VIDEO: How to Make a Mini USB Fridge!
To make a real mini USB refrigerator you need a few things that can be very easily found. This device can cool two Cokes at once and the time to froze is a couple of hours. To recharge it you need a phone charger that can provide 2A of current. Simple as that!
We all spend a lot of time on our computers and we like to drink fresh and cold drinks while we do so, but not all of us have a refrigerator in our room because they are either too expensive or we don’t even have room for them in our house.
Mini-fridges can be bought but they are expensive and not worth that kind of money, but when all else fails you can always make one yourself. Why waste time by going to the fridge in the kitchen to get a drink when you could have it right on your desk and have it connected by USB to your computer?
Yes, it is possible to have it charge by USB and be so small that it can only hold a few drinks but just occupy a small space on your desk.
You don’t have to be a world-class engineer to be able to make one, you don’t even have to have been really good at such things like science and physics when you were in school. You just need a couple of things that you can make or buy.
You will need Styrofoam or cardboard to make the outside of the mini-fridge. You just think about how big you would want it to be and then with the help of scissors or a cutter you just cut all the sides of the fridge. Make sure to cut them evenly so that the final product looks good. From here on there are two important parts.
The first one is the inside, the part that will actually transform your box into the fridge. You need a heat sink, Peltier unit and an AC adapter which you can use from other electronics that you have no need for any more or you could go and buy them.
The rest is all décor and you can decorate your fridge exactly as you want. With paint or with different types of tape or cutouts or whatever you like. This might be the best part because since you are making it you can give it whatever style you wish to and you can make it fit in perfectly with the overall design you have going on in your room. The possibilities are countless and you can let your interior design personality completely take over.
So the next time you will be working or playing or doing whatever you like on your computer you can just plug in your USB refrigerator and have cold drinks at arm’s length. No need to get up in the middle of your game or pause your movie or interrupt your train of thought.
