Kimbal Musk's Farm of the Future (Yes, Elon's brother)

- The way we get our food in the United States is completely messed up. When you go to the grocery store, especially in a city, most of the fresh fruits and vegetables you see have been trucked in from somewhere else, losing crucial nutritional value at an environmental cost. This is a huge problem, but Elon Musk’s brother has a solution...in the form of a shipping container.

Alright this whole simulation has gone too far. You're telling me Elon musk has a brother and he's a cowboy. This is beyond me
He is a semi-cowboy
The Matrix is breaking.
Cowboy²
somebody give me the red pill this is too much the matrix cant hold it.
Space Cowboy some day
If only Kimbal Musk knew someone who could set the containers up with solar panel roof systems... oh wait
and if only Elon knew somebody who was experimenting with ideas to grow food on Mars
Mind....Blown
And if only Earth people knew that we are doomed and that they're trying to save the human race.
Exactly
Solar power wouldn't produce enough electricity to run one of these. HVAC alone draws more electricity than solar could provide.
People say the mars colony wont have enough food to sustain itself. I wonder if Elon knows anyone with revolutionary new agricultural methods.
It’s not revolutionary or new it’s just never been done before in shopping containers in the heart of New York.
Nail box so new and revolutionary?
Reusable rockets and Electric Vehicles aren’t a new concept either. It’s the execution that makes it revolutionary, same with these agricultural methods. If they get the cost down by a lot, it’ll be revolutionary.
Some say he invented agriculture ...
Grim The Gnoll
With solar roof solarpanels on the roof this would be very good for both earth and mars
@@oliveroviedo4035 the concept isnt new but theres a reason you see fields everywhere outside of the city instead of shipping containers
It all fits together - SpaceX, efficient tunnel boring, solar panels and electric vehicles, now hydroponic farms: Elements for Mars colonization.
its a long game for the final colonisation of mass watch out
R&D on a grand scale all without the Gov!
interesting tought, never ocurred to me
I too think that before...
But then why did Elon sell flamethrowers lol
imagine being known as someone's brother. feelsbadman
Still better than your brother is a stupid alcoholic...

@@ndamn1938 The question is do you prefer to have a stupid poor brother or a billionaire?
I reckon he doesn’t mind to be honest. Probably appreciates the peace and quiete
Poop di scoop
Yes, for his brother!
yea i was wondering (how would one.... grow some weed in here?)
haha too perfect these might sell super good to the companies in a few years when its legalized in more states and the industry is growing right now might be the train to jumo upon later is too late
Gotta fund the development somehow
Yeah and cocaine and poppy flowers
Small tip: For all of us non Americans watching. What about every time someone mentions "gallon" or "Square feet" you do a pop-up with the number convertet to "liters" or "square meters"? :)
This
Patrick Ramsberg Nah, I just imagine a litteral gallon. Or a foot the shape of a square.
Sorry guys, I don’t know why we don’t use the metric system here in the US. It makes repairing an automobile a pain in the ass, two of every socket and wrench.
Patrick Ramsberg Americans generally know nothing about other countries.Its scary.
Agree..
In Portugal we grow apples and sell to spain without documents then they put certificates and we buy again the apples with high price, we are smart as shiit :)
Chingao!!!
LOOOOOL
Lol same with me we have crocodile and sale outside and become 10 more expensive in inside.
errecappa dude I’m Italian I feel u
My country too!!!
Does kimbal have a South African accent, or a cowboy accent? Or both? 🤔
both I think XD
He's South African.
I know but his dress sense is very different and he doesn’t have a thick accent
Perhaps, like his brother, he went to Pretoria Boys.

