    DIY CABINET COOLER INCUBATOR How we did it and TEST RUN Ready Set GO!

    I want to thank Donna Rippy for giving me her old cabinet incubator. It was missing a top but it turns out I have the perfect top for it in the form of an old light table top that the bottom was destroyed. All I have to do is insulate it and it will work perfectly. Got to buy some more foil...

    Makes sense. That follows physic laws. What is the working distance? I know that the details state but the REAL working experience and what is advertized is often different.

    So you reccomend placing the heat source at the top of the bator. Should I use a wall with a gap for air circulation like if have seen in some cabinet bators? To separate/shield the heat source from the eggs.

    I believe this is the right picture. They all look so alike on Ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/9-5mm-x-80mm-Heating-Element-Mould-Cartridge-Heater-AC-110V-300-Watt-/321229849073?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4acaca81f1

    Question: Exactly how did you cut through the coolers? Did you use pilot holes with a drill in the corners? The plastic pieces that I salvaged that are going to be the shelves for the tray's of eggs. I am thinking that I need to drill from the outside in and bolt them in place using silicon...

    I have a question too. I am using an narrow cooler to make a still air incubator. It is one of those electric ones that truckers use. Mostly it will be for quail eggs but I am building it with the capacity to be an emergency incubator that can run on a car battery. I have found these little...

    One further plug for this device. I accidentally shorted mine when I over stripped the wires I was hooking it up with. It is such a tight little machine that a 1/16th of an inch too much stripping can cause a spark jump. BUT the damage seemed to be in the wires and not the thermostat. Changed...

    I may have to test the 100W element this summer when the weather is nice. I could plug it up outside with an extention cord to run tests so if it combusts it won't take the house with it. There can' be Mad Chicken Science without a little Adventure!
