So as an artist and programmer, I am used to building things and solving problems. This channel will be dedicated to the DIY community as I showcase some of my small side projects. Projects: 2016 Jeff's Garden Hydroponics
Rocket Furnace Project
First attempt at a cheap portable rocket furnace design. Proof of concept. Great burn with no smoke, heats up fast and uses only about a half cup of wood pellets per half hour. Spent only about $165 total with most spent on special heat vent pieces. Uses 3", 4" and 6" heat vent materials. 3 6" heat vent end caps, tin shears, and a $7 bag of perilite.
Potential upgrades: Using cast iron pipe as replacement, adding a copper spiral distiller tube to heat water through convection and adding a Perilite, Vermiculite, Portland Cement or Fire Clay cast enclosure to act as a heat mass.

Bell Siphon Build
Переглядів 2,9 тис.8 років тому
How to DIY do it yourself build a bell siphon for your hydroponic or aquaponic garden.
I see a lot of people demonstrating their siphons, and many stop the inflow once the siphon begins. They may very well have timers and such to stop the inflow, but without seeing that in place can leave the viewer feeling a tad shortchanged. I do like the setup though, very clean.
Nice work

thats doesnt show it working correctly.. it should drain WHILE u are continuous having an inflow..if it cycles then it works
The syphon definitely cycles as it drained the system with a continuous inflow. The siphon in that small bucket kicked off every minute and a half like clock work based on water height. The water pump that filled the system ran 24/7 in a timed cycle of 15 minutes on and 5 minutes off. Try it. It was inexpensive and worked well for me.
hi Jeff. just saw this video. i'm interested to know what brand and model of relays you have there. i ask because i understand some relays don't do well with inductive loads like pump motors, esp when they power up and draw a lot of current. Thanks.
