  • You’d be surprised how good the human body is at dissipating heat. We spent a good chunk of our evolution being savanna dwellers

    Most overheating comes from dehydration causing surface capillaries to contract limiting how much heat the body can expel, drinking a small amount of hot liquid will not raise the core to dangerous levels but it will provide hydration and the signal to the capillaries to expand allowing more heat to be radiated out

    Cold water does the opposite, closing the capillaries as the body thinks it needs to retain heat as now the core is rapidly cooling.






  • Get a box fan and a coil of copper pipe, run the coil all around the front of the box fan like a snake going back and forth, on the top end of the pipe attach a box for icewater, and a bucket to catch the outflow.

    Put an adjustable valve at the end going into the drain bucket and let it dribble a bit. You’ll have to adjust it to get the longest cold air time/least having to get up to empty the valve

    It’s not super efficient but it’s cheap and can be made with parts in the garage

    You’ll need a lot of ice tho
