Subject:12v Fan for fridge interior
From:Neil2
Date:Thu, 8 May 2008 12:18:31 -0700

Hey volks,

I can't seem to find the site/thread in the archives on the bloke who
velcro'ed a battery/fan to the inside of his fridge.  Anyone know: the site
or the thread date?  The one I remember involved this OCD type measuring
inner temp, outer temp, fin temp and who knows what else via a LCD above his
left temple in the driver's seat!  Think it (site) had pics too.

OR

the answer I'm really searching for is: how to find the smallest battery to
power 12v fans (I'm currently testing a 9v NiMH rechargeable), as well as
the smallest effective fan.  RShack sold me a 1.5" muffin fan which seems it
may work but I'd like to learn if anyone has determined the smallest fan
size that achieves acceptable temps.  The next size up is about 3.5" but I'm
sure it draws much more current too AND takes up more space in the tiny
fridge.  I'm considering testing two 6v 'lantern' cells but haven't seen a
recharger for one or a rechargeable cell either.
