Here's a couple pictures of my peltier powered, self-cooling drink coolie. I found the plans for this in the September 2004 issue of Popular Science magazine. I followed the directions exactly except for a little Tim Allen style "more power!" modifications. I used a 60 watt peltier junction and a Thermaltake Volcano 8 CPU cooler.
In this picture you can see the coolie with an ice-cold Pepsi. As you can clearly see on the thermometer, the peltier junction is removing quite a bit of heat. In the background you can see the power supply I use to power the contraption. I'll eventually build a battery pack so its portable (then I can take it to launches!).
We took this picutre after about 45 minutes of operation. The coolie can keep canned beverages cold and delicious almost indefinitely.
