I am building a incubator out if a old clothes dryer, it sucks air right under door in front and blows it in the back ,i plan oh tipping it upside and mounting it on legs at angle so whole unit is sloped..30- 45 degree angle
air will then intake near the top and in the back near the bottom,,the back of the drum is full of holes so should difuse the incomeing air...What wouold be the best angle?? i will drive the drum with a small gear reducing dc motor coupled to a timer
i would like to turn the drum 1/4 turn every 15 minutes this will change angle of egg. rotate embryo in shell and pass egg thro any hot-cold spots in drum... im hopeing heat is very uniform in drum with the cross flo of air... 1 guestion....is this too often to turn the eggs.. would like to use this board to run temp and humidity control.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270285035585&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
and be able to run from computer...thought a old vaporizer ducted into heat chamber would work.. mayby too complex..and for the next project.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280472086690&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT...this controler looks easier..Who out there has
built a incubator that runs from computer...what did u use for controller, relays,heat untits ect?? right now im just adding bearings to drum so it rotates freely mounted on its back..and can handle the weight of eggs.. ordered 12 green hatching trays off ebay...will mount these near outer edge of drum...in 2 layers...might be room for 1 or more layers later.. Be my critics...shoot my ideas full of holes....
