The problem is that you are limited by the thermal conductivity of the pepsi itself. You can only cool it so fast until the outer layers of liquid start to freeze before the heat has a chance to escape from the middle. You should find a way to gently stir it, maybe have it spin very slowly with changing direction.
just an advice to your videos: I'm from germany, so my english is not as good as your, so I can't read your subtitles/ below information as others do. I try to follow your videos as good as I can, but often I have to pause and look back. I would like to see the below informations longer so I can read them through without pausing. I think all foreign countrys will have a advantage from this. Thank you very much, keep going like this, apart from the below information thing. =) THANK YOU !!!!
Lol I like this guy a lot. His character is quirky, smart, and idiotic. All the science and engineering is legitimate. The things he uses his awesome powers for is idiotic. lol keep up the great work man!
You can either mount it between your cpu and a good heatsinc, with thermal compound on both sides, or you can buy a unit consisting of a peltier and heatsinc in one.
Just a little suggestion: Although there's the episode browser on the top of the videos, you should number each individual video for a better overview. Keep up the GREAT work!
I am all for MCUs and Arduinos, but why use one in this build? Its a control circuit simple enough to be realized with a simple voltage comparator + a little extra components.
Peltier CPU coolers have existed for years now. You can buy them online. But be prepared for a hefty energy bill, because those eat several hundred Watts of power to cool the CPU and still need a fan to disperse the heat. So such a cooler is a lot more expensive, requires a powerful PSU, still creates noise and costs a lot to have it running. That's probably the reason they haven't caught on. But they're a great option for overclockers where money and noise isn't really that much of an issue.
I'm still using a Coolit Freezone Elite CPU cooler that is based on peltiers on my i7 2600K overclocked to 4.6Ghz & never surpassed 56c even in a 30c heated room & benchmarking. This with it set to only 40% of full potential power, at full potential it easily drops well below ambient temperatures to the point where I have to worry about condensate build up but the software keeps everything in check perfectly. Best cooler I have ever owned including my custom multi radiator water cooled systems.
I have just discovered you on RUclips! Your videos are excellent and very entertaining. My next effort might be the solder reflow oven. You evidently have a preference for diet "soda" or "Pop".... So I was wondering if you are aware of apartame (artifical sweetener) poisoning. It's extremely toxic. People gain weight from diet soda because it makes them crave carbs. Keep up the great effort and I think that you are a very bright person. Respect from Apache Junction, Arizona.
Also, where do you get your screens to the portable game systems? What screen is best for that system and that system (Amiga 2600 series and PS3 as an example) Also, me and my buddy are thinking of getting a defect ps2, but we cant find anyone, wanna help us find one? We live in Norway, PM for more info. Also, we are thinking about replacing the parts with old pc parts (most of them dont work we think) Is this possible?
Ben wouldn't it of been better to use more peltiers (Pill-tea-A) to get a higher QMax use less voltage and be more green? :D From what I have experienced with peltiers the more you use the more effiecent they get, I used 8 132w Qmax peltiers for a watter chiller in my rig, so I'm speaking from experience.
easiest can cooler is a bowl of ice and salt. stuff a can in the salted ice and 2 minutes later the drink is ice cold. the salt causes the ice to drop its temperature far below freezing which cools the drink quickly. also, its practically free since everyone has a bowl, ice, and salt in their house.
An Arduino is way overkill for this. It only needs a simple thermistor controlled voltage regulator circuit. Ben also demonstrated the perfect way to destroy a Peltier. They have to be kept DRY. They should be insulated and sealed around the edges to keep out condensation.
you can build that OR you can use water, ice cubes, and salt, put them all together in a bowl and mix them, then put the can of soda in the cold water and stir it a couple of times, it will get cold in matter of seconds, more eco-friendly, and without doing all that stuff ;D
ben you lost a lot of energy in this buil shoulda used something more directional so no coldness was let out through the sides. Also salt water can cool a can in 1 minute becasue it can go as low as -12 F without freezing shoulda tried that somewhere
Stir is a verb, to stir. It is not an ingredient. It is when you use an item like a spoon and move it around in a mixture. In this case stirring it would be to use a spoon to mix the salt with the ice :)
Uhm, why did you show the finger to me at the end of your video (just kidding, but use another finger while counting ;) ) How many Celcius will the drink be? from for example 20 C to what? 5 C?
putting my soda in the freezer for 15min does the same thing! and didnt cost me hours and hours of contructing one of these. and money in materials or electricity to make it.
yep, but if u use ice and salt you can get the can cooler quicker, kinda defeats the purpose doesn't it, why don't you build something useful for a change!
My fingers work even better then that $100 piece of junk. There are only 3 settings hot, nice, cold. Would you not say that is better then the lazier temp thing.
I used to not like Ben, but he is pretty cool since i've been watching over the years. I like these older videos because Ben and his crew seem more relaxed and natural in these earlier shows. Now he seems overworked and stressed out lol. poor Ben
I need to use my 240 rad outside tower. Im going to put the petier with noctua heatsink on hotside and cold side ontop of the res then onlt to gpu phanteks cooler block in tower then and back out to loop. Worried if condensation getting inside pc tower but doubt it could. But ill watch but with all outside i doubt it could. If i see any sign ill unplug the pelteir use just radiators alone. Only as have these sitting thought put onto res. Square cheap one. Spare cpu cooler to. Wide channels could go through that with peltier before gpu and back. But unsure if 300lmin is ok. Cheapo pump. Have sc600 but maybe too much.
Ben didn't share with us what power supply he used. At the end, I kinda saw it hooked up to the 24 pin connector of a SFX PSU. Although which connections did he use?
Another way to do this is to build something similar to the cylinder-shaped fan blade system in a tower fan, but have it capable of wrapping around the can with only a little bit of space on the sides, and then on the bottom have a platform for the can to sit on that can spin with ball bearings so that when the lid is closed, it can grab the top of the can to keep it from spinning yet still allow the fan blades to rotate around it. The lid and can platform will have slits for air intake and the blades will push the air outward...and from there all you need to make it use no electricity at all is a crank that spins the fan blades at a high ratio, perhaps a 8:1 or 10:1 ratio from the crank.
did you ask a question did he answer you prob not..nice guy but rude pple ask for his advise and dont even rply how rude !!! as viewers i think we have a right to an answer and for the videos he makes he should answer questions,. true ?? its the viewers that drive you tube

