introducing the 'heatbomb' * 7
    #3314778 - 11/03/04 12:33 PM (19 years, 2 months ago)

hey shroomerites!

as ive recently had to construct a new inc and disliked a tit (since i simply dont need such a huge thing)
i came about this nice idea for small scale incubator heating and though of sharing it with the shroomerites!

introducing the heatbomb:



the heatbomb itself is a completely maintenance free heating system,
designed for small sized incubators - THE choice for ppl who do not want to worry about
evaporation of water or possible contams breeding in the wet air inside the incubator
if the used to have a fishtank heater in a open water jar or alike.

materials needed:
an aquarium heater
a plastic bottle that u can fit ut heater inside
silicone gel
duct tape
some boiled (distilled/germ free) water


how to assemble the heatbomb:
1.) its up to u to find one heater and a plastic bottle that
takes the heater inside without leaving too much space on the sides.

2.) once u got ur bottle and heater ready, wash off all the paper lables that
might stick on it and give the inside of the bottle a nice hot water wash
since it cant be bad to kill all the germs u may be able to kill.

3.) next, boil some water or take ur distilled water and fill the bottle up to the brim.

4.) now, insert ur heater, it will cause the water inside the bottle to splash over
since the mass of the heater forces it to, but its allright since that way
u dont leave any possible air inside (i, sloppily still did though :wink: )

5.) next, wipe the area around the top of the bottle dry and start to apply
silicone gel to where the heater enters the bottle, just apply a lot of it,
u want to have a good and waterproof seal.

6.) let this sit for a day to allow it to dry fully (silicone takes some time)

7.) now, apply duct tape over the top of the bottle and the heater,
covering the whole silicone seal as an extra 'anti leakage' precaution.

8.) wipe down the heatbomb with rubbing alcohol to sterilize it.

well, taht's it, there u got ut very own heatbomb, ready to use :smile:

the jars pictured were entirely incubated in the heatbombed incubator
and reached full colonisation within 10 days, its straight rye.

sure, it can never ever beat a proper TiT but for ppl who just need small
scale spawn its THE choice since it works like a charm and heats up
ur inc pretty fast :smile:

here some more pics for u, just for kicks:

typical heatbomb setup:


different view of heatbomb setup:


closeup on some heatbomb'd jars:


fully colonised heatbomb'd jars (after 10 days):


i hope some of u find this handy, i sure love it!
and btw, im proud to contribute my first 'tek' :laugh:

Did you happen to notice colonization occuring closer to the heat source or was it even?
In your experience how was the colonization




i indeed get faster colonisation in jars closer to the bomb.
i am happy with it, it serves its purpose well.

hey!

first of all, im glad that some ppl are actually using this tek,
furthermore, archiving good results using it ! :laugh:

concering all the chatter going on about a glass or a pvc bottle,
ill quote anno's statement he gave on that topic.

Quote:

Well...

Glass has a thermal conductivity of ~ 1 W / m K.

PET( Polyethylene terephthalate, the material the plactic bottles here are made of) has a thermal conductivity of ~ 0.3 W / m K.

Taking into account that the wall of a glass bottle is much thicker, the end heating result will be roughly the same.




this tek was also designed to be run from PVC bottles and it works
like a charm, NO NEED for glass bottles to make that clear.
all this glas chatter may have distracted some ppl from actually building
themself a heatbomb, believe me, i use the same pvc bottle i used when i
initially constructed it, and it works supremely well!

edit:  now that i read the tek again it is noted that its only best for a small space, keyword, small.  It does leave the incubator dry though. 




well thats what it was written for,
small, low scale incubation, believe me its the bomb!

just take a look at the provided pics,
thats a small space and low scale incubator,
all jars, regardless of being in the middle of the edge were done within
a couple of days.

<3 heatbomb.

*bump*

the heatbomb needs to be spread among newbies who want to do small scale
incubation since this is what it was designed for.

i had one of those goin last year, but didnt get the silicone, and so it leaked humidity EVERYWHERE! i was too lazy.





thats why i made up the heatbomb, the leakage was a unbearable problem for me aswell.
the heatbomb itself is completely waterproof self contained system.

considering the heat conductivity, doesent it just mean that one will war up slower then the other?
wont they ultimatly reach the same max temp after enuff time has passed?

whats the wattage of that heater?

does your heater have a notice in the manual that says it needs to stay verticle? mine does but im wondering since ive seen no1 else gie a crap about that...

comparted to a TIT, is it realy that different?
seems to me like most of the effect comes from heating the air inside the container as opposed to direct radiation...




as said, this is no replacement to a tit but meant for SMALL SCALE INCUBATION.
it provides adequate incubation temps if you place it between
6 jahrs to each side, but that would be the top number id go with the heatbomb.

a tit will provide equal heat from 5 sides, unlike the heatbomb,
and i just have to keep my heater submerged - inside the bottle
this is the case all the time anyway.




it works awesome, oh thats a 75watt heater btw.

lol the original heabomb design couldnt even be a fire hazard if it WANTED to be one, simple because a good heater turns itself off if it exceeds 40°C or more :smile:

original bomb was used for years, fully maintenance free, and the thread isnt about a TiT but, small scale, heatbomb :smile:

good idea, I might try it!
even though I have 2 tubs for a tub-in-tub incubator, this sounds like it's worth a try:cool:




it meant for small scale, can never beat a TiT

the jars I inoculated failed (spores were too old) but the substrate still seems fine and not smelling funky. So I'm going to re-inoculate with fresh spores and first I'm going to build this heat bomb!




do NOT do this, something could still germinate without you noticing and all of a sudden you got various strains going causing major fuckup.

ill pm you this aswell.

uhm no ?

hits / views on this thread increase all the time, same as with the monotub.

just because something is old it does not mean its no good anymore.

quality stands the tests of time.
