What is everything you need for an egg incubator?

Can some one tell me a list of things things you need for a chicken incubator.

1. You need a small box (like the big size of an index box) where you can put a 50 watt incandescent bulb (the round yellow bulb), nest for the eggs, power source to plug in your light. The box should have a little window where you can see through it.
2. Well the best thing for you to do is buy one either online or at a local tractor supplies/feed store. but here you go any ways. You Will Need Foam Cooler Pencil Heat Lamp Water Small Dish Sponge AND AN EGG(S) Hook the heat lamp to the foam cooler so it lays just about 8INCHES from the inside bottom. Fill the Small Dish with the water and place it at the bottom of the incubator. Place the sponge in the dish of water to help keep in the moisture. Put and X on one side of the egg with the pencil and an O on the other side of the egg with a pencil ( do this carefully!!! ). Place the egg inside the incubator ( NOT INSIDE THE WATER DISH THOUGH!!!!!!!!! ). Turn on the Heat lamp for 100'F. Turn the egg every 8 hours for 18 days. Then stop turning the egg on day 18 of incubation. Wait 3 more days ( remember to keep the heat lamp on ) And just wait, the chick will hatch and then BAM! you got your self either a future alarm clock or a future breakfest maker ( I mean for eggs NOT FOR MEAT ).
