By using three powerful 100W peltier (thermoelectric cooler) modules, with giant heat sinks and water blocks, I was able to chill a glass of Coca Cola all the way down to 7°C in matter of 10 seconds. Oh well, I did have to wait 10 minutes for the water blocks to reach -17.5°C before I was able to do it, but I'm still going to count that as a success!

Have an Nice day from the Nederlands
You should install a computer controlled valve on your output. Add a DS18B20 sensor to control the valve on a raspberry pi zero or arduino, maybe a relay depending on valve voltage... Set it up to pump into the cooler, and once the liquid reaches a certain ambient temp - the valve opens to squirt some out. Once the output liquid temp rises because the "fresh from bottle" liquid is flowing through - stop the valve until that cools to a set temperature... You'll always have cool liquid.
Peltier gotta have to be the most underrated electrical effect ever! Good video thanks!
If they were more efficient, they'd get more attention. They are power hogs.
Not really Peltier-Element
Am not really effizient es ist ok vor sochi project but not for more if you want to build on air conditioner ich will need all in all three or four times Energy as one with compressor

I'd love to see this done over with some thought given to the flow of heat between the various parts of the cooler. Heat pipes function better with the heat source at the bottom, as they work through the evaporation and condensation of the water inside them, and heat rises.
A lot less important but still worth a mention is your fan orientation in other videos. How you have them here is fine, but the orange juice freezer had the fans blowing downwards, essentially working against where the heat "wants" to go.
Love how the video is just "this is what I made, I know it's silly and this already exists, but I had fun with it."
The thumbnail wasn't distasteful either. Thanks!
Not good
Tru Dat
I just saw a fake Chinese heating device advertisement that used clips from this video (I reported that cheap Chinese trash but thought you might want to know you made a good enough video for people to steal it)
Im happy theres people like you
Try to put the flow limiter after the cooling blocks.
A Al-Jahwari good idea!
also, clamp the waterblock to the heatsink as mounting pressure plays an important role in thermal transfer
Lazar Šaronjić not just that put thermal paste between the Peltier and the water block
HE DID HE JUST DIDNT INCLUDE THAT IN THE VIDEO
it has to be before the heat sink if he adds another 10 cm afterthe first one flow will be just right to get the soda cold and fill the glass at a good speed
"a contraption that will keep your drink cold-ish"
Ohhh, you mean a fridge?
Exactly my thought.
You should add a thermal mass to the heat exchanger block to prevent it from heating by the flow too quickly. Big chunk of copper or iron should be fine.
Also, keep in mind that if You leave the liquid inside the block it may be cracked once liquid got frozen.
Slowing down the output even more as well as using copper or metallic piping/tubing could make this thing work really really well. Is worth investigating, I would buy something like that! Good idea

I dont use celcius
And i use US plugs
This video is a rare gem! thx bro!
I think you should try to flip the whole thing upside down so heat will rise up into the cooling system more efficiently and use smaller tubing for the drink. Also a fish tank air pump valve might help dial in the flow rate. Keep on making these videos, they are great work.

Move the flow control contraption to the exit pipe, that flows into the glass, so that the liquid outflow gets compressed thereby allowing the liquid to stay longer in the cooling chamber.
Did this same experiment, based on calcs only. Your assessment of the efficiency was the same conclusion that i came to. Peltier coolers (TEC) are a heavy and expensive hammer to use on this job. Great work...
Fun project
it is 25 amp at 12 volts so on 220 v it is 1.36 amp and for 10 minutes it use a big < .13 amp >
not so expansive for a fun project
May be you should turn the unit upside down for better perfo < heatsink block under > because the heat always go up
Nice experiment, it is the best way to learn what works and what doesn't.
Simon: *Builds giant machine to cool a coke*
Fridges: *Am I a joke to you?*
Well it's like Doc in "Back to the Future III" making ice. With a little effort he could make a Rube Goldberg machine at the same time
isn't a fridge a giant machine to cool a coke as well?
Very creative and entertaining. You should definitely be working for NASA.
that moment when a heat sink is more expensive than the peltier module lol
truly a bruh moment
@@daRkabronxxx bRuH
The idea of choking the fluid was good, even though you should put it at the outlet of fluid instead of at the inlet, that's the reason why thermostats exist and they go in that point of the system. Good job kid.
that's good idea dude
You should grab another bottle, and some more hose, and circulate the coke through the blocks. This should transfer the heat out of the system, and eventually make the coke ice cold. Add a spout to deliver the coke out of the circulatory system. ;)

