Your thoughts on my new homemade incubator?*PICS*

[Alexander]

Hey guys! Well,finally it is completed!All i need is a hygrometer and eggs!

I use 5 fans.4 blow the hot air and 1 sucks the cold air.

This is my digital thermostat with a built in digital thermometer that cost us 70 euros!The thermostat is really good because the differential is only 1 degree or less. It goes from 37.0 C to 38.0 C. I highly recommend this type of thermostat.

This is an egg tray.I have 5 of these that can hold up to 10 large eggs give or take.

ON/OFF and auto turning switches

And now the fun stuff!This is the bottom of the incubator where the magic happens!

That's it!!

Please tell me what you think.

Thank you.

Do both heat source sets switch at the same time or are they temperature response regulated?

5 of the lamps turn on when I turn the bator on and the lamp on the far left and up opens and closes with a switch if that is what you mean.I wa thinking of putting resistance wire instead of lamps but it would not cool off that fast.The temperature would rise over 38 C.

Wow! Looks like many hours went in to this project. I like the fact that everything is highly visible, no guessing what the thermometer is reading and having to peep thru a tiny window at hatching time to see what is happening. Great piece of work! Wish you were just a little closer to my place, I would enlist your help on building me one.... Charlie

I am afraid that I will have to cover it up with some clothing because the sun can see it with all that glass.I have it outside and yesterday it amazed me that in a cold rainy day it maintained its temperature really steady.

Wow! Very impressive

Wish you all the luck and will follow your egg incubation when you get them.

I am on Day 16 of a homemade one (low tech, dimmer switch, light, rocks, water and sponge in a bowl) lol
