Subject:      12v Fan for fridge interior
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

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.
