Wow, Chip. What sort of engineering degree do you have?....... Whistling

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.

An applied physics course, and lots of time looking at websites and manuals.

The starting point for the design was our local climate. Also, I wanted it to be self-regulating so I wouldn't have to dash out at short intervals to adjust vents, etc.

There's more about it on other threads:

I think drdawg's point is the discussion is about thermostats on milkcan heaters. We all know what you have built Chip and its awesome.

I'm impressed, Chip. I built four greenhouses over a 10 yr. period, but they were not all that complicated. I also built all the benches, again, pretty simple stuff. Then simply purchased fans and heaters.
