I am planning to build a drinks cooler with individual tubes for each can (8 in total). This is how I was thinking of doing it:
The aluminium tube is just big enough for the can to slide inside. The copper block at the bottom fits snugly inside the tube.
All the TEC examples I've seen on the internet require some kind of temperature control circuit. Would this be necessary for this project?
I have no real experience with electronics, and was wondering what the best way to power these TECs would be. I was also planning to have each tube individually switched to minimise wasted energy. What would be the best way to construct the circuit?
Any input into the best way to achieve this would be appreciated! How effective do you think this cooler would be?
