Marcel is using a box made from 3cm layered plywood desks and insulated by 5cm PIR boards. The internal dimensions of incubator chamber are a=42.5, b=49 cm and c=45.5cm, total volume = 0.095m3. Two peltiers were used for heating and cooling type: TEC1-12709, which has peak power of 138W at 15.2V but rated 90W at 12V. At 12V the peak current is 7.5A at turn on which quickly settles down to 5.6A stable, which is only 67W, both for heating and for cooling per peltier, therefore 134W total heating respectively cooling power.

	This prototype was aiming to function in a same manner as 2.1 mamut measuring therefore the temperature within the incubator chamber, displaying it on the LCD display, allowing for heating and cooling functions set by button interface running software shared in our [https://github.com/foodhackingbase/incubator Github repository]. The power was sourced from a standard [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply_unit_%28computer%29 computer PSU] offering therefore 5 VDC and 12 VDC. For heating the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_cooling peltier element] was used, power estimated to 60 W. The distribution of the heat was carried out by two aluminium [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_sink heat sinks] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_grease thermal paste] which were cooled by standard PCU fans, each mounted on the top of the heat sink.

			Below you can find two different set ups for testing. First, let's say temporary one had a polystyrene box as a chamber, size: a=76cm, b=46 cm and c=46 cm; V= 0.160 816 m3, front of the box covered by think polystyrene insulation and cardboard paper. The heating and cooling unit were attached on the top of the box (in the hole cut and sealed in the polystyrene). Second set up had "cooler box" as a chamber, size: a=55cm, b=30cm and c=29cm. The heating and cooling unit was set in a wooden frame made sealed by "polystyrene like" insulation and silicon positioned on the top of the box with doors opening at a side from bottom up.

	At approximately 20-21°C external temperature, heating the chamber for two hours resulted in 14.25°C increase of temperature from 18.56°C to 32.81°C (12.06°C temperature increase after first hour).
