Hallo,
as the title says this well be exiting. I came across the idea over ted. So I planed to build the V3-Version as it is and optimize it later. But I could not hold on me to give it my one twist. Customiced for my needs, so her is the plan:
The main difference are the bamboo containers. I will install this windowfarm in our kitchen, so i like it to look a little bit more pleasend as the pet bottle version.The second difference is the mixing of water and air. I want to put up an almosted closed system, so i thought I’ll try to mix the air and water with a t-piece and two check valves. This idea is simple, maybe so simple, that it was already thought of and didnt work.

4. Problems to solve
1. As i told, i would like to mix the air with a t-piece and two check valves (see sketch above). Solved!
2. The water tube will be inserted to the bottom water container either by:
- vertical: V3 System at the bottom with a bicycle valve or
- horizontal: at the side like this (just at the bottom of the container):
It fits pretty tight. I will see if it leaks.
