Well sure.

Mobile charging socket is as simple as buying the "cigarette lighter charger" used in cars, and install it on the bike.

For the cooler here's the story -

For our 45 day long trip, I was interested in somehow getting cool water while on the move. If you would know, the cars have cool storage and coolers. These works on thermoelectric cooling.

The Heatsink Guide - Peltier cooler information

I had bought a Peltier cooler for 1200 bucks. Sandwiched between two heatsinks, with a exhaust fan on the heating side, installed at the base of Plastic Bottle. Covered it with a layer of thermocol, with a wire net covering the bottle, transferring the cold from the heat sinks to the whole bottle.

Although it worked, but was not cooling the bottle enough, Lack of time made me leave the project!

ha ha.. Well electronics is my hobby, just that! tried doing many innovative projects, for bikes, some them included -

(1) Automatic Cigarette Lighter - Something I just thought off. I don't smoke, but my friend does. I used get quiet irritated with his frequent fag breaks. So thought, what If the guy and inhale the fags via pipe, light them with a switch and can enjoy on the move without letting the hands off!

(2) Cooler on the move - Cooling/Heating water on bike! As explained.
(3) Mobile Charger/USB Charger/Inverter on Bike
(4) 9 years back, Automatic illuminated storage space of My Kinetic NOVA- that was way before scoots incorporated lights in under seat storage!
(5) Half Duplex Motorcycle Intercom
(6) Low battery indicator - way back in 1999!
(7) Heated Riding Gloves/Jacket
(8) Cooled Helmet

And the most outrageous
(9) Night Vision Riding Heads Up Display- Seriously!

That's amazing, dude! You have done some seriously cool projects. I am interested in a low battery indicator with a user programmable alarm threshold. Any ideas?

And tell me about the cooled helmet and the night vision display. They sound absolutely wicked!

Well, how about installing a variable resistor in the circuit which triggers the Buzzer/LED? when the voltage falls below certain

Well about the Cooled helmet - The principal remains the same, using a perltier cooler. But we need to make a cut out in the helmet, and install fans at both the ends of the TEC (peltier).

Night Vision - Made use of Camcorder, IR/Night Vision. And the live feed from the camera was sent to a 5 inch LCD screen, either as Heads Up Display or Helmet Mounted Display. Installed 2 arrays of IR LED, consisting of 30 IR LEDs compared to 4 in camcorder. BTW each IR LED 2 years back costed me about 200 bucks!

Usage - See without Headlights, ultra low power consumption, and even a small light is magnified. Never went ahead in actually making full fledged system, but tested with a Handy Cam and it is insanely wicked!!

The best part is that.. it's as good as Night Vision Goggles, used by the military. And you can actually walk in pitch dark jungles without anybody knowing.
