Running a Refrigerator off the White Wire

They make these and I know they make them a lot smaller. With a on board battery system I think it could work?

I have another thought . The way this type of cooler works it is just a tiny 12 volt DC fan ether blowing on or sucking air off a little aluminum Freon block. One direction makes the cooler hot inside the other direction makes it nice and chilly! I forget for which way the fan needs to blow? Pretty sure its needs to blow air on the block to make it chilly cold inside.

So a little food for thought sounds kewl me here typing it at the moment! If the little aluminum block on the cooler just needs air to be blown on it. Going down the road could be all you need to make this work so to speak? No doubt you will still need the fan.

Now I am kinda curious if'n this works? Would have to read up on them or just get one and play with it lol. My grand father had one years ago if one of us was thirsty we had to take it out a little early as the sodas would be froze. I remember that cooler was very simple. It had no temp control on it really you had cold or hot. All it had was a simple 12 DC fan. That was twenty years ago. They look fancier now?

I looked just don't know what there about now?

You can find 12 volt magneto coils on eBay from mightywonderful. They fit in the space left empty in the magneto box. They also have a regulator for charging batteries. Two of these batteries would have the most storage for the cost I can find. Two in series would give you 12 volts with 24 amps. At 5 pounds a piece I'm going to mount mine in the back rackmount bag.

Here is an alternative if you need a cold drink.

Instead of modifying it to run a 12v fridge, why not get a mini usb fridge instead?

Something like this that already runs on 5v usb. Only fits one can and you would have to convert the 6v white wire to 5v ac but much more doable I would think.

You can also find them on ebay for cheaper. Keep a couple extra cans in your cargo area and have cold drinks as needed.

To boost 6V up to 12V, you can use what is known as a 'charge pump' which is available as an IC, or a voltage doubler circuit that can be constructed out of diodes and capacitors.
You can also use a Peltier junction inside of an insulated box or Igloo container

Water chiller would be a great idea.

We all love a cool drink of water on a long hot and dry ride.

Step outside of the box, and up to a stand-up scooter motor with the built in electric starter. While running the sucker outputs around 70 volts and a few amps.

Sure you'd have to redesign the drive train but you could power the fridge and a small tv. THey set up 12 volt battery charging too for'em.

Refrigerators typically use a lot of power, even very small ones. A voltage doubler would get the output up to 12v, sure, but that power has to come from somewhere. As a consequence, it will about half your amperage.

that would be soo cool.
