I was bored

[tc3driver]

I was bored in the hotel room the other night (no night life in Kellogg Idaho), so I was doing some research on making a humidor out of an oak armoire that I have back at the house and was using the calculator on heartfelt's site to estimate the amount of beads that I would need to humidify it. Well the calculator is just an area calculator (LxWXH) requiring you to do the math to figure out the amount of beads necessary.

So I made this. It isn't pretty but it works.

At any rate, doing my part to kill math skills of the 21st century, figured I would share it.

I like what you did, but when making a cooleridor, it would be great to enter the number of quarts and have it calculate the beads. There are numerous sites that will convert quarts to cubic inches and feet.

Your tool would be handy if you were shopping humidors, though, and were curious how many lbs of beads a given cabinet would require.

Ask and you shall receive.

Is that Microsoft compatible?

Very nice. I did that very research on my own recently and guess how many much Beads I bought -- 1.5 lbs. I like math because even when you are drunk or hungover or in a bad mood, it always works.... I like gravity too.

(oh, you need to know WHAT research I did.... 150 Quarts...)

Not really since Internet Explorer doesn't fully follow w3c standards, and I didn't actually put in any of the special code for handling IE...

Past a certain size (free air volume) and frequency of opening, active humidification or an oust fan are very desirable.

For example, I have a large cooler that is full of boxes and jars and gets opened three or four times a year. It has about 4 ounces of kitty litter beads in it.

On the other hand, I have a small counter top display humidor that is opened every few days. It has three angled trays holding about 60 cigars in all. It needs three pounds of beads, an Oust fan, and a Hydra to have a decent recovery rate.

I put some water on my water gel crystals when they look dry. I ruined some $$ cigars 20 years ago and since then I don't GAF as long as the RH is below 65%.
