Our house never gets hot enough to need a fan. I live in Scotland so it’s nowhere near as hot as where you are. Fantastic video and I’m so glad I stuck with you because
Fans aren’t always for heat, it’s extremely humid here in Scotland. 80% most of the summer, airflow is key. I have reptiles too so I need airflow to lower humidity
I mounted a good metal blade fan into a window slot to blow hot air out. I open a far side window and it pulls cool morning air in. We save $$ on electricity and do not use our AC anymore in triple digit heat.
I'm not quite understanding: Do you open windows in each room of the house then use a fan in each room? Or do you open one (or two windows) on one part of the house to create airflow throughout the house?
Basically the fan part blowing is just for sucking in the air behind the fan. If you mean having all those fans running at the same time, that'd be a bad idea as it wouldn't support any one air flow passage. The point is just to create a passage for the air inside the house to flow outwards.
Thank you so much for the valuable lesson. I could feel my room much cooler when I moved my floor fan away from the window when it was cooler than inside.
You keep saying this is how fire fighters evacuate the air from a room. Maybe contact your local Fire Department and get a demonstration on video; seeing the smoke move is a great visual for the principle.
I was a firefighter for a number of years. Trying to get one of my pals in bunker gear to play with some props on video with me. Hard to coordinate these days
2:03 because what? 😬 Now I'm not guna sleep Great video though - feel like I'm guna have a hard time explaining this to my fiance next time the house heats up 😂
So let's say I want to cool the bedroom. Do I open a window in the bedroom and put a fan also in a bedroom facing window? or do I place it in the other end of the house, in another room, facing window, so that cool air enters the bedroom and moves through the house?
If your main goal is to cool your own bedroom, your best bet is to place the fan in a different room blowing out, with that window and your bedroom window open. Be sure to close off other rooms that are not critical to cool. Also be sure to keep the fan a few feet inside the window
@@wolf_sciencethank you! And if I just put the fan in the bedroom itself, facing window - wouldn’t it achieve same effect - moving air through the house to exit via bedroom window - but with extra airflow in that room, so the skin feels colder? Or in that case the room with the fan becomes the hottest?
Both methods will achieve the exact same airflow, but one method immediately brings outside (hopefully cooler) air into your bedroom, and the other method requires all other householdxx air to be removed before the outside air begins to cool your room. Plus, the other method will have the cooler outside air get slightly reheated by the mass of the household objects (walls, floor, furniture). Hope this makes sense!
I have 2 windows on the same wall 12' apart. My detached garage is not insulated. The ceiling rafters are 12' high. It stays too hot in the summer (new mexico) to do anything except park the car and leave. I leave both windows open (with screens) and put a box fan in 1 window frame blowing air IN. It really doesn't do much. Should i move the fan away from the window and blow OUT?
Can you please show where to place 2 fans in the house when the temperature in the house is above 92 degrees? Please. Many need to visually see the placement. Which is best? Facing in vs facing out vs mix?
Hi, I have two questions; 1. does it matter where the wind comes from when you blow out the hot air? 2. my fan has three settings, should I use the highest one?
The highest setting will move more air and therefore change the temperature more quickly (as long as there is a difference in temperature between inside and outside). To answer your first question I need more detail about what you are asking.
@@wolf_science well I live in an apartment on the second floor and its very windy. The room I want to cool has the window facing south, but sometimes the wind comes from the south, does the hot air still blow out? Or does it come back in due to the strong wind?
Assuming that you mean 42° Celsius, there’s not much you can do, other than close the windows and shades and try to keep the heat out. Blowing the fan directly on you will help by evaporating your sweat, which cools the body.
Can you do this and still run AC? It’s triple digit hot where I am and home AC is struggling to keep up- can this method help with AC on as well or is it counterproductive?
Seems like the best bet would be to fan the air out of the furthest bedroom to help with heat removal, like cracking windows in your car until the A/C can catch up and take over. There should be a point of diminishing returns for the effort of the fan and should only do you any good for 30mins to an hour, if your home isn't large. There also isn't a decent way for air to be sucked into the house without also letting heat into the air conditioned room. In short, makes sense to me that'd help for a short while, then the capability of the a/c is all you can rely on. If it just isn't large enough, try to sequester your family into as few open rooms as possible, nearest the room with the a/c. Remember to gently spray the fins and fan to keep them clean every few weeks and also look into better attic insulation 👍

How about now ? 😅
29 Celsius here in Wales in my bedroom and it’s 11pm!
🤣 i c what u did there

@@takeuchi5760 Thank you!
"I'm glad you stuck with me".What a great guy😊
I’m confused! Did I ignore a comment, or something?
@@wolf_science haha old people
@@wolf_science It was a very helpful video, I really enjoyed it because

How long does it take for the internal house temp to match outside.
2:03 because what? 😬 Now I'm not guna sleep
Great video though - feel like I'm guna have a hard time explaining this to my fiance next time the house heats up 😂
The video's designed to be looped, so it would say "I'm glad you stuck with me because - This video is long overdue"
@@IestynityI had to pay for 3 different psychologists to be able to stop watching this video thx for that
Thank you for sharing ❤

Cooling your home like a PC case.

My (engineer) son explained this to me.
I am so impressed
Yep. Spot on.
Wow awesome, Ive always been curious about this thanks

Where do I place my tower fan in small office if I have central AC turned on? This particular room is always hot. It's very hot outside.
Hello Vsauce, Michael here.
Yes
or is it?

*BECAUSE WHAT?!!??!*
*Why?* *Why are you Glad I stuck with You?!?!!?*
😮😮😫
Please make an other video to demonstrate where to put fan exactly , when the temperature outside is 42 😢
Assuming that you mean 42° Celsius, there’s not much you can do, other than close the windows and shades and try to keep the heat out. Blowing the fan directly on you will help by evaporating your sweat, which cools the body.
Can you share some tips on using a fan with the AC?

Thought he was ganna stop making videos glad he didn't I miss learning stuff
Thank you so much for the tips. ❤
What about window fans ?
What about those window fans that have 2 fans, where you can have 1 fan blowing in and 1 fan blowing out? Do they actually work?
love the ending XD
I just moved my fan back a few feet my rooms is starting to cooler now!
Can i do this with an evaporative air cooler or an air circulator?
Isnt the effect called air/plume entrainment?
what should I do if I live in an apartment with all windows on side so you can’t create a draft?
This technique will still work! Just remember to keep the fan a bit of distance away from the window to pull maximum quantities of air.
How long does it take to work?
Wait so if I live in a dorm and there's only 1 window, I place my fan a few feet away from the window blowing towards it?? 🤔
Yes, exactly!
Where is the rest of the video ?
It is a looping video when shown on other platforms, so on UA-cam, it appears to be cut off
I seal around my fan that blows out.
Please Mr. My neighbor is very noisy at night and I can't take a good sleep with window open. Can you teach me some ways to block the noise outside
Get a Glock
Can cover with a cupboard or cover window with 2,3 thick blankets or fabrics.
dude close the door and you have the cold air that form all night long and when is hot to bad trun out the AC
But mosquitoes
Mosquitoes? The screen is still in the window or door.
Horizontal
How do you get the cone of air to fill the entire opening
You have to move the fan far enough back from the doorway or window to be sure you’ve got a complete seal.
No way to achieve this in my house. There is always some backflow on the bottom. Fortunately it's usually colder than the inside
Which direction should my ceiling fan go in summer and winter
Ceiling fan direction: summer = counter-clockwise. winter = clockwise.
