Today, that same passion for the water and the land drives HEMPY'S to continually create hemp essentials that are relevant to an active outdoor lifestyle. We are inspired by simple activities that make life so much fun: surfing, snowboarding, camping, hiking, farming, eating healthy, family, our community, music and so much more. As we grow as a company, so we grow as people, finding greater connections between our passions, our friends and the way we choose to live our lives.

Hemp Based Batteries Could Change The Way We Store Energy Forever

"As hemp makes a comeback in the U.S. after a decades-long ban on its cultivation, scientists are reporting that fibers from the plant can pack as much energy and power as graphene, long-touted as the model material for supercapacitors"

Scientists Develop New Line Of Cooking Oil From Hemp
"While standard hemp oil has a nutritional profile that tops other vegetable oils, its high polyunsaturated fat content makes it an unstable oil that turns rancid quickly. It is also unsuitable for frying due to its low smoke point.

But by using selective breeding processes, Graham and his team were able to develop a line of hemp plants that lacked the enzyme responsible for such high levels of polyunsaturated fats. The oil produced by these plants contained high levels of oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat, instead.

Oil from the new line, called “High Oleic Hemp”, was almost 80 percent oleic acid, compared with typical values of less than 10 percent."

World's First Plane Made Out of Hemp Flies High Next Year ("old" article, so flight planned for this year, 2015!)
"Around 75 percent of the plane will be constructed of industrial hemp and the four-seater plane will have a wingspan of 36 feet. In addition to being constructed of hemp, the plane will also be powered by hemp biofuel."

Sup macnzl! Great to see you connecting here ^^ A hearty welcome from the cold north, Finland!

I guess it goes without saying that I support hemp farming and hemp products whole heartedly! I've grown hemp for the past two summers and have gotten it promoted to the local farmers, so very likely we'll see more hemp fields here this summer! ^^

We also have a hemp variety thats grown for its seeds here, Finola, so I'd be interested to hear more about the processing plant! Is it something like 'Do It Yourself' style project / something that small farmers can get/make for a reasonable cost maybe? ^^

 

For establishing new sales channels for your products, accepting cryptocurrencies will open some new doors for you How familiar are you with Bitcoin and/or the cryptocurrencies in general by the way?
