A degree Project help needed!!

19 years ago

HI All

As my final year project of BSc Product design i am designing a building a custom terraium. The basic idea is to design a mini eco system with regulated Humidity, Temperature and lighting. I have to build a working model.

I am after any advice about ways of regulating the parameters above?

I am planning to have a water feature and possibly small fish as well. Does anyone know what the ideal environment would be for plants accuratly. I want to recreat a tropical environment that is aesthetically pleasing and would look great in the customers living room.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please feel free to email me at alexlambert18@hotmail.com

Kind Regards

Alex

Well from the experience I have, I would say for humidity use your water feature and to regulate temp and lighting, experiment with a few different types of bulbs and lighting configurations like say a heat(infared)bulb with flouresant lighting for good bright light. If you combine this with computer fans that can be turned on and off you can achieve control over humidity and temp. Hope it helps
