It's a nice project that suffers the problem that most nice projects suffer from, it probably cost you more to make than had you just gone out and bought one. But you do get the satisfaction of knowing you built it yourself, even though it probably cost two or three times the price of one off the shelf.

I see this valuable in applications where you need absolute custom shapes for retrofitting in awkward spots, I’m thinking of doing something similar to this but for 5-6 drinks and it pulls out like a tip out drawer from say a desk or something. Is it economically better than buying a mini fridge to put next to a desk? Helll no lmao. But sure would be cool as hell. I looked at the parts mentioned and was actually surprised at the low cost of the main components (power supply, cooling modules, thermostat), most of the other stuff is pretty cheap or optional depending what you want to do

Very good. Because the top is transparent, I think an external button to light inside could be a good idea. This way, the person could choose what to pick without open the fridge. Maybe this could be useful in a larger model. Another thing, you made the back door removable, but a cut in the acrylic sidewall would avoid the need to remove the aluminum corners together (sorry for my poor english).

As a father of daughters, I want to thank you for posting this project and your other videos. Slowly we are breaking down the gender barriers that have tried to keep females out of certain professions for millennia. It takes demonstrations such as this to show how stupid it is to try to hold down 50% of the population. Every girl (or boy) who sees this will think “I can do that”. Imagine twice as many smart, capable makers to carry us into the future. You got my subscription.

@cranshawmccaw 5 жыл бұрын

@TheDorianTube 5 жыл бұрын

As long as people like you make a big deal out of things like this, there will always be stereotypes. I just saw someone good with tools and thought the fridge looks cool. You instead decided to focus on whatever was between the legs. That's how you create disparity. Regarding barriers, bullshit. It was debunked so many times that at this point I start to think that you guys either live inside an echo-chamber, where new information is policed/censured, or you're just in denial. Nobody gives a damn nowadays about your sex, beside professional victims profiting out of it. You think I wouldn't buy this from her or hire her just because she's a girl?! Are we in the 40's again? I won't subscribe tho, that's for sure. Not because of sex, but because she put a 'favorite' on this rubbish comment and that says a lot.

That depends on the tips. Obviously, the dude you quoted saying that she almost cut her thumb is salty and can fuck right off... But getting advice from viewers, male or female, isn't a bad thing in the slightest. Like the dude that is above your comment (for me) talking about condensation. She had planned for it and expected it, and had explained her thought process about it to him, which he accepted at that was that. But had she NOT thought of condensation, as no one is perfect and things are missed, he could have possibly provided helpful knowledge. CodysLab is a great example of this... He 's probably one of the smartest people I watch on KZfaq and takes on a plethora of different projects, incredibly interesting stuff. From gardening to mining to chemical experiments. But he is always reading comments and constantly states in many videos "I've taken your guys suggestions and this is what I did" and other such comments. No one is perfect, so reading comments and possibly getting tips is never a bad thing.

Instead of using this many excessive fans, you could just use one 48W peltier module and one heatsink and fan. Would make it sound even less and even ice up during summer too around the peltier.

@Nerdforge 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the tip, but I used two 60W peltier modules and fans to both of them, and it doesn't make a lot of noise. It also ices up, so it's pretty neat.

I'm really not understanding how this would beat the cost of a mini fridge in the long run that has a compressor. You could get a mini fridge and remake it even. This is a project based on insanity. If you were using solar power and you had wattage to burn for free and can deal with the heat effectively then go for it.

@schweens 6 жыл бұрын

Based on your wirings, the fan directions on the big fans looks incorrect. Both fans are supposed to face towards the heat sink so it creates a high air pressure. This high air pressure creates a high temperature that gets heat sinked. Otherwise you're relying solely on the peltier. I bought the same refrigeration module, and noticed this.

@Nerdforge 6 жыл бұрын

Interesting, I'll check that out. Maybe it can perform even better!

@schweens 6 жыл бұрын

oops. sorry i had it reverse. i meant they should be facing away from each other. this creates a low pressure, and cold temperature that is transferred via heat sink into the fridge and dispersed using the smaller fan. and according to this link it goes down up to -5 degrees bit.ly/2klKyye

Now what you can do is buy this special case, which is like almost $1,000 btw, it takes the main part that makes the fridge cold through an insulated tube, and puts it ontop of the CPU. So any of the condistation is trapped inside the tube and only touching the top of the cpu, and makes it safe. Or if you're feeling adventurous just use liquid nitrogen !

@maxslab8774 7 жыл бұрын

While your idea seems cool. It would never work. Since the air inside the fridge contains water vapor, heat from the PC mixing with the cool air from the fridge will condense the water and cause a short circuit. Professional overclockers who use similar liquids to cool avoid this by putting Vaseline on the components. The problem with this though is that its only a temporary solution.

@Nerdforge 6 жыл бұрын

Writing a "heatsink" would be misleading. The module consists of 2 heatsinks, 3 fans, and a peltier module sandwiched in between them. So it's definitely made for cooling. As you would also pay for the peltier module and the fans attached to it, I am not sure I understand why you are so keen on calling the unit a heatsink. It's like buying a lamp with a foot and shade, but insisting on calling it a bulb. The unit wouldn't work well without the heatsinks, but without the peltier element it would be absolutely useless.
