I suppose these are recommended?
Another junk study science to keep y'all entertained during the dog days of summer.
Not giving up my Vornado fan and Lasko high velocity fan yet!
I suppose these are recommended?
HUH?
They can have my fan when they pry it from my cold, dead tabletop !!
Laskos work great
Just warming you up for the ObamaCare death panels. The panel may decide that based upon your age and your value to society that air conditioning or fan costs exceed the expected economic returns from your continued existence....thusly, you can die from heat exhaustion for all they care.
So why didn't the researchers do the research to suit themselves? Maybe because they had not an ounce of credibility to begin with? Most likely because it would have blown their whole effort to secure government funding to study the study of the study.
You're supposed to hang wet bedsheets in front of the fan.
You're doing it wrong LOL
Then turn the fan around and blow it facing outside to suck out the hot air out of the house. When we were kids we didn’t have A/Cs. All we had were fans. My mother had a huge window fan that she ran all night and it did a good job of sucking out the hot air out of our house. It still wasn’t air cond., but we survived.
I remember when I was real little my Grandpa turning a tabletop fan on me and telling me how it felt just like a lake breeze. I guess when you’re raised without any fans, like my Grandpa was, a fan was a big improvement.
So now the left has to protect people who are too stupid to use fans?
The physics of evaporation on the skin.
It takes them decades to figure out stuff we learned as kids.
During the hottest part of the day you can try things....
1.Turn the fan around so you are circulating air but not pumping in hot air
or
2. Close the windows, pull the curtains, and sit in front of the fan. It helps to put a cool cloth on your body - or even over the fan.
I just hope they don’t look at South Korea. For there it is believed that an electric fan, left running overnight and in a closed room, can cause the death of those sleeping inside that room.
“I would advise caution in using fans for elderly patients during a heat wave with a history of coronary artery disease or hypertension who are on multiple medications which have the ability to impair effective sweating or cooling,”
Yeah, you think?
Sheesh, if you’re not in that group a fan and a wet cloth are wonderful- and cheap.
Water evaporates at a lower temp than sweat. I’ve worked hours in 110+ temps with a damp rag on my neck and not been overly stressed.
North facing covered porches and big shade trees works wonders, especially if there is a fan mounted to the ceiling of the porch along with wet rags, and lots of fluids.
Lay down in front of a carpet dryer on a hot day and you will freeze your ass off unless the humidity is really excessive.
I’ve been mulling over this sentence....over and over.
“”We looked for high quality research that had compared groups of people using fans with groups who didn’t use them during a heatwave [sic]. However, we didn’t find any research that met our requirements,” the researchers wrote”
It makes me laugh

This is my first year there and I am very surprised that it is still quite comfortable and very livable this late in the season. Weeks of temps in the 100s, no AC. |
I was sitting at a bar on cape cod 2 weeks ago and it was HOT!.
The bartender whipped out a Vornado and man was i impressed!!
I have never seen one before, gotta get me one i think.
It’s hot.
I turn on the fan.
I get cool.
“Study” over. Now shut the hell up and go get a real job, morons.
My power was off for four days after the big storms we had a couple weeks ago. It was 95°+ each day. I bought two little battery-powered camping fans at Walmart and kept them blowing on me at all times.
I HATE the heat. My Swedish blood starts boiling at about 80°. But as long as those fans were on me, I was comfy. I don’t think I sweat a drop in those four days.
Little did I know how close I was to death. Oh my.
