I made this because I hate buying ice to put in my coolers

I made this prototype because I don’t like how much ice I have to put into a cooler to keep drinks cold, plus everything gets wet when there is ice inside. I really liked the idea of implementing TECs into a battery powered cooler solution, so I built a proof of concept for my “iceless cooler” to prove that it works. The prototype consisted of an inexpensive soft cooler, parts from a battery powered vacuum, pc water cooling components, and miscellaneous tubes and fittings from around the office. The prototype did work, but I would like to make an improved version with a better cooler and more optimized cooling system in the future.
