First Build: Solar-powered cooler

The first build was due today. The class thought it was pretty cool, no pun intended, but there is still a lot of work to do. We let the small module run off of battery power for about 1/2 hour. It lowered the internal temperature from 62 degrees F to 54 degrees F in that time. I guess that is pretty good considering the fact that we need to patch a hole that connects the heat sync exhaust duct and the cold sync exhaust duct! We should have a minimum of an inch of insulation between those two ducts. I must say I think the temperature controller is a great feature to have. It is nice to know the internal temperature at all times. It is also nice that it turns the modules on and off according to your temperature set point.
