Many people use thermoelectric modules, commonly called Peltier modules, to make small things colder.

(Compressor-based air conditioners and refrigerators and freezers are often more practical for cooling larger things).

		+	When a Peltier element is attached to a voltage source, it pumps heat energy from one side to the other, making one side colder and one side hotter.