That will work for mars, what a coincidence that's Elon's brother
That is the first thing it came to my mind when I watched the video. It could help to develop the proper technology to succeed in mars.
Isn't a coincidence at all
They will need to pump in CO2
A small amount yes. Don't forget people exhale it

Hey I just noticed that Kimbal Musk has all the advanatges over his older brother Elon Musk. Like he was born in September so he is more smarter than his brother, his birthday number is 20 while Elon's birthday number is 28, he's born in the year of a Rat which is the first chinese zodiac, while Elon is born in the year of the Pig which is the last chinese zodiac, his name starts with K which tends to make him more smarter than Elon whose name starts with E, the day of the week he was born in was Wednesday which makes him even more smarter and his communication skills tend to be better than Elon whose born on Monday, and his star sign is a Virgo which tends to be a better star sign that Elon's star sign Cancer. This makes me understand that Maye Musk wants to make everything equal for both of her sons by giving all those advantages to her younger son Kimbal and all the disadvantages to Elon because Elon is the oldest child so he gets all the disadvanatges.

I have been growing indoors for thirty years and the only thing that has really changed is the grow lights, but what a wonderful change it is! Recently I began growing vegetables and have much to learn, but this is the future for much of agriculture. In southern states where sunshine is plentiful and solar power and energy storage is cost effective, these farms will become profitable. For those that can produce niche crops, this will be the path to riches!

Power the farm using Elon Musk's solar panels and Tesla power walls.
HVAC would take more than the amount of power you'd get from panels on the roof, but it would save costs, and you could make a 4 acre farm (mostly a solar farm) and fill the rest with these.
Eddie...well, there are better cells than Powerwall, and solar panels that actually connect to these better cells...I wont bore you.
However i would like to know how many Kw per day is used on 1 pod?
Possible clear roof for mild winter sun???
In the summer you will overproduce electricity from solar panels, you store some in powerwalls or use energy direct from the solarpanels. If you batteries are full and you still getting more power from solar panels, you send the extra energy to the grid and get paid. In Sweden if you sell 20kW and then buy 20 kW you are still winning in economic way.
I wonder if elon musk came up with the idea for the farm but was like I can't be asked *calls brother*
Musk makes batteries and cars. wat?
Why are people JUST NOW talking about this guy?? I didn’t even know there’s TWO of them?!
Possibly; because, Elon's car business just, recently, secured some major milestones
These cultivation technologies have been around for so long. Ask the old time, prohibition cannabis farmers.
Mitchell Maytorena so did computers and ai capable of landing doing calculations fast enough to land rockets, its all about putting pieces togheter to achieving different goals. From cannabis to vegetable farming
Prices on cannabis contra kale is very different buddy, not compareable... 1 big lettuce head cost me 80cents imagine what it's sold for to the store then? I can't even get 0.5 grams of weed for $1
Juuk .5g for 1$ is the price the marijuana cultivator gets these days... and they have to pay there trimmer $100 a lb as well...
Bob Saget I'm a medical cultivator and that is exactly what I get for high grade outdoor when I sell to the dispensary.
Indoor growing has been around yes but not this specific idea. Why so pessimistic?
Word of advice... BURRY them..only the entrance to be seen.. you can keep a contant temperature.. which means you will use less energy to heat them.. after all, all greens can "survive" within a 10-15C .. and regarding the lights, yes.. that will use most of the energy..
hm
making the walls more reflective would help as well, but all the walls looked like a glossy white anyway.
a even better advice: ask Elon to dig a tunnel for this
That's actually a good idea, they should create an underground farm, the ground would act as the insulation, and they could have multiple levels underground - and even use the land above as solar or wind powered source of energy. Stack up the containers close to each other to create a thermal reservoir. Lets hope Kimbal reads this lol.
otherwise? Invent concentrated-graphene-solar power for it. Super powerful, super cheap. This will be done anyhow in the future because it's so damn efficient, so might as well get that crowd-funded now.

