about me

I was born in Latvia near Riga, in a rural region. After completing secondary education, I entered the Riga Civil Engineering College, which I graduated as a ventilation and heating technician-engineer. I opened my own company, which deals with heat engineering network and installation of air conditioners. Since 2015, in my free time, I have been growing seedlings in a greenhouse, which created the basis for new innovations.

I never imagined myself to be an inventor and I hardly want to classify myself as such. There are inventors who work in this field and every day introduce innovative solutions to things we are already used to. Most innovations go unnoticed, but sometimes luck strikes, and the inventor gets lucky. Much rarer is the case of a brilliant invention that facilitates the possibilities of human progress and develops the future. Examples include a ship's propeller, a lamp, the Internet, a computer, a mobile phone, and so on. I classify my invention among the rare inventions, because applying it in operation has several significant benefits. First, energy efficiency expenses decrease more than 10 times. These benefits can be compared to the Soviet-era filament bulb versus today's economical LED bulbs. Secondly, the air is filtered through filters, which reduces the risks of plant damage. Thirdly, plants can be not only heated but also cooled. Also, if necessary, the device can be equipped with a humidification and feeding system.

The idea to change something came to my mind in January 2016, when I was once again heating the greenhouse with firewood and realized: "How can this be? I must heat an empty greenhouse for several days until the first sprouts appear''! What kind of energy efficiency can we talk about if the seedlings are sown in one corner, but I heat the entire greenhouse? Another bad idea, in order to reduce heating costs, I fenced off the inside of the greenhouse with a film. The Jotul stove then overheated the air, then did not even heat up. Respectively, I had to stand next to the greenhouse, envy other expensive automated structures and watch the temperature of my greenhouse for days. In 2017, I implemented my idea and installed a seedling growing device in the greenhouse, which pleasantly surprised me for several years in a row. The plants grew well, they developed well under the film and showed the first flowers two weeks earlier than in other greenhouses.
