    Can anyone confirm that it runs on 120V15A? That's unbelievable right there for a system that claims to use plasma/lightning. Wouldn't 240V50A make the system work 6 times faster? With an engineering background in a past life I'd love to take a screwdriver to one of these. Right up there with that contraption that put your tractor exhaust into your air cart fan. What ever happened to that system?
    From their website:

    How much power does your machine use?
    Our 6-head unit for 2024 draws 1,100 watts. This unit produces 36,500 gallons of product a year.


    1100 watts is the same as the average 4 slice toaster.


    Also: Are there any requirements for storage of the product?

    Store the product away from direct sunlight to avoid evaporation and algae growth. The product is prone to freezing which does not affect the quality of the product, but is something to consider for storage tank

    How much actual nitrogen is in the product?
    The product from our machines is high in NO3 which is what the plant consumes directly, allowing the plant to need less. One gallon of our product will equate to 2-3 pounds (units) of traditional N.


    What does "equate" mean?

      It’s like the mysterious powers of magnets. Seen this and other such nonsense around the racetracks. Typical anecdotal accounts which turn into the gospel after the telephone game. Non biased double blind testing replicated multiple times is all I believe. Even our own experiences can be can be misleading. Case in point. I was using urea and S15 blend on canola and ran out the blend on barley. I switched over to a urea and 11-52 blend with same nitrogen and phos as previous blend. Lo and behold the s15 blend side by side was 15 bushels better. That one instance convinced me to use it across the whole farm. I never did any trials on other fields in different years to really prove it. Maybe it really is better but how do I know with certainty. Read a couple studies comparing s15 to ams and 11-52 and they could see no benefit.

        Its a way to push the envelope a little more. Be skeptic I don't give a shit it did something in a year of average yield for us. Like I said last N costs me $40000 grand and really does it give me much more. I have pissed money away on buying into Fert companies etc this maybe does change the game.

        At almost a mill a quarter shortly you have to increase yields and cut costs to stay ahead of the game.

        It is a ****ing game.

          Hey Sask that's awesome that you bought one. Sounds like pocket change for you to try this tech out. Give us the real scoop though. None of this 'Ford is the best because that's what I spent my money on' crap. 'Oh it's a form of N you can't test for' OMG Bullsh!t.

            If it's not a hot link, copy and paste into your browser search bar.

            You can spend alot more than the two entry level options.


            That didn't work very good, the size options are in the drop down menu under "OUR SYSTEMS".

              Oh oh, there's a religious quote on the website, Ecclesiastes 2:26.

              Maybe "faith" is required. Simply believing.... I never believed in relying on the help of religion to sell a product.

              I'm already feeling the heat!

                The Jerusalem Artichoke scam of the late 70’s early 80’s was pushed by a tent revival preacher.

                    Yeah all of that is why this sets me off. So many charlatans trying to wring dollars out of rube farmers. Some farmers are only 'businessmen' because their fathers were. What qualifications do you have to run a multi million dollar business other that you inherited it? These people prey on you with their scams. You have generational money. They want it.

                      Tucker if you don't try different things you never learn. What I seen last year showed something and we had it to try from spring till fall. I'm not buying 8 to 10 machines maybe one or two then well see with more trials on our farm.