@6:15 "how to put solar on the roof?" Err by calling your friend's brother i suppose!
Using solar panels to collect energy to power lights, to then give plants light... Genius.
Solar panels the area of the top of each shipping container probably isn't powerful enough to power the air conditioning
This may be the best comment I've seen in months.
this comment has the same energy as peeled oranges sold on plastic packs
I thought of the same thing but plants in the nature need pesticides and certain climates to grow among other things , these farms are very controlled environments
If they were exposed to the elements you wouldnt be able to grow in the winter - and you'd get mold, drops in temperature, inconsistent sources of light ( especially in an urban center with lots of buildings all around )
Urban farmers have been growing weed for decades in shipping containers. Nothing new here.
EXACTLY!
It's still new because it's nutrient-rich food now, not drugs.
@@Gboneandthebiz cannabis is nutrient rich. Using a pencil to draw a picture no one has ever seen does not make the pencil a new idea, the drawing is new, but that isnt even new here.
@@buddygreen4079 Yeah ok... enjoy your kush salad, pal. This isn't the pencil. Growing plants indoors (or shipping containers) is the art and mass producing food in the inner-city like this is a new and much more beneficial picture. I love weed but I can survive without it, unlike food.
@@Gboneandthebiz people juice and eat the leaves, not the buds. They haven't mass produced anything. All tiny farms. So you agree to my point, the growing is the art. Not the containers. Factory growing, using vertical systems, computer run will help feed a nation. This, not so much. But hey, I've only been a farmer for 20 year, what would I know?
what kind of genes does his family have i need some
Thats PayPal money bro
they had millions from Elons dad who owned an emerald mine in south africa during the peak of apartheid
No, they had millions from zip2 which they founded together from their bedroom in a run-down apartment.
it's not becouse of money, give million dollar to a normal human and he will waste it all on hoes and drugs. They have very good genes, they know how to make money.
Money lmao
By the way this isn't a new idea at all. Bigger indoor farms that function nearly identically were already built. People were well aware of its potential. It's called vertical farming. This is just another attempt at it- hopefully to make it mass market.
I think heating in indoor farms will really not be an issue in the future, considering how much waste heat is produced in lots of different industries. You could have the farm physically connected to a data center and have all the servers heating the plantations.
He reminds me of Elon- Oh. Makes sense...
"I would love to figure out how to put solar on the roof" lol
I know right it seems as simple as like hey just do it but it might not be that simple
I’m like bruh Kimball’s brother? Hello? Literally making roofs out of solar panels ring a bell? Lol!

Instead of shipping containers with uninsulated thin walls- they could grow underground.. they need the insulation that the Earth provides. My Mom used to work in a mineral plant and they used the limestone caves for some storage because it stays 55 degrees Fahrenheit in them all year in Illinois. They could also use a combination of geothermal, solar and wind for energy and get power for off grid.

How does the energy cost for shipping food into locations compare to using these type of setups, per yield?
Brealu constant lighting is reaaaaaally expensive, someday it will cost less than gas but right now, it’s not the case
Compared to lightbulbs, yes very cheap. Compared to the sun on tratitional farms, very expensive.
You guys are correct but I would like to see how it compares. Hard numbers.
Keep in mind more goes into how we get food now than shipping. In terms of energy there's packaging and farming equipment. If you want to go even lower, think about the resources needed to make the farming equipment (of course, this method requires resources as well). Not to mention opportunity cost (giving up the next best option) of the land. What could we do with the extra space if we replaced some farms with this method? How much money could be saved from government subsidies which protect farmers financially if they lose crops? Now they can precisely control the conditions so environmental factors would have less of an impact. Not to mention that (I assume) farmers don't really use the land outside of the growing season, inherently making it more expensive to operate since they still need to pay taxes on land they aren't using.
The heating in winter must use enormous amounts of energy

Cool. But you're not tricking me. They probably paid you $5 for this testimonial. 🤔
I love that they can take a large area of land and grow the same amount of produce in a fairly small volume of space. Expanding on this idea, these 40 foot containers are designed to be stacked quite high as well, taking further advantage of vertical space. This solves a massive problem that comes with a growing population and depending on how plants react to growing conditions in low/zero G this could even be taken to space. If I wasn't renting I'd have something like this in my back yard, providing there were enough solar panels to negate the electrical consumption.

