^^you two suck. Loved the links about synths! Nothing I haven’t found already, but still good to see other people interested in the same thing! Keep it up H.A.D.!

Hate the hack? Fine. Anything can be made better by adding more power, and making it bigger. So, hack-a-dayers, help me improve this enough to feed grain to two horses. Suggestions?

#4 It seems that you can do essentially the same thi9ng. Upgrade the motor to something beefy, maybe 1/8th HP and upsize the parts. Get a timed switch like he did. Figure out how long it needs to run to dispense enough food for your two beasts and set that as the running interval. If no timer is available set it up so your PC in your house sends a signal over cat5e to a relay between the wall AC and teh motor.(you do have AC in teh barn, right?) Am I missing something?

I could have used this when we still had chickens, like, two years ago. :D Then I could make a bigger one for the dogs, and the goats (Mom never had horses).

This site is supposed to be about how you can modify things to suit your needs and bonus points for reusing common items. So on that criteria, it fits on a technical level and a biological level ( feeding the chickies kitchen scraps, they produce delicious eggy-wegs ).

Stop the bitching.

If it was me – and assuming a horse can eat a 5lb bag of grain in one go (Am I overassuming?) I’d asses the current design.

It looks like the grain gets caught between the wires, and is dragged along. That means only the bottom edge is used. Hmm….

What do we do?

Get a long skinny peice of plastic/plexiglass/whatever. Make it do the width is a bit smaller than the whole. Now heat the thing up realllly hot. And twist it. Put one end in something solid, and twist the other. Voila – sweet high-capacity auger thingy. Same idea – new transporter

#1 and #2 – this is not a site that tells you the latest and greatest way to hack into your friend’s computer and steal his porn. it’s a site for various modifications and cool projects people near and far have put together. this link may be a bit strange, but it seems to me that what you’re looking for is a “h4×0r” news group.

grow up.

Although I won’t need anything like this in the near future, it is still cool! Robo-Feeder!!

Whatever anyone says, I thought it was a great idea. Yeah, it’s not a hack, but it is using technology to make life a little easier… and who knows, perhaps reading this will inspire someone else, or make them think of something they haven’t before. Good job!

I own a chicken farm and i have to sy this is very similar to whay we use to feed thousands of chickens, now we have ours loop but that doesnt make sence for you to do. If you flaten the wire it would carry more feed, think archimedes screw.
