also in a incubator that size whats the max amount of eggs would u say would be ok to put in at one time and whats the times of turning the eggs a day and how much do u turn them?
great video im going to attempt to make one myself...but what should the humdity be inside and how do u go about controlling it? also the second thermostat u used would that be avialible at a hardware store? thanks
Yes, you are correct about warm air rising. The concern is that bottom is where the eggs go. And also closer to the water that will be used to control humidity. So it's a trade off. If you have the space at the bottom and can safely keep the fan/thermostat/heater away from the water, great. Otherwise, moving it up and ensuring you have good circulation may be the way to go.
It would have been better to put the fan on top and the thermostat on the botton since physics tells us that the hot air naturally rise up so this way it helps to keep the eggs at the desired temperature.
Yes, you can certainly use a fan when not using a thermostat. The thing to be super careful about when using a dimmer instead of a thermostat is that very small changes in your room temperature will have an impact on the temperature inside your incubator. And as the eggs develop and begin producing their own heat, this will also have an impact. So you you may find that you have to continually adjust the dimmer to get back where you want to be.
can I put a fan when i not use a thermostat, i previously made a incubator without a thermostat i used a dimmer switch on the light bulb and controlled the temperature and used water in a bowl for humidity, so can i add a fan on this kind of a incubator

Great idea! That would work very well.

I recommend using a simple and cheap compass, available at most dollar stores, to draw the inner circles.
