  Aeroponics
Aeroponics is a technique derived from hydroponics it involves the use of sprayers, nebulizers, foggers, or other Aeroponics devices to create a fine mist of solution to get nutrients to the plant roots.
Aeroponics techniques are used in the cultivation of high value and high demand crops.
In many aeroponics systems the plants are suspended above a resorvoir of a nutrient solution, then a pump delivers a spray of the solution to the roots so the plant is supplied with nutrients constantly.

 Hydroponics :: View topic - Issue 05: Aeroponics
Aeroponics is the most recent development in hydroponic methods, and one that has gained much publicity over recent years.
Since their inception some 30 years ago, it is fair to say that aeroponic techniques have proved very successful for propagation, but have yet to prove themselves on a commercial scale.
The first aeroponic system was developed at the University of Pia in Italy by Dr Franco Massantini, which led to the development of the colonna di coltura.

  Aeroponics systems, supplies and information.
Aeroponics is a term routinely used to describe several types of systems.
In the pure aeroponics system the plants roots are allowed to fully drain while still in a humid, dark environment.
Deep flow aeroponics systems are aeroponic because they use misters to oxygenate and distribute the nutrient and deep flow because they incorporate a riser into the grow chamber to prevent all the nutrient from draining out.

 Quick Grow Articles
Aeroponics is a growing method where the plant roots are suspended in the air with a fine mist of nutrient solution applied either continually or intermittently over the root surface.
Aeroponics systems are further divided into those which have a separate nutrient reservoir and pump the nutrient up into the root chambers and those with an all in one' contained chamber and nutrient tank.
Aeroponic technology is progressing at a rapid rate, not only is this an easy to operate system of hydroponics but it has the potential for faster growth rates and higher yields than most traditional methods of plant production.

 Aeroponics and Aeroponics Information
Aeroponics is the most recent addition to the agriculture community and what an impact it has made on the hydroponics community.
Aeroponics gets its awesome growing power and results by the fact that with plant roots being suspended in midair all essential nutrients can be delivered to the plant by spraying a fine spray of nutrients directly to the plants roots.
There are also some aeroponics hybrid systems that are starting to emerge that provide a great system that has all the benefits of aeroponics but also a backup system so the roots are hanging in a thin film of solution to stop root dry out in the event of a power failure.

 4TH YOUNG INVENTORS AWARDS: WINNERS: BRONZE -- January 22, 2004
The students were growing the lettuce on the rooftop of the polytechnic's life-sciences lab using a conventional "aeroponics" system.
When the two students compared the lettuce grown using their air-dynaponics system and lettuce grown under traditional aeroponics, they found that the crops were of equal weight and similar quality.
Now the Tans, who have recently graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic's three-year diploma course in life sciences, hope their successors at the school can carry on and build a larger model of the system that could be broken down into modular kits and sold to the public.

 AeroGarden & Hydroponic Technology - How the AeroGarden works
Hydroponics and Aeroponics are changing the way we garden and making it even easier for anyone, regardless of their gardening experience to enjoy fresh, home grown produce.
Aeroponics is a hydroponic technique that uses air in addition to water, using sprayers, misters or drip systems to feed the plants roots directly while they are suspended in the air.
The AeroGarden's aeroponic techniques are more effective than other hydroponics methods because the increase aeration allows the plants to absorb more oxygen, which stimulates growth and prevents algae from forming.

 grow box hydroponics and aeroponics - Marijuana Growing - PlanetSkunk
Aeroponics is a form of Hydroponics in which the roots are not 100% in the water and water is sprayed onto the roots.
I use Aeroponic myself as I don't like stuffing around with noisy air pumps, my system is the type where water is pumped from a reservoir into micro-irrigation sprinklers which sprays onto the roots and then drains back into the reservoir in a cycle.
A DWC system consists of a 5-10 Litre bucket mostly full of water, a net pot (pot full of holes), is placed into a hole in the lid and an air stone is placed in the bucket, an air pump feeds air to the air stone to keep the water oxygenated.

 Aeroponics
Aeroponics, like hydroponics, is a technique for growing plants without the use of soil.
If the nutrient levels of a plant's water supply is artificially maintained and the water directly applied to its root system, soil is no longer required for the plant to thrive.
In the aeroponic method, water is applied as a mist to the root system of the plant.

 AEROPONICS AND POTATOES
Aeroponics would appear to have a number of potential attributes to make potato production more efficient.
It appears that vegetative methods of propagation will dominate commercial potato production, and aeroponics has the potential to eliminate all but 1 generation of seed potato multiplication in the field thus lowering costs and raising the plant health quality of the first field production generation.
Furthermore aeroponics offers the opportunity to determine the precise fertilizer requirements for the crop, and thus increase productivity (using drip fertigation), reduce fertilizer usage, and reduce the risk of excessive fertilizer residues moving into the subterranean water table.

 How do I build an aeroponics system? - Hydroponics Online
Not aeroponics, but a top fed drip system with a return to the tank.
Anyway, the gist of the information is that due to the high heat in these tropical countries, the local growers have turned to Aeroponics because the misting of the nutrient solution is cooled as it is sprayed out in the tank chamber and this helps keep the temperatures down on the roots.
I have been considering trying to an aeroponics (misting) system, and was wondering if you knew of any nutrient metering system that would allow me to run the misters from a garden hose with nutrients adding into the spray continuously, eliminating the need for a tank.
