I'm getting my hands on an old whiskey barrel and hoping to modify it into a fridge. My plan is to build a square box inside the barrel, and insulate between the box and the sides of the barrel.
I've been lurking around the forums and noticed that a few people have tried using pelteir thermoelectric coolers for various applications.
So I am thinking getting a few pelteir thermoelectric coolerss - getting a large heatsincs from ebay. putting some fans on the heatsinc to get rid of the hot and using this to cool the fridge down.
I have two things that I am not sure about.
1. Am I going to be generating enough heat that the barrel will, say, light on fire.
2. How many/How big a peltier cooler would I need?
If anyone has any thoughts it would be much appreciated.
