It's hot, so everyone has fans around, I went into the newsagents and he had a fan pointing at the chocolate. Stupid man, I thought, that won't cool the chocolate down.
Mentioning this at work, it started an argument about whether or not fans cool things down, so I thought I'd bring the debate to Barbelith.
A fan will cool you down because you sweat, and it helps the sweat evaporate faster, cooling you down. If you point it at your computer it will cool it down because your computer creates heat, and the fan will blow the hot air away allowing cooler air to replace it. It won't cool chocolate down because chocolate doesn't sweat or produce heat.
My workmates didn't believe me, "Fans cool things down" they said, do you? |
