I'm not real good with coming up with engineering ideas.

Any ideas? Thanks!
I am in the process of building an incubator as well (mainly just mental right now -- no physical building yet). This is my first year breeding, and I got started a little late, so I will have to wait and see if I will even need to build an incubator.

I am planning on building just a small cooler incubator -- probably just big enough for one clutch. Would I need to put a fan in an incubator that size?

So, I was wondering about the mounting as well. The L bracket sounds like a good idea, but where to mount? It seems to me that two fans would work best in a large cooler like the original op's (one on each end?). But what about a small, single clutch cooler? Would it make sense to mount it on the middle of the lid, with the air flow blowing up? Therefore pulling up the hot air and recirculating it down? (Similar to the winter setting on a ceiling fan). Obviously there would need to be a bit of a gap between the fan and the lid.


Thanks for any thoughts!
