Portable Fridge

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Backpack Picnic Fridge

— March 14, 2008 — Tech
This "Boxcooler" Backpack Fridge by Sebastian Bertram has you all covered for a little snack and relaxation while hiking or doing some outdoors sports. It even comes with picnic dishes! It can be conveniently carried on the back or you can use the cover hinge as a handle if you prefer to carry it by hand. The carabines on the shoulder cushions are designed to be fixed at the headrests inside a car as to ensure an immovable position during the journey.

The portable fridge uses thermoelectric Peltier elements instead of the traditional “freezer batteries” which defrost after a while. Hence, the food inside stays fresh and cool for a longer time. The storage cell can be reloaded inside the car or at home. Specially designed components include a foldable cup, a knife, spoon and fork that are moulded into the tablet surface for space efficiency.
Trend Themes
1. Portable Fridge - Opportunity: Develop lightweight and compact portable fridge technology for outdoor enthusiasts.
2. Backpack Picnic - Opportunity: Create innovative backpacks that integrate features like a fridge and picnic dishes for convenience.
3. Thermoelectric Peltier - Opportunity: Explore the use of thermoelectric Peltier elements in other cooling appliances for improved freshness and energy efficiency.
Industry Implications
1. Outdoor Recreation - Opportunity: Collaborate with outdoor gear manufacturers to incorporate portable fridge technology into camping and hiking equipment.
2. Backpack Manufacturing - Opportunity: Partner with backpack manufacturers to design and produce backpacks with integrated picnic features.
3. Home Appliances - Opportunity: Apply thermoelectric Peltier technology to develop energy-efficient refrigerators and cooling systems for homes.
