Each summer resident I would like to grow vegetables and herbs all year round, but our harsh climatic conditions do not allow this dream to come true. People who are actively engaged in vegetable growing and love their job, while living in a private house, they certainly have the opportunity to build and operate a greenhouse with heating.
But of course, this is not a cheap pleasure, and not everyone can afford it.
How to be summer residents living in the city and dealing with their plots only in the spring-autumn season. The answer is simple, you need to always think with your head, and look for a rational solution to this problem.
The author, an avid amateur gardener, decided to invent something new, unknown to the village to simple summer residents, a kind of time machine for plants. The name, of course, sounds loud and unusual, but if you take a closer look and figure it out, then everything is as if not difficult at all.
What kind of a miracle apparatus is this, consider the principle of operation, and the device of this machine. This equipment consists of a simple cardboard box, which is glued inside with foil or dacron film, for maximum reflection of light and heat.
Also inside are placed lighting devices in the amount of 3 pieces. One lamp plays the role of a heater, because it is ultraviolet, the other two are simple energy-saving, to enrich plants with light.
To adjust the height of the lighting fixtures, the author came up with a tricky mechanism, the fixtures are fixed on two ropes that are attached to a simple paper tube from above, when the tube rotates, the rope wraps around the base and rises, and when it is unwound, it is lowered.
Also, for forced ventilation, the author used 2 coolers from old computers. With the device sorted out, now what is the principle of operation of this invention. This device is intended for intensive plant growth in pre-created comfortable conditions such as increased illumination, stable temperature and forced ventilation.
So now, let us examine in detail how the author created his invention and what he needed for this.
Materials: cardboard box, ultraviolet light bulb, 2 energy-saving lamps, wires, cartridges, switch, 2 coolers, scotch tape, foil or polyester, paper tube.
Instruments: stationery knife, screwdriver, pliers.
And so, first, the author prepares a cardboard box, and the mechanism for raising the lighting fixtures, after making holes in the box for the ropes, and screwing them to the tube.
Further, inside the box, I glued everything with foil for better reflection of the light, and its dispersion.
Starts working with electricity, connects the cartridges to the wires, twists the bulbs, connects the switch.
Then he connects 2 coolers in series, and the connection point is soldered.
Connected to a power source.
And mounted in a box.
That's essentially the whole time machine for plants, nothing complicated. Now, thanks to his installation, the author will be able to grow plants all year round regardless of the weather outside the window.
