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
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
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.
"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.
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!

I dont use celcius
And i use US plugs
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.
Will you make more videos with solar panels?
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...
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!
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
10/10 meme editing, seriously though good editing
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 TH-cam, 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.
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.
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.
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?
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

that moment when a heat sink is more expensive than the peltier module lol
truly a bruh moment
@@daRkabronxxx bRuH
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'm running 3 alternators on my truck #1 for the truck itself #2 for the stereo sound system #3 for the jumper cables,power inverter and the diy add on ac using peltier cooling
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
You should use peristaltic pump. I guess you dont want to contaminate your drink!
Nice experiment! ;)
lol tasting coke like a fine wine. So great!
I developed a similar controller to control the temperature of ICs between -70 and 180C. i also tried using large heatsinks like yours using heat pipes; I discovered that using this system I could only get down to about -20C on my second stage plate. I'm pretty sure that's because the liquid in the heat pipes has to evaporate; meaning the hot plate gets to a higher temperature, thus the cool plate is at a higher temperature, If you want it to work faster using a standard aluminium heatsink with a couple fans should do the trick.
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.
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.
absolutely brilliant. Thanks for sharing.
This is so briliant.. Loved it!
good project but you have to make new giant machine
7 not bad but still need more
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
Always wanted to try this concept...nice job on this one.
Love your videos as always and your shop organisation is great for projects and tinkering
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 was really interesting to watch! Loved the humorous cuts!
Me 2 lol
U can use ice sticks in pollybag .. that is much easy and effective and cheaper way...
Hey you are the best video based on this concept plz do more whit these modules. And look at great Scott's video on this
Just use Dy Ice cubes instead of water ones. Sublimates and adds a little extra carbonation on its way out... no crunching on them though.
you can store dry ice in a super freezer or in a tank. just have a bottle of liquid Co2 and a staintless tea filter. run the liquid Co2 into the stainless filter and poff dry ice.
Please don't ever swallow dry ice. You do not want your insides to get frosted.
LostName chewing quickly on dry ice is actually fine. Swallowing a small price would hurt going down, and would probably make it hard for you to breath once it hits you stomach because of the CO2 that gets released when it cools down, but it wouldn’t kill you our “frost” your insides, or whatever you’re trying to say.
get a large block of dry ice and put it in a cooler in a freezer. that's the best way to store it without special equipment. however it will still slowly evaporate.
if you're afraid of swallowing it place it in a tea infuser.
I thought I had seen that some supermarkets in the US sell dry ice? Is that a thing or did I make it up.
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 was a developer for the (long before released) doomed kurig kold. Twin peltier and cooling fin arrangement is the same system used in that.
you could mount more fans.. (more Airflow = more Cooling) after all the peltiermodules only do a differential temperature...
Pretty cool video!
now, where is the more polished version of this?
*Bold of you to assume im not going to drink the whole 2L in 2 min.*
this is a good idea alternative for a water cooling radiator
Nice experiment, it is the best way to learn what works and what doesn't.
Gotta get a new coupon code for the CR-10. That one is expired. How do you go about getting one of those codes?
GBCR10J should work. try that and see what happens should get you $397
Run the coke through the water blocks and then back into the coke bottle and add a dispenser to the coke bottle
creativity is strong with this one. subbed. And you are hired to work on my next death Star.
I need part 2 of the Drink Dispenser
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.
Can you please make a slushy machine
Takes a sip
*VERY NICE*
wow 😯
تشکر عالی بود 😊good😃
“Ohhh thats too much thermal paste bro!”
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
Toby Partridge natural selection
Johny Rivers agreed.
you could set the glass on the larger block to pre-chill it and lower the end temps.
Just a thought add another bottle and recycle for s couple minutes and then dispense great video real interesting 🔥👍
I would not want to drink something which has been thru a grotty machined Chinese block of aluminium.
Yet you drink it straight from a grotty blow molded Chinese plastic bottle
You mean from a food-safe plastic container bottled in a local factory to govt health standards.
So then cycle some isopropyl alcohol through it and maybe some bleach if you're that concerned.
You do know you can just clean it before using for food purposes. Even if you didn't, you do know us humans have immune system for that, right?
I would not want to use crappy metal iphones made in china
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
Very cool. Just watched some peltier cpu videos. This was awesome too!
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.
or just put it in the fridge
try putting the damn cooling tower that the heat source is on the bottom. this should give better results.
Great idea bro 👍👍👍👍😍
Love from India 🇮🇳
This is great! Thank you for making it. I have subscribed.
9:46 temperature has dropped for 1°C more xd
that's good idea dude
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
its like a reglar Tapsystem, like in a Restaurant / Bar for Beer... Nice Job mate! :)
Я не знаю есть ли здесь люди с русского ютуба. Автор, если ты читаешь этот комментарий. Ты очень крутой! Очень классная штука! Мне очень понравилось!!!
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.
"Cool" project bro!
7°C/ 45°F is pretty cool
You must try to directly pass the liquid through heat shield this will provide more surface area for cooling or you can also use a radiator for cooling or which is similar to the other heat pipes of cooling on the heating device and pass you coke through that pipe this will definitely give a tempretute of around 4-5 or even lesser
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 :)
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!

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
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
2019????
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. ;)
Hey, good outcome, efficiency is high.
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
You'd get a good bit better result (higher efficiency) if you sandwiched the cooling block between two Peltier devices.
Adding termal insulator on the blue mini tank will help i think. :)
Hey Mate, I suggest you to slower the air pump so that the flow reached much slower to the first peltire chamber
maybe that will lower the Temp more one or 2 degree
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
Umm. Just put it in the fridge not the freezer
Hey man, I really liked your performance in John Wick 2 and the tick!
Since the coke in the bottle was starting above the cooler and the glass, it was creating a syphon. That's why the flow was so fast and you needed that limiter.
Wasted all the CARBONATION!!!
a big ^
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.
Nice job
nice work , thanks
I'm a noob I just put the coke in the fridge
For 300 Watts I can buy so many freezers! The first one on amazon uses on average 13.4 Watts! I can keep it running the whole time and keep all my drinks cold all the time, and stay cheaper...
no freezer uses 13 watts ??? what am I missing here got a link? and remember he consumes 300watts but only for 10 minutes so that in your parlance is like 50watts (when you see something as listed at 13watts that is "per hour" so this uses 300watt hours (would use 300 watts over 1 hours) so about 50 watts hours for the 10 minutes he ran it.
www.amazon.de/dp/B00K8O20WE/ (The first result when searching...)
Calculation for the Freezer
It says 0.322 kWh per 24 Hours.
322W / 24 Hours = 13.4 W on average.
His setup:
300 Watts for about 1/4 hour:
0.3 kW * 0,25 hours = 0.075 kWh
So yes, for one glass his solution is cheaper (power wise) but do you really only want to dring one glass per day?
And you built it yourself right?
uh... it just has to pump the refrigerant.... so it turns on once, then stops.... it's not on continuously. it's known the peltier chips are inefficient but they're handy for specific applications like doing the reverse.... converting heat into electricity.
@mizmera lol... and this guy "built" the peltier chip, heat sink and fan? no.... so what does it mean to build something yourself out of parts someone else already built? a small fridge compressor and you could make one 100x more efficient.
Hi bro, your video is very useful. I have an doubt the heat sink air cooled fan what you have attached on heat side same thing can we attach on cool side?
Love the comedy, so entertaining.
