Hi Zach,
Hope this finds you in good health and spirits! We have assembled a cubed meter and it is big! Good thing we did not glue it because it won't fit out the door!!!!
We are struggling in how this is going to work. We were kicking over the idea of bringing the cube one afternoon to several different sites and keep an ecoological record of various urban settings. Not clear on the way the added dimensions are to be utilized though, I can see the different levels of temperature readings, and we have a small weather kit that reads temperature and is a simple rain gage as well. But we are struggling in trying to find other applications. If we put it in the pond in Franklin park, that is one possibility, but it is the biotic component of measuring that makes the cube challenging. If you have any suggestions or other insights, that will be greatly appreciated. I am thinking of trying to incoprorate pH measurements but it is in the works.
Give a heads up to others that plumbing supplies mean something different by a one inch diameter than a simple ruler measurement of the pipe diameter! I thought you mentioned someone creating a smaller cube, not sure if that is the way to go, but I am open to ideas. We haven't attached the weather gages yet, I picked up two as a start. Hope to build another cube this coming Thursday. It might be fun to drive around in a van and take the cube out at four different locations around the city. Could be repeated in the Winter, Spring, and maybe the Summer. Thanks!
