Fan Creatively – Enhance Your Fan’s Cooling Power
Fans can be used in creative ways to boost their cooling effect, making them an efficient tool against the summer heat:
- Directional Cooling: Point box fans out the windows so they push hot air out. Use ceiling fans in a counterclockwise direction to pull hot air up and out.
- Fan and Ice: As mentioned, placing a bowl of ice in front of a fan can create a cooling mist as the ice melts, mimicking a sea breeze.
- Damp Cloth Over the Fan: Hanging a wet cloth over a fan can cool the air it blows, acting like an evaporative cooler for your room.
