Comrades, I was puzzled by a completely new problem for me - an eclector is needed in the field. Tell me how to build it better and what to feed it on. I don't want to invent a bicycle, but I need a gizmo.

I didn't make the eclector myself, so I can't say anything about *optimal designs*, but this site has something like a manufacturing scheme http://www.cultinfo.ru/fulltext/1/001/008/125/564.htm. I hope that helped smile.gif

What are the technical requirements?
The simplest eclector (I used it myself): a funnel for pouring bulk products/liquids, a heat source on top (in my case, an electric light bulb), a container with a lock on the bottom. The frame for this miracle is bent out of a piece of wire. You can put a piece of mesh in the funnel (and in the case of a rough substrate, you can not put it). Все.

The simplest option: a funnel made of cardboard (rolled up like a bag for seeds), a penicillin with a fixing liquid is attached to the bottom with tape, the structure itself can be hung with tape or put in a jar. Alternatively, take a one-and-a-half-liter plastic bottle, cut off the upper part and insert it into the lower one... to the neck, you can attach the penicillin again with tape or a baby pacifier, which is more convenient, since the substrate in it will dry longer than in cardboard.
