Cooler incubator build pics

Need to look up how to set up egg box,seal it up & burp once a week you don't mist eggs.

Nicely done! I have to make one up soon I think so it's cool to see how others do it.

I've seen a video on Youtube on this. My question is: In your experience or knowledge, does it matter if the water in the cooler is sealed or unsealed to create humidity. The reason being is that the guy on Youtube used metal culinary cooking pans unsealed.

Why the water bottles?

your humidity is controlled by your sealed box your eggs are in not the incubator,also the water bottle are to keep the warm as a type of insulation when the cooler is opened so it gets back to the right temps fast.I put up a new youtube vid on it check the link in my signiture.

I've filled a ziplock baggy with water, and held a lighter under it for several minutes, it wont melt, because the water keeps it cool.

- I am assuming the thermostat should keep the heat tape cool enough to prevent from melting the bottles of water.

wat r the water bottles 4?

water bottles, containing water are to just maintain the warmth, have you ever noticed after you make a hot coffee, how long it stays warm

if you just warm the air in the incubator, whenever you open it, you let out all the warmth and then it takes awhile for it to warm back up. With the water bottles, you can open the incubator take a peak and close it back up and the warm water bottles will get your incubator back to that warm temp. fast.

looks just like mine! looks great!

Are you going to put a computer fan or two in it? (thats the only thing missing compared to mine... that and mine has 2 windows and lights.)

To add or interpret.. since others keep asking..
In other words, it stabilizes the temps so there is less fluctuating. hehe
