Next I need to get ahold of a resin sealed wooden platform I can bolt the enclosures to, then I can seal it all up. I plan to make the third enclosure (nearest the camera) the planter. That way it will be the last place air gets to, meaning the clover will recieve air with higher concentrations of CO2, which it needs to survive. Hamsters hanging out in that chamber will breathe easy due to close proximity to the oxygen emitting plants, everyone's happy. The alternative was to add another enclosure, pipe oxygen into all four, and let the stagnant air bleed out the seal of the central enclosure, but I didn't like that idea for obvious reasons. This one's tidier and safer overall. Now, where to get grow-LEDs...
are you gonna put the 1st one in a museum of some sort? possibly a hall of progress that all of the enclosures will go into?
ReplyDeleteHaha, I hadn't thought of that. Perhaps I'll EBay it to raise funds for the Earth Rover project?
ReplyDeletethat sounds good. id link up an update link of sorts so followers can bid for it.
ReplyDeleteooh, suggestion. maybe you could make tubes cut at an angle, and connect the two end rooms to the middle. its just a suggestion, because i don't know if that idea is objectivism friendly due to the hamsters being more connected. however, if you make that middle room the plant room, then it would be a great idea, and slightly more objectivism friendly.
ReplyDeleteThat would be bad. The purpose of the current layout is to force the fresh air to traverse the entirety of the interior before exiting. If I connected all of the enclosures in that manner, air would traverse only the shortest route, creating "suffocation zones" where CO2 builds up.
ReplyDeleteah. that sounds fair.
