The point is that thermocouples have a hot junction and a cold

You were close, but lost the plot when you started saying it was like
a car fridge.
Thermocouples detect temperature due to the voltage generated between
dissimilar metals. You were right on that point. Thermocouples are
hilariously bad power sources, and can not be driven to generate cold.

I'm just an aerospace engineer, but the way I understand thermocouples is
that they are two different metals that are welded together...they produce
different voltages with different heat. Reverse that by applying voltage
to the leads and you have a hot side and a cold sidethat's how car

I am certainly no expert on things electrical, but I have some understanding
of how it works. The lead coming off the thermocouple is "thermocouple"
wire. You see how much I don't know. Well, I also did not know that you
could run regular wire from it until I ordered a switch from Westach that i
