This mobile thermoelectric refrigerator has been conceptualized as a solution for developing nations where refrigeration is required when transporting foods such as milk. The unit doesn't require too much power and is also capable of operating in off-grid environments to make it ideal for areas where infrastructure is limited. The system could be easily attached onto a bicycle for towing between locations without having to worry about the milk within spoiling before it can arrive at a pasteurization facility.
The mobile thermoelectric refrigerators the design work of Jordan Nollman, Jason Wilbur, Rich Orsini and Matt Bettencourt of Sprout Studios, and Robert de Saint Phalle for Draper. The system could be set to use solar power and features airless tires to eliminate the occurrence of flats when on the road.
