"My hydroponic system uses a very small amount of water," Bieber explained.
It functions on compressed air, forcing water and nutrients into the roots while being oxygenated. Then, after about 15 minutes, 90 percent of the oxygen is put back into the water so it can be used over and over again.
"By oxygenating the roots, super oxygenating the roots while feeding the plants, it makes plants grow like they're on steroids," Bieber said. Bieber said it uses less than 5 amps of electricity. It can run on a solar panel and can grow any plant without soil. Bieber said he had a Japanese Maple that grew 24 inches in 236 days using just 10 gallons of water.
"I've never seen anyone that has a product that I literally say will change the world," Jeff Burkholder of NMV Marketing Firm said.
Bieber, an Air Force veteran who has served in Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm, said his military travels made an impression on him.
He came up with the idea for the Hydropot seven years ago. But it doesn't stop there. He also runs a nonprofit called "Grow Anything" and hopes to use proceeds from the Hydropot to build a larger farming unit, using the same technology.
"The next obvious leap from that is actually growing food in impoverished areas that can't grow food because water is scarce and becoming more and more scarce," Bieber said.
It's an idea that has forced Bieber to make numerous sacrifices. He has put in $250,000, but he is out of money and needs more for manufacturing. So, he's turned to a crowdfunding site called "Jump Start City."
"About a thousand times I felt like giving up, but I'm passionate about it," Bieber said. "I know it works."
