Good presentation overall, at the 20 minute mark he talks of making nitrogen based on the basic idea that our air is 80% nitrogen. Doesn't seem like too radical of an idea to say that the 80% nitrogen all around us can be extracted and put into a form that can then be fed to a plant. He didn't get into specifics but the looks of the equipment it appears to be an electrostatic charge is applied to compressed air fed into the column and then water is passed through to pickup the nitrates formed. The column with the electrostatic charge is better known as a precipitator and have worked on the electrics side of things in my career. Basically high voltage applied to two plates to create a charge and anything passing between the plates gets subjected to the charge. Old technology. As he says in the video, he still needs to quantify the equivalent amount of nitrogen as we know it that is produced but looks like it is pretty high in his initial trials.

That is a great concept !
I always wondered how much nitrogen in an area a lightening strike on your land produces . Over the years I have noticed maybe 10-20 feet wide affected areas.
For this equipment to work it would have to send quite a jolt of current to spread nitrogen over a sizeable boom lenght . I wonder what the limits are ?
It is rare to see lightening strikes producing excess nitrogen spots on land .

There was someone on the old forum that hooked an old locomotive generator up to cultivator and used a power pole for hitch. Pulled it with the cultivator out of the ground.

That GreenLightning company is making the same nitrogen as seen in Shmiffys video link. A vessel with water passing between a high voltage charge. Not high density nitrogen per gallon but nitrogen that should be cheap and easy.
Waiting for the government grant to come out to do this at home and save the planet. The government grants for making biodiesel on the farm and saving the planet are a little slow coming so hopefully ones to make nitrogen get pushed through quicker.
