroom fruiting throughout the entire substrate. Advantageously, the sizes of the mushroom clusters can be adjusted based on the diversity of fruiting rings 1906 employed in the substrate cover 1904. The fruiting rings 1906 can be positioned in the substrate cover 1904 and covered with a suitable filter material, for example, microporous tape, polycarp, to reduce contamination while allowing fresh air exchange.
[0067] Figures 20A-20B are illustrative mushroom and vegetable fruiting chamber configurations employed in the systems and methods for aquaponics in a solar greenhouse with black soldier fly (BSF) composter and automatic fish feeder of Figures 1-19 and 21. In Figures 20A-20B, an isolated housing enclosure 2002 is fitted with a shelving unit 2004, for example, of the type of shelving units used in restaurants.

[0068] Microgreen racks 2006 can be positioned in a lower portion of the shelving unit 2004, with mushroom trunks or bags 2008 suspended in a Petition 870260063265, dated 06 / 26 / 2026, page 32 / 114 27 / 46 upper portion of shelving unit 2004. Advantageously, the CO2 produced by the mushroom logs and / or bags 2008 and / or mushrooms growing on them settles in the bottom of shelving unit 2004 and is used by the plants in the vegetable racks 2006. Similarly, the plant racks 2006 supply oxygen to the mushroom logs or bags 2008. Advantageously, air exchange and humidity can be maintained with this configuration so that humidifiers or fans do not need to be used.
[0069] Lights 2010 (e.g., LED type lights, grow lights, etc.) can be arranged in the housing 2002 and / or the shelving unit 2004 to provide lighting for the plants on the vegetable shelf 2006 and for the mushrooms growing on the logs or bags 2008. In further embodiments, an aquaponics-type aquarium 2012 with a water pump or geyser-type pump 2014 can be used to distribute nutrient-rich water to the vegetable shelves 2006 via the outlet 2018. A return line 2018 can return the filtered water from the vegetable shelves 2006 back to the aquarium 2012. Advantageously, the humidity provided by the aquaponics component can be used to increase the humidity in the mushroom and vegetable fruiting chamber 2000, for enhanced plant and mushroom cultivation.
[0070] In Figure 20B, the mushroom trunks or pouches 2008 can be placed on the mushroom racks 2020, instead of or in addition to being suspended from the shelving unit 2004, as shown in Figure 20A. Advantageously, the racks 2006 and 2020 can be configured as shelving units. Petition 870260063265, dated 06 / 26 / 2026, page 33 / 114 Conventional 28 / 46 restaurant racks allow for easy loading and removal of mushrooms and plants, for example, in a restaurant-type configuration. In additional embodiments, aquarium 2012 does not need to be employed, wherein nutrient-rich water from aquarium 108 and / or one or more of the hydroponic tanks 1702 can be fed into racks 2006 with return 2018 coupled back to return the filtered water to aquarium 108 and / or one or more of the hydroponic tanks 1702.
[0071] Figure 21 is an illustrative solar greenhouse with a natural air ventilation configuration employed in the systems and methods for solar greenhouse aquaponics with black soldier fly (BSF) composter and automatic fish feeder of Figures 1-20. In Figure 21, a reservoir or trough 2102 feeds water to a pre-filter 2104 connected to a pump 2106 that supplies pressurized water to a sprayer 2110 via a water line 2108. The pressurized water from the pump 2106 provides a fine mist from the sprayer 2110 which is transmitted downwards to the channel formed by a plenum or secondary roof 2112 that is below the north roof of the greenhouse. Channel 2114, which is advantageously formed, produces a cool air current as the water that is transformed into mist condenses, thus creating a natural airflow that flows into channel 2114 towards the bottom of the greenhouse.
[0072] The water that condenses from sprayer 2110 is captured by plenum 2112 and fed back to trough 2102 to be recycled and returned through filter 2104 to pump 2106 and water line 2108 to sprayer 2110. In additional embodiments, a Petition 870260063265, dated 06 / 26 / 2026, p. 34 / 114 29 / 46 A straw or similar material conveyor belt 2116 may be arranged at the front of the sprayer 2110 with a fan 2118 that draws air through the conveyor belt 2116 to produce an evaporative air conditioner, the type of effect that occurs in channel 2114.

Advantageously, the mushroom chamber 2120 can be located behind the water wall 1002 of the Chinese solar greenhouse. The cold air flowing into channel 2114 in the mushroom chamber 2120 can advantageously extract carbon dioxide from the mushroom trunks or pouches 2008 towards the bottom of the greenhouse to be recycled by the plants on the other side of the water wall 1002 in a plant chamber 2124. A fan 2122 can be provided, if necessary, to further improve the exchange of CO2 and O2 from the mushroom chamber 2120 to the plant section of the greenhouse.
[0074] Advantageously, the river air flowing through channel 2114 and mushroom chamber 2120 creates a natural circular circulation pattern as the air cools and then is heated and rises in the plant chamber 2124 and is expelled through the upper vent 120. The lower vent 120 can also introduce fresh cool air into the system and further assists the air to circulate with carbon dioxide in a circular pattern in the greenhouse. As with previous embodiments, advantageously, CO2 and O2 gas exchange is provided to benefit both the plants and the mushrooms being cultivated. In further embodiments, one or more of the growing beds 110 configured for growing mushrooms, as described above, may be located behind the wall.