That's all you got from Kimbal?
Imagine using solar panels to harness the suns power to power electric lights to nourish a plant lol.
Then your turning the ongoing cost of electricity, into a huge one time infrastructure cost of solar pv system. Also increased land cost as the top of the container isnt going to provide enough area to put enough panels on it to provide enough panels..
Using lights is more space efficient as you can grow the plants vertically rather than in a big open field.
Imagine being a boomer
I think a great start would b restaurants having their own pod to grow the fresh produce
Vertical farming + hydroponic farming is the future. Nice work Kimbal!

Just because she's fat, doesn't mean she doesn't eat healthy. Also, just because she eats healthy, doesn't mean she can't be fat. One word. Over-eating.
@@Ratrix beeing fat means most of the time eating unhealthy. Eating to much of things which are healthy (if you eat the right amount of them) is still unhealthy. its all about how much of what. And if the what is right but the how much is wrong then you arent eating healthy
Maybe she had an accident and was immobile or had a life threatening illness.. we don't know. Let's have some compassion yo.

Hey I just noticed that Kimbal Musk has all the advanatges over his older brother Elon Musk. Like he was born in September so he is more smarter than his brother, his birthday number is 20 while Elon's birthday number is 28, he's born in the year of a Rat which is the first chinese zodiac, while Elon is born in the year of the Pig which is the last chinese zodiac, his name starts with K which tends to make him more smarter than Elon whose name starts with E, the day of the week he was born in was Wednesday which makes him even more smarter and his communication skills tend to be better than Elon whose born on Monday, and his star sign is a Virgo which tends to be a better star sign that Elon's star sign Cancer. This makes me understand that Maye Musk wants to make everything equal for both of her sons by giving all those advantages to her younger son Kimbal and all the disadvantages to Elon because Elon is the oldest child so he gets all the disadvanatges....
6:19 "I would love to put solar on top this containers"... well, I kinda know this guy...
Earth greenhouses, provide their own heat from the Earth at around 57 degrees, and can grow year-round
Russia has some two billions of free agricultural land which is soon recaptured by bushes and trees and we have a lot of oil and gas and geothermal heat to heat greenhouses so that we could feed the whole US for hundreds of years at a discount price but some weird people are pushing this whole non-soil, no-till, vertical indoor farming topic which is disgusting...
Niem Fpmak - Nied Fpmak did you just hear the reason they are doing this is because when it is shipped across country it loses nutrients? Imagine across the world dude. Nobody would buy it.
I would be a very proud momma. These boys are amazingly gifted. ❤️

oh yes i liked those animations those are every helpful
They make a video featuring Kimbal Musk right after posting a video called "Shut Up About Your Tesla"
As a research agronomist, I can say one thing, energy in, energy out…. Use greenhouses with supplemental light and reduce electric consumption by 75%. This idea only produces artificial food stuffs with low nutritional value and hi net cost of production.
Where do they get the nutrients they give to the plants from though?
And not to mention how the energy needed for the farms is being produced.
Imo roof gardens with a permaculture aspect are a way better solution. Real soil and a system that doesn't need electricity and benefits from natural circles.
Growing plants all year round in a city is not possible. Especialy in a place like new york.
tyler saulez And what's with greenhouses? ^^ Definitely possible. Besides, that's not a city problem with plants not growing in every season.
Charge it from your Tesla loaded from free Supercharger
What a great idea. Think about the following to solve the energy problem: 1. Put the container close to heating equipment. Reuse the backcoming heat from water heating to get the right temperature within your containers. 2. Use recuperators to get energy. 3. Use tiny water wheels to collect energy from the flow of the water nearby the sinks. And: Do not stop doing experiments. Did you already include a fish farm nearby for a closed circle?
nuclear power - NUCLEAR POWER IS THE ANSWER!!! ONE of those shipping containers could be a molten salt reactor running predominantly on thorium or the waste from other reactors, reducing the waste to a HUNDREDTH of its prior volume (liters of waste material go in, mililiters come out) and a THOUSANDTH of its prior quarantine period (300 years instead of 300,000 years). If you keep the exterior surfaces of the reactor container jacketed in water, it'll absorb ALL of the hard ionizing radiation and turn it into dissociated hydrogen, dissociated oxygen, and heat. You can store the hydrogen for use as an internal combustion fuel (It's explosive? No shit, that's why it's a candidate for internal combustion) and release the oxygen into the atmosphere, then use the waste heat to warm the farm pods. This could be all its own self sustaining little structure.
Stonehawk build one
Sure nuclear power is great but it's still so expensive.
Self contained computer on chip=check, Highly efficient LED lighting=Check, Safe efficient power=derailed by Richard Nixon by 50 years, Carbon nanotube reinforced concrete = still waiting. We are a little closer I guess?
Thorium Nuclear power is definitely the future. especially for Mars.
I like the way the last lady scratched her head when she said it's not the answer to feeding a city of 8 million 🧐😂😂 it's the ideal solution, just needs a battery bank and solar setup and it will be paid back in a reasonable amount of time, and would only need to tap into the grid when solar power isn't enough.

