Ok, here is my first stab at try to figure out how I'm gonna do this. Instead of describing everything, I decided to draw it out using sofistimicated engineering software. It is 100% to scale and I
do in fact plan on building it out of cardboard and crayons. Glitter and sparkle are extras, although I'll do that
onlyif I have the time:
Here is an 'real' photo of what I plan on using for the egg boxes and the 'incubator' box.
The 'Incubator' box will have no holes in it and will have the lid snapped on, no holes in that one. The egg boxes will have a few holes in them to allow the moisture into the eggs. I decided to put them in a second, sealed box(the incubator box) to keep moisture from gunking up the heat tape and thermostat. I will open taht lid every couple days to allow gas exchange.
I plan on putting this into one of those stro camping coolers -- basically ripping the idea off of Ryan from Scales
. I saw how his was able to be expanded somewhat, which may come in handy in later years as more and more clutches start coming out.
Any suggestions/hints/leads etc before I start gathering the parts...? The only thing I really need to figure out, I think, is the type of thermostat. Anything would be greatly appreciated, since this is my first stab at it...
