Arduino Blog · This DIY experimental reactor harnesses the Birkeland-Eyde process | Arduino BlogNitrogen is critical for farming at scale and without some form of nitrogen to enrich the soil, we couldn’t grow staple crops efficiently enough to feed our large global population. Serious science goes into the production of fertilizers and the Birkeland-Eyde process was one early example. It uses electrical arcs to turn nitrogen in the […]