surely some of the power costs are offset by savings on fuel and transportation compared to the old method.
Is this how they'll grow food on Mars.?? 🤔
No mate im out , 1 brother wants to invade our minds and space , the other brother wants to invade our food . No . Something is going on .
this is next level ! can u imagine driving through the country side and seeing an acre of storage containers, as long as they make it look pretty i guess
While the intentions of this farm may be good, the results aren’t;
-Mineral hydroponics require the mining of far off minerals and pretro-chemical based fertilizer, that isn’t complete or sustainable as it gets flushed after use... They lack trace elements, and beneficial bacteria and fungi that are found in the earth, so are probably less nutritious than even far off imported food.
-The spectrum of indoor lights like those LED’s are also suspect. Plants likely do use other spectrums for full healthy growth.
The answer is local organic mineralized compost based farming enhancing soil biology and storing carbon, and passive solar greenhouses to grow all year in cold climates... Also, aquaponics is far superior in every way to hydroponics for feeding plants.
Technology can be an asset in certain fields like electric cars, but is a liability in others...
Aquaponics is great. In addition to that I believe there's things like worm and black soldier fly larva farms to feed the fish, which are grown from plant waste. It becomes a really nice cycle with minimal external input. The main limiting factor that I keep running into when researching these kinds of solutions is the energy requirements, most notably the storage of energy. From the studies I've seen, solar can produce more energy than is needed on the grids during peak production hours, but peak usage happens when the sun isn't shining. The only solutions I can think of for that is using the excess energy to create batteries or hydrogen for later use, which is only about 80% efficient I think. Anywho, the whole topic is interesting and I'm looking forward to learning about how we handle the issues we face going forward.
For a moment I thought it was a Vox video.
From what the internet has taught me... Geothermal will help maintain a constant temperature, so sink one below grade and stack one above, throw some solar panels on top of that and grow away. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for investigating nutrient loss in our food!
Matthew Davis She never even mentioned how much nutrients they lose. If the nutritional loss was signifigant then Im sure theyd brag about how local food has 50% or 80% more nutrients then importes but they dont. This leads me to believe the nutrient loss is not signifigant.
Anderson88G22 sure. I guess it's depends on how you define significant. Even a 20% nutrient increase is meaningful, especially for people in poverty, who are in food swamps/deserts. I'm also concerned about nutrients lost because they aren't using soil. I'd love to see more research on those indoor farms. That style removes many pollutant issues, primarily fertilizer runoff.
Anderson88G22 because it’s not, thank you for thinking.