Can cooler to take to a park or when ridding bike cool AWESOME idea Ben...
The ignoring by a sister or family member when you explain how something works is too real! Nice project
I love watching these even though i know i can never build any of this
Hey did he just showed me middle finger saying the word stronger? xD
Great show Ben i love it :)
If you really want to cool a pop quickly get a bowl put ice water in it with a good amount of salt and stir. In no time it's nice and frosty.
you say it doubles as a room heater but if its heating on one side and cooling on the other wouldnt that technically make it an equilibrium
Nothing is perfect and you are using electricity for the Peltier effect. The byproduct is more heat.
He said why in the video. It's expensive!
why do I think that gluing the aluminium together would break even heat transfer
I think Alyson just wanted lunch
15 MINUTES?!
Might as well put a can in ice, add salt and stir. Due to thermodynamics the can cools in about 2 Minutes!

Would vibrating it, like ultrasound, work?
@@BrainSeepsOut that doesn't sound like a great match for a carbonated beverage
this is an irrelevent problem in sweden (is always cold)
7:59 "microprocessor such as the arduino"
noooooo

I love the fact he pulls out a 'Luke Warm' Pepsi......from the Microwave. XD
if only i was a skilled engineer i'd rock like Ben...damn!
I am all for MCUs and Arduinos, but why use one in this build? Its a control circuit simple enough to be realized with a simple voltage comparator + a little extra components.
Yep, a simple electro-mechanical thermostat would've done the trick. Or a cheap electronic temperature controller.
Best show on RUclips, hands down!
This was 15 minutes too long.
Tip: If you put a nice layer of Arctic Silver between the can and the aluminum blocks, it will help get your coke colder faster.
Any chance you could put the cnc files up for us to access/download? I want to do this but will get a local shop to cnc the aluminium can holder bit.
Can i use this in a computer and set the peliter to never get below 0 and start to condense.
And is there any way to get the partis list and pogram ?
Your sister is cool. I mean... Bring her back for another episode!
Sorry to burst your bubble but there's no relation :)
The Ben Heck Show Are you From Wisconsin
straight up Nerd stuff but i'm subscribing because i want to learn some stuff and you're channel is great keep it up.
In Australia, 'Soda' or 'Pop' is called 'Fizzy'.
Just saying.
I built a similar thing a few years ago, but i used a 140w cell and ended up freezing part of my cola... :)

