"The bigger it is, the cooler we get. The fan beats everyone, there is no air conditioner that holds": the scientific explanation of Professor Vincenzo Schettini

The article discusses the effectiveness of fans compared to air conditioners during hot and humid weather, based on explanations from Professor Vincenzo Schettini. It explains that the human body produces sweat which evaporates to cool us down, but high humidity prevents this process. Fans help by moving away humid air, allowing sweat to evaporate more effectively. The professor suggests using large objects like cutting boards or plates to simulate fan effects and recommends spraying water on the skin to enhance cooling through evaporation. The piece highlights traditional methods as scientifically valid alternatives to modern cooling devices.