That is a great vision! Trucks wouldn't drive so far if they were growing the food enroute. The quality would be much higher too! This may circumvent the whole grocery system entirely. You could have fresh produce delivered to your door! This could be the Amazon of produce! You could even grow small fruit trees in there!
One possible solution (although isn't renewable energy) is to hook up the shipping container outlet to the battery of the truck that is transporting it (while the engine is on, of course). If you have a few more storage batteries onboard the crate to feed off the truck's engine, then you might have enough energy to grow food year round! You could also retrofit the truck's heating system to also heat the greenhouse!
Sometimes the next environmental step forwards involves being such a small step that you overlap your previous steps. Non-renewable energy, used efficiently, can often meet our needs better than solely renewable or inefficient use of non-renewables, respectively.
Poppies?
So how much is a shipping container...?
Room for improvement, ha? I got one.
Just paint those shipping containers in black colour.
Will slightly reduce heating cost...

Solution, fresh frozen veggies have been proven to have more nutrients than "fresh" veggies.
got to say,his speech capability is better than his brother
Elon is so awkward and cute
Elon doesn't have autism...
Elon is super nerdy and socially awkward his brother probably a bit less
elon has 200iq. his mouth cant keep up with his brain.
I think that it’s scientifically proven that genius people are more likely to stutter because it’s hard for them to put the incredibly complexe picture they have in their minds in to words
Why won't they have big warehouses where in each one, they grow one plant, it'll require the same temperature, humidity, light, etc and that'll lower the cost per plant. Look at the big marijuana farms for example, the very efficient ones grow the plants in a warehouse where it's all one big room. Now imagine incorporating that water dripping efficiency into it as well to circulate it, and now you're in the green. Pun intended.
Max I think warehouses are too tall and would require more infrastructure to make it possible for workers to maintain the greens. If you're going to go big, it might as well be a greenhouse that way you save money on lighting and heating/air conditioning. Right now, the market still allows cannabis growers to still profit in those warehouse conditions, but when prohibition ends nationwide, most of it will be grown outdoors or in a greenhouse
Heyo! It's me Sam representing California. Don't worry about taking our spinach, we have plenty, and I promise not to take the nutrients out.

If the food is frozen the nutrients will last a long time. So NEVER buy fresh because it's worse than frozen.
Wow! It seems to me that the Musk family is heavily contributing to make AMERICA great again. Kudos to you all! GOD Bless America!
*"The world doesn't nees engineers, it needs farmers."
Or both!
this type of farming kinda requires engineering no?
The thing with food is that people can't not have food everyday. Take account the decreasing farmers around the world. Few years from now, we might face food shortage due to the negative view of young generations on working as a farmer. Although the production are inconsistent due to various factors, it is no doubt that raw food business can benefit financially on both entrepreneur and the respective country, in the world situation we are in.

I swear the Musk family is teaming up to rule the world.
love this concept and hope it keeps developing! only fuss is one i have in general when innovative ways are introduced, it seems like those involved are quick to knock it down. take for example the woman the interviewer spoke to, she immediately was like yes it's cool, but whatever, whatever, and to me, that's dismissing the idea. like saying okay that's cool, but since it's not good enough we aren't even going to mess with it. i think this happens a lot with new ideas and the immediate negativity of new ideas is depressing. yay for rambling!
that blonde woman was kinda the worst thing ever
FFS, i was just thinking the same. When she speaks her hole face has to move with it...
Why people have to be so judgemental ? All she did was talk .
why not use his Brothers solar Panels do he and Elon dont get along?
They get along fine, Kimbal is a board member on SpaceX and Tesla
Because you would need much more efficient solar panels and battery packs to make an impacting difference. Tesla has good batteries but the panels would need to fit the surface area of like 10 containers to power 1 container of plant lighting.
@@Gboneandthebiz You need a better system than HVAC,
I make veggie compost and trust me when I say that if you don't think compost is a resource then water will never work that well. You can use a shipping container to recycle soil. And you can do that every year. Maybe cut some holes in those containers and put thick glass windows in. An outdoor farm like mine uses 98% rainwater. Food for thought. Literally.
