oh yeah, like I drink expensive voss all the time. Very disapointing I thought she was gonna make a dual panel with water in the middle. I’d love to see that work in Phoenix which has night temps of 90 degrees or more, yeah more heat at night.

In direct sunlight, you can even burn down your house with magnifying glass effect.

Doesn’t that defeat the point of a window? To look outside without being outside?

watch them all fall down
but that is a good idea except you can’t see out from it anymore

Plants use both O2 and CO2 for different processes. Most algae need oxygen to grow. When the DO of the water drops past a certain point, algae starts something akin to anaerobic respiration. This process is what gives some ponds a sulfur smell.
If you want to prevent algae from growing in the bottles, put a little alcohol or bleach in the water too.

Since they are in bottles where air can’t flow is in not very likely that algae will form. Algae also needs nitrates to feed on so it won’t have a food source.

Plants make Co2 + o2. Those windows look really ugly btw!
dankemp218 says:
December 25th, 2009 at 5:00 PM
Wow, what a hideous structure lol. Plus, surely the plants would rot without co2?

I just thought the same:
. so what’s the point of having a window when you cannot see through it clearly?
XD

Well that is a downer
but I’d assume they’re not permanent and you should change them out after a few months. Food coloring would look cool in there too! (Or maybe you could add something in the water like rubbing alcohol to keep algae from growing)
