Self Sustaining Ecosystem in a Bottle has existed for 40 YEARS.
[quote]This miniature ecosystem has been thriving in an almost completely isolated state for over 40 years. Only once in that time has it been watered.
It grew and multiplied from a single spiderwort plant. Having access to light, it continues to photosynthesize. The water builds up on the inside of the bottle as condensation and then drips back down on the plants in a miniature version of the water cycle.
As leaves die, they fall off and rot at the bottom producing the carbon dioxide and nutrients required for more plants to grow.[/quote]
So that's pretty neat.

That's kinda awesome. I wonder what would happen if you were to introduce insects? It would probably die.

You can actually buy one from a website called thisiswhyimbroke.com. I know once I get my own place I'll get one. The ones they offer are smaller though and don't live as long. It's still really cool though.

This is just proof of how our eco-system works. Regardless, nice stuff.

3 RepliesIt's interesting that carbon dioxide is produced fast enough from the dead leaves. Also shouldn't the water very slowly escape, or are the molecules too big?
