Positive pressure greenhouse structures that look rather futuristic. Wind assisted, air supported, ventilated structure. The invention (apparently patented) is to use the pressure provided by the wind for inflating the greenhouse, instead of electric fans. A tower ("scoop") captures the wind. Only a minimal or no frame is necessary. These greenhouses can be quite large: see video below for a half-acre greenhouse. They even built a one-acre greenhouse. This technology is interesting for high-value perennials, such as strawberries. Air flow inside the greenhouse is high, supporting moisture control.
