A system and method for cultivating plants is described. The system may include a tower structure having a vertical series of vessels for holding a netted pot or other container. The system may have a pressurized irrigation system that is in fluid communication with each vessel. The system may further include lamps to provide an adequate light source. The system may also include sensors, monitors and controls to establish and maintain environmental conditions suitable for proper plant growth. The system may further be implemented as a scalable system in which multiple tower structures may be installed into a scaffold system. Sets of towers may be slidably affixed to a scaffold such that the towers may be slid along a track thereby creating easy access to the plants, vessels, lights and the irrigation system. The system may be expanded to include multiple scaffolds affixed to a skeletal frame or compartment interior.

Cultivation system and methods

An apparatus is provided for controlling the temperature of an engine based on a temperature control signal generated by an electronic control module of the engine. The electronic control module is coupled to a plurality of sensors configured to detect a plurality of engine component parameters and is configured to generate the temperature control signal related to an optimum engine temperature calculated using at least one output signal from at least one of the plurality of sensors. The apparatus includes a controller coupled to the electronic control module and to an engine temperature sensor. The controller generates an output signal based on the temperature control signal received from the electronic control module and on a signal proportional to the actual engine temperature received from the engine temperature sensor. The apparatus also includes an electronically actuated thermostat including a valve located within a coolant flow passageway of the engine and a motor electrically coupled to the controller. The motor is configured to open and close the valve to control flow of a coolant fluid in the coolant flow passageway in response to the output signal from the controller.
