Cow Brush
Delaval’s giant cow brush makes for some happy bovines. When touched, the brush rotates at a cow-friendly pace that is not unlike something you’d see at the car wash. Delaval says that the grooming improves the cows’ circulation, while keeping them calm and busy–who knew that cows could get bored? Cows that get to hang out with the robo-groomer also eat better and give more milk, according to the company. The brushes come in swinging, rotating, and stationary models, and one brush is sufficient for 50-60 head of cattle. Delaval, based in Sweden, also creates products that milk buffalo, scoop manure, and keep cows cool. They’ve even got some hygienic milking outfits to keep you in style while you work.

Nifty stuff. Its nice to see how modern tech is making its way into the different fields such as agriculture. (no pun intended)
14 : watermill is just a de-humidifier.. nothing special been around for YEARS... got one in my basement i use every spring to help dry up after rain & flood season. Can create probably a gallon of water...
LOL at the donkey wagon....The Plant sensor, however, seems like a good idea for beginner gardeners.
I didn't understand the Donkey Wagon at all. Why can't you just use the solar panels to charge the cell phone. It's a wagon with a solar panel. Is it lighter than other wagons or anything? It looks like it has nice tires.
openair: Better use a white bedsheet!
Electricity storage: What if the tank explodes? About 30MWatts of compressed air can cause devastating destruction!

They aren't using a tank, they're using an underground aqueduct (or some other natural structure). Since it will be a few hundred (or thousand) feet below the surface, they'd have to build up some extreme pressure to do more than blow a vent hole (maybe Iowa will soon have its own Old Faithful?). I also don't think its going to be a high-pressure system, probably only a few PSI at best.

Agreed. I was raised in the SW desert, so when I visited the east coast the concept of de-humidifying something was completely foerign to me, but yeah, they've been around forever.
I am currently working on making a virtuel hortibot simulator, using MS Robotic Developer Studio
