How to make a Mini Fridge at Home - DIY

In today's video, we're making a functional mini fridge that can store up to two soda cans.

This fridge works with a Peltier module. One side gets hot, while the other one becomes cold. By placing heatsinks on both sides and isolating the cold side, so that the air can't escape, we can create this functional mini fridge.

As this thing consumes around 60W, it's not really power efficient, and this project has more of an entertaining purpose. But I hope this video inspires you to make something interesting with a Peltier module yourself!
