TECHNOLOGY UPDATE 



500 miles from nowhere, 

 itll give you a cold drink 

 or a warm burger. . . 



NASA spaceflights inspired this portable fridge that 

 outperforms conventional fridges, replaces the ice chest 

 and alternates as a food warmer. 



By Charles Anton 



ecognize the ice cooler in this picture? 



Surprisingly enough, there isn't one. 

 . What you see instead is a Koolatron, 

 an invention that replaces the traditional ice 

 cooler, and its many limitations, with a tech- 

 nology even more sophisticated than your 

 home fridge. And far better suited to travel. 



What's more, the innocent looking box be- 

 fore you is not only a refrigerator, it's also a 

 food vi'armer. 



NASA inspired por- 

 table refrigerator. 



Because of space trav- 

 el's tough demands, 

 scientists had to find 

 something more de- 

 pendable and less 

 bulky than traditional 

 refrigeration coils and 

 compressors. Their re- 

 search led them to dis- 

 cover a miraculous 

 solid state component 

 called the thermo-elec- 

 tric module. 



Aside from a small 

 fan, this electronic 

 fridge has no moving 

 parts to wear out or 

 break down. It's not 

 affected by tilting, jar- 

 ring or vibration (situ- 

 ations that cause home 

 fridges to fail). The 

 governing module, no 

 bigger than a match- 

 book, actually delivers 

 the cooling power of a 

 10 pound block of ice. 



From satellites to station wagons. 



Thermo-electric temperature control has now 

 been proven with more than 25 years of use in 

 some of the most rigorous space and labora- 

 tory applications. And Koolatron is the first 

 manufactxirer to make this technology avail- 

 able to families, fishermen, boaters, campers 

 and hunters- in fact anyone on the move. 



Home refrigeration has come a long way 

 since the days of the ice box and the block of 

 ice. But when we travel, we go back to the 

 sloppy ice cooler with its soggy and sometimes 



The refrigerator from outer space. 



The secret of the Koolatron Cooler/Wartner 

 is a nriniature thermo-electric module that 

 effectively replaces bulky piping coils, loud 

 motors and compressors used in conven- 

 tional refrigeration units. In the cool 

 mode, the Koolatron reduces the outside 

 temperature by 40 degrees F. At the 

 switch of a plug, it becomes a food warmer, 

 going up to 125 degrees.

spoiled food. No more! Now 

 for the price of a good cool- 

 er and one or two seasons 

 of buying ice, (or about five 

 family restaurant meals), all the 

 advantages of home cooling are available for 

 you electronically and conveniently. 



Think about your last trip. You just got 

 away nicely on your long-awaited vacation. 

 You're cruising com- 

 fortably in your car 

 along a busy interstate 

 with only a few rest 

 stops or restaurants. 

 You guessed it... the 

 kids want to stop for a 

 snack. But your Kool- 

 atron is stocked with 

 fruit, sandwiches, cold 

 drinks, fried chicken... 

 fresh and cold. Every- 

 body helps themselves 

 and you have saved 

 valuable vacation time 

 and another expensive 

 restaurant bill. 



Hot or cold. With the 

 switch of a plug, the 

 Koolatron becomes a 

 food warmer for a 

 casserole, burger or 

 baby's bottle. It can go 

 up to 125 degrees. 



And because there 

 are no temperamental 

 compressors or gasses, 

 the Koolatron works 

 perfectly under all 

 circumstances, even 

 upside down. Empty, the large model weighs 

 only 12 pounds and the smaller one weighs 

 just seven. Full, the large model holds up to 

 40 12-oz. cans and the smaller one holds six. 

 Just load it up and plug it in. On motor 

 trips, plug your Koolatron into your cigarette 

 lighter; it will use less power than a tail light. 

 If you decide to carry it to a picnic place or a 

 fishing hole, the Koolatron will hold its cool- 

 ing capacity for 24 hours. If you leave it 

 plugged into your battery with the engine off, 

 it consumes only three amps of power.
