In the video, the vlogger showcases his homemade fridge which also has a small freezer section. He says that you can freeze water to get ice in the latter. In the main section, you can store cold drinks and similar items. He proceeds to explain how he assembled and crafted this mini appliance at home. He first took an empty oil box (the large, cuboid-shaped one made of metal, which many of us may be familiar with). He cuts one side of the box to make the door of the fridge. He soldered hinges to attach it to the box, which would form the refrigerator. To keep the air from outside away, he insulates the box on all sides with thermocol. To make the cooling system for the fridge, he says that he used Peltier Motor.
Next, he gives us a glimpse of a small water pump he attached to the back of the box. It will make the water cold, thanks to the Peltier module, he explains. He is seen spray-painting the box a bright blue on the outside. He claims the fridge can run on 12-volt power supply or batteries. He shows that a water compressor is used to supply water to the attached motor. In the end, he declares that the fridge's interior temperature has reached 16 degrees Celsius after running it for four hours. Watch the full video below:
