Abstract: An air inducer assembly includes a housing having a chamber, an outlet located downstream from the chamber for connection to an inlet of a flush tank, a water inlet and an air inlet in communication with the chamber, and a tube extending into the chamber and toward the outlet. The tube has a passage therethrough extending from the air inlet through the tube to place the air inlet in communication with the outlet, and air is drawn from the air inlet through the tube and into the outlet by a flow of the water past a distal end of the tube. The assembly further includes features such one or more ribs extending from the tube to the wall(s) defining the chamber and spaced around a periphery of the tube and/or the tube having a distal end that extends out of the chamber and into the outlet.

Abstract: An aeroponic growing system and method is disclosed. In a particular embodiment, the system includes at least one vertical column of interconnected growing pots and an overhead support to suspend the vertical column of interconnected growing pots. The system also includes a supply conduit that is in fluid communication with a top of the vertical column of interconnected growing pots and a return conduit in fluid communication with a bottom of the vertical column of interconnected growing pots. In addition, the system includes a reservoir in fluid communication with the supply conduit and the return conduit. A turning mechanism may also be used for rotating the column to achieve uniformity of illumination.