Will you make more videos with solar panels?
If you put a block of lead between the water block and chip it will hold the cold longer, acts like a flywheel so you don't loose the energy as fast. cool video and i will sub
You should use peristaltic pump. I guess you dont want to contaminate your drink!
Nice experiment! ;)
You should add a big block of metal to "store all the coldness"
From experience I have noticed that heat pipes work better if oriented in the right direction. In this case the heat sinks should be turned upside down
Very cool! Absolutely awesome experiment, lot's of fun to watch. You should flip the entire contraption upside down, since heat rises, it will dissipate into the radiators instead of transferring across the Pelletier's. Yeah, well, commenting 5 years later... Anyway, COOL stuff!!!
You would have got even better results if you made the whole contraption following convection thing- heated heatsinks side up while the freezing coolant fluid waterblocks down
lol tasting coke like a fine wine. So great!
I have a better solution - make the ice cubes out of your favourite soda. Job done :)
WeirdCityCitizen it affects taste
KubiMulti lol just freeze the fucking bottle in the fucking fridge what's wrong in that you loonies?
then you have to wait half an hour for it to reach the right temperate
Flat Soda, sounds tasty.
Ice cubes made of aluminium. Even better and reusable
Love your videos as always and your shop organisation is great for projects and tinkering
u probably dont want the drink to go throught the waterblock or it will become nasty really quick its a pain to clean
Lerbyn i had the same idea, bad trip tbh 😀
nah, just flush it with water/soap, and then water. pretty much standard procedure to flush a waterloop in pc-world, and carworld, so why not in your sodacooler lel
maxpower700 or flush with acid.
Fill it with gasoline and light it up. Then the nasty stuff is gone.
He is flushing with acid and drinking the by product.
Awesomeness Hands Down.. You can make COLD Soda / BEER / ICE TEA / You name it.. It will be COOOOOOLD... Keep up the great work..
those blocks have lead on them an quite alarming rates of it sent water sample passed through it and came bad with really bad results
I'd put the restriction on airflow, risk of ruining carbonation with that narrow passage. You came aaaawfully close to clogging the units with slosh/ice! ...but you did it! Eeexcellent! Also... more pressure on the pelt sandwich! Still... good clean fun!
What if you put a potentiometer on the pump?
That would slow the flow better i think.
You dont do that. Potentiometers are mostly not suited for high currents. You would take a transistor or a mosfet and then controll that with the potentiometer. The mosfet is then controlling the pump
1) Turn around so that heat fins do not send hot air back up to the blue cooler block. 2) Add temperature sensor with simple regulator (Amazon..) to avoid freezing water in the cooling block. 3) Good design and obviously cools very well. Good luck.
*Bold of you to assume im not going to drink the whole 2L in 2 min.*
This guy must have the coldest drinks with all these machines
Yes but if the Coca-cola is flat, I don't care how cold it is.
Coke is gross in general, but any flat soda is just gross. Makes me cringe when I see people drink it - worse if it's *warm*...
*blech!*
@@michrech blech indeed
@@Anonymous-vh6kp did you mean bleach ?
@@MrDawen1997 nah, bleach is good
I like this channel, he just over engineered the idea of a fridge
Why not put a glass on top of the coller module and just add coke slowly. It will give better results and keep it cool also
Why not put the bottle into the freezer for 5--10 mins....
@@VeritaZFFS lol
The heat exchange rate is higher when passed through channels so the overall efficiency is higher in this method.
If only there were some sort of household appliance for this task. Some kind of cold box where we can put things and they will get cold. If only someone could invent such marvelous technology for us to have in our kitchens.
Run the coke through the water blocks and then back into the coke bottle and add a dispenser to the coke bottle
its like a reglar Tapsystem, like in a Restaurant / Bar for Beer... Nice Job mate! :)
now, where is the more polished version of this?
Great work, I’m doing a similar project, this has helped. One suggestion, bleed off some of the air to reallly slow down the flow, and add some sort of mass to the cooler block, that’ll help hold the temperature down when the coke passes through the block.
The air pump was a great idea. A water pump eliminate the carbonation.
noleftturnunstoned it doesn’t matter after a whole day of testing it’s going to be flat anyway
Probably a little late, but you've got the whole assembly upside down. Those heat pipes on the heatsink have a liquid inside that needs to be in contact with the heatsink itself, it boils and rises up the tubes to condense on the walls of the upper tube, transferring it's heat to the copper and dripping back down to be boiled off again. The more heat you can pull off those TEC cells, the more cooling power you'll get out of them. And try modulating the voltage of the pump motor to fine tune the flow of liquid, a trickle would be ideal. Also, adding a peice of aluminum bar stock to the water block bonded with thermal paste will increase the amount of liquid you can flow through it before it warms up, and insulate the outside of that as well to decrease losses. Awesome project, I like the idea of cooling on demand versus cooling the entire volume at once. Kinda like an Insta-Hot, but the opposite.
Should have put the air tube above liquid to keep from decarbinating the coke
...via nucleation?
Not to mention the plastic tubing probably would cause fizzing to occur had this been a fresh bottle of cola.
I agree, better use an air pump to increase the pressure in the bottle and not decrease as in this video.
you could mount more fans.. (more Airflow = more Cooling) after all the peltiermodules only do a differential temperature...
Pretty cool video!
Wasted all the CARBONATION!!!
a big ^
creativity is strong with this one. subbed. And you are hired to work on my next death Star.
use thermoconductive tubing so the frost permeates the whole system, leaching heat at every point along the way.
What is thermoconductive tubing made of?
@@Fstop313
Copper? Or something non-toxic that wont react with soda but still conducts heat well.
Whatever spreads that frost along the whole length of the tube, it could act like a cold-capacitor of sorts.
Even better if the thermoconductive pipe is surrounded by a slightly wider insulating pipe filled with thermal-capacitive fluid/gel.
But i'm sure there are much better ways to do this.
this is a good idea alternative for a water cooling radiator
“Ohhh thats too much thermal paste bro!”
Awesome - this is similar to something I've been wanting to make - my plan is to make a cup with a built in peltier element, with a heat sink as the base. Thanks for the video!
There is already a machine that can cool a can of soda within a minute by using flowing water..
nice guy + nice test = new sub!
Can you build your own 3d printer
Yes!
Look at rztronics
Why would anyone want to do that? It's probably more expensive than buying a DIY kit. Even if you already had all needed tools.
Daunlouded I actually did!
Edit: No kit or anything.
It's not more expensive, just harder to calibrate and get good resolution. I could have built my own 3D printer but I didn't want to spend months screwing around with it trying to get it dialed in. Instead I got a pre-assembled printer last summer and it's been running flawlessly with zero calibration (beyond the auto-calibration it does before each print) or maintenance.
If you're doing it as a hobby, building your own 3D printer can be a great experience, but if you want something that just works, buy one pre-assembled.
This is great! Thank you for making it. I have subscribed.
good project but you have to make new giant machine

