Aleksandrov, Ya. (2025). New forms for the development of agricultural product silos farms produced in arcology skyscrapers. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 31(1), 225–234
Possibilities for growing, storing cereals and producing products from them to feed the inhabitants of the «arcological» non-scraper were considered. They have been reviewed the silos in tall buildings of this type of “arcological” skyscrapers, as a new opportunity for the development of silo farms. In this connection, various forms of a new type of silos are described: horizontal silos; prefabricated container silos; inclined silos in horseshoe-shaped hollow elements; multifunctional “floor” silos; floor» silos with a height of one, two or three floors or with the height of an entire building. Constructions of the refrigerator-type containers for fruits and vegetables are given. Ways of producing the aqua products are described.
Described/used under invention patents: BG№ 111440А and BG66716B1 – System for individual or combined use of rainwater and hot waste water on each floor of a skyscraper; BG№111651А and BG№66823В1 – Movable refrigerating chamber for positive temperatures; BG№111658А and BG№66742В1 – System for solar heating of a cold room with positive temperatures.