I plan on building a hidden refrigerator inside an old computer case using those

why don't you build a robot that can sort your item for you :)
My fingers work even better then that $100 piece of junk. There are only 3 settings hot, nice, cold. Would you not say that is better then the lazier temp thing.
How long does it take you to freeze water every time you want to cool a can? Hours, when you factor in everything this is quicker and MUCH cheaper.
i want a cold drink. do i;
A) Make a custom built, arduino powered, peliter enabled can cooler,
or,
B) Drop it in the snow outside for five minutes.
Make an Atari flashback2 protable because you wont need games for it that are hard to find and it would be much smaller.
Pls?
15 minutes? Put a thermometer in the can of soda to see how quickly it cools.
Submerging a can in icy cold water is faster.
or you can wet a paper towel and wrap it around the can. toss it in the freezer and in 15 min it is starting to freeze.
Ben's sister reminds me of all my friends... -_- -plays Angry Birds while i try to explain to them how to fix their PC-
you have came to my rescue!!! i could not find a 12 volt 3 amp regulator any were!!! thanks to element14 i have one!!
The peltier is probably overkill... The heat sinks and fans would be enough...
could u integrate a cellphone into an old rotary phone so that the rotary phone is usable but as a cellphone?
I used to not like Ben, but he is pretty cool since i've been watching over the years. I like these older videos because Ben and his crew seem more relaxed and natural in these earlier shows. Now he seems overworked and stressed out lol. poor Ben

I built a peltier fridge once...but this looks way cooler!
Ben didn't share with us what power supply he used. At the end, I kinda saw it hooked up to the 24 pin connector of a SFX PSU. Although which connections did he use?
ummm, who runs out of Arctic Silver?
Just kidding, awesome video
And now we can buy a spinning version. It's called the Frost Boss. I still like Ben's better.

what did you use to power the can cooler in the beginning? What is the name ov that thing?
@papuchongo Well you should be subbed here because it has new shows of The Ben Heck Show.
did you ask a question did he answer you prob not..nice guy but rude pple ask for his advise and dont even rply how rude !!! as viewers i think we have a right to an answer and for the videos he makes he should answer questions,. true ?? its the viewers that drive you tube
You can. You can use it to cool a heatsink, radiators, or run tubes along the cooler.
U forgot about the lights and how much power it took to charge the camera and heating
Only episode You are not shaved ? :) Are you using some kind of automatic shaver? :P
wow, 12c per kilowattt? are you kiddin me? here in germany a kilowatt costs 0,28€!
Just an idea but it would be great if you had something like references with parts lists with prices for projects like this one.
@MrJa1l If you want to know about that watch Is it a good idea to microwave this!
Can we get the code somewhere? Because i want to build this but is dont have the programming skills to make something like this
Ya man i am really intersted in such things but i am a noob cuz i am just 13
Love this show but I'm not going to arby's no matter how many times you say it
Should get a steadycam or put the camera on a stand, tall table or something.
Effervescent Caramel Colored Sugar Fluid.
can peltier be used for cooling cpus on a pc ?
LOL you sir need a lathe and a real mill that surface finish was horrible
gotta say hooked on watching these (i might not be able to do this but i love watching random videos like these!!)
I saw the bird at 17:38! One second sooner, but...also 3 months later :-S
arduino is the best way to get into micro controlling! Thank you Italia^^
Remember the CONDENSATION. Do you really want WATER in your electronics?
You can invert the positive and negative for heating. Double functions!
just dont place the can in the microwave or else....boom!
You can, but where's the fun in that? If you want to do that, fine!
i want to see you build a a r4 card for 3ds plz answer back ben heck
out of Arctic Silver? HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY BE OUT OF ARCTIC SILVER?
I'm always putting cans in the microwave, I like seeing the sparks
LOL I just randomly skipped to 15:00 to see the finished product
can i get a price i have 3 peltiers but not the cnc and well yer
Putting shiny pop cans in the Microwave seems like a bad idea...
man she doesn't care about all the tech shit.. she just wants the damn cold coke!
..plus the time you wait for an ice to form in your fridge..
or grab a couple of ice cubes
i have a better solution! it's called ice! I'm on a roll!!!
@KONYEntertainment
Did you find it yet? I want one too lol
so if i put that on my laptops cpu it would keep it cool
Every time I see your face it reminds me of Conan O'Brien