Can you please make a slushy machine
Love you're experimental mindset! Thanks for posting this. Hah, especially enjoyed the bottom if the cup view cam at the end! After seeing a few pieltier based cooking projects on RUclips, yours is by far the most minimalist and experimental. There seem to be a handful of people trying interesting cooling alternatives since there's now a cooling/HVAC X-prize compression through 2019-20.
No warning about mains electricity? - those psu would be a death trap exposed terminals.
Bloody dangerous with a non ip rated psu right next to a liquid

I think he has a coke problem haha
Beautiful delicious coke...
chemicalvamp Yucky disgusting bleach sounds more like it.
This is so briliant.. Loved it!
YOU forgot that heat rises and cold sinks so flip it over for a better result
Very nice dude!
try putting the damn cooling tower that the heat source is on the bottom. this should give better results.
Love the comedy, so entertaining.
You'd get a good bit better result (higher efficiency) if you sandwiched the cooling block between two Peltier devices.
excellent work friend, I also want to make a soda dispenser 👍👍
I'm a noob I just put the coke in the fridge
Hey, good outcome, efficiency is high.
build an electric skateboard!

Good job my friend
or u can just freeze coke to make ice but with coke, not water and there will be no water
Ta-da u can just do that
Your project is so cool .It make you cool thaaanks
or just put it in the fridge
Nice i got an idea to create my own air conditioner thanks to your beatiful brain . Maybe you can make a little labyrinth in the watercooler.
Why you didnt Put the heatsinks on bouth sides of that Block?
Peltier-Elements or thermoelectric coolers work by "tranporting" the thermal energy ("heat") from one side to the other. To do so, you put current into them, and one side gets hot (the one with the CPU-Cooler) and the other one gets cold (the side with the waterblock). If you put another heatsink on the water block you actually "waste the cold" as there is more thermal mass to cool and the fan even mores more air through it. So to actually improve cooling, you should insulate the cold part, so that the only medium to get cooled is actually the coke passing through.
Eric Vauwee yeah im not dum of course you put another module in between
Right. Heatsink-peltier-waterblock-peltier-heatsink.
I'd think double/triple stacking cooling blocks on top of each other so the soda passes through the block furthest from the peltier then through the block nearest the peltier will help drop the temperature further without adding extra current demand. It will increase the thermal mass the coke has to warm too which can only be positive! Obviously the initial cool down and recovery time will be slower but it will be a cost effective way of improving the efficiency and dropping the final temperature. You could also insulate the cold side to prevent ambient heating though the effects will most likely not be that great, finally flip the system upside down since heat naturally rises which will have a small effect on making the heat sinks more efficient. 'Cool project' though :)
was thinking this exact thing, big block of metal on the other side of the waterblocks to add a ton of thermal mass :)
Shall idea, on the opposite side could be 2 more peltier devices. 2 on bottom and 2 on top. Just want to suggest that idea.
The pipes shod be made out of coper for better colling 👍
copper pipes would lead to more heat loss to the surrounding air, having a higher thermal conductivity than the plastic tubing.
Very cool. Just watched some peltier cpu videos. This was awesome too!
Or poor some coke in a ice tray and put it in the freezer then you have Coke ice Cubs so know water but cold
