Yes, we are open...

Good Morning,

We are a go for today, with a lot to do and think about. 

Our BeePod received its colony of bees yesterday and that is interesting and fun to watch. We can do that for a bit.

I did get four teeny weeny itsy bits temperature sensors for controlling the temperature of the bowel water bath. We'll need Nike to help with that… I certainly don't know how to fit them into a probe and hook the probe up to  a cerquit bored. I don't even know how to spell it!

I put a crank on the old ridged bowel digester and siliconed in the fittings thru the outer tank wall, so that digester is almost ready to fill. It needs  temp control as well as rigging a gas collection system.

The bountiful bowel needs a new intestine made and fitted with end pieces and a gas collection system. 

I've contacted the local school system to get some of their food waste to fill the digesters and Mike Kelly to get some inoculate slop from his digester. It's time to blow gas!

Fart on!

Greg

Greg,

I've been doing some work with Arduino controllers (open source hardware) and temperature sensors. Here is a link to the Arduino project I did as a supplement heat for my solar horse tank.

This is fancier than what you need, three temperature sensors, two heater controllers and a bubbler controller but it could be adapted for the bowel. I didn't use the waterproof temperature sensors for this project but incased the sensors in a plastic tube with a 22 shell to seal the end. The two sensors stayed dry all winter. It might work for you too.
