PostPosted: Mon, 19th Jun 2023 16:11    Post subject: Cooling Vests for the Heat
So since it is getting hot now in the northern hemisphere and because of climate change and all I started planning about how to deal with the heat outside in the future.
All I see is red and sweaty people running around and nobody thinks of tools to use or applies any engineering solutions. Idea

I decided to become a trendsetter and the first thing I got was a little parasol like the fine ladies of nobility used back then. It is starting to draw attention!

Next, I looked at cooling vests.

There seem to be 3 different types of cooling vests:

- Passive cooling vests - lightweight and cheap, basically just some material that reflects the sun, limited effectiveness, not very interesting
- Phase change material (PCM) cooling vests - these have packs inside that you put inside the freezer before going outside and they will cool you down for a couple of hours.
- Active cooling vests - these are battery powered and use fans etc. to cool the body. Like walking around as a custom PC build. Very interesting. Negatives: Very expensive!

Some videos:




What do you guys think about it? Anyone got any experience with cooling vests?

I live in florida, where it has always been 1000 degrees in the summer and the sun feels like its 10m from you Laughing

When I did construction things I used, which might not be applicable for daily going about your business:
-Small good absorbant wet towel on back of neck: does wonders to cool you down.
-Mist T-shirt with water from a spray bottle: Keeps it from looking like you fell in a pool, but really sucks the heat out of you.
-Polyester Moisture Wicking T-shirt: Its a light poly shirt that works well to keep sweat off you. its thin and light so breeze goes thru it well, and does a surprisingly good job of lifting/soaking sweat off you and evaporating it to cool.

Or if all else fails, and it's mid july in florida on a roof...Hold your head under a water hose for a good full minute and hope 'Bear Claw' doesnt kick in.
Not sure the medical term, its when you cool your head and neck off too quickly and the equal to what feels brain freeze hits your entire head and neck with a tight 'cramp like' feeling tension headache for a few minutes. But if it's hot enough and you been under the direct florida sun for hours, how good the hose feels is worth it sometimes..lol

Fans does wonders. if you want to be really cooled down, sprinkle water onto yourself then directly stand in front of the fan, makes you very cold.
Also thick curtains helps.

i'm not fat and i can't stand heat Sad i think ~15C is comfortable, but i don't mind 0C or below if outside and moving, 0C is t-shirt weather as long as its not also windy Razz

It has applications in countries that actually have hot weather, Europe doesn't even get hot weather. Worse in some industries your forced to wear protective gear and work in 40-45 degree heat day after day.

a) You definitly don't need to be fat to have problem with heat.
b) do you often bring a fan with you when you go outside?

If one doesn't think climate change is real then one must be a blithering idiot.

On topic: it's fucking hot here as well. Fan helps a little, big ceiling fan. But stays hot of course. Had an a/c a few years ago but my eyes didn't like it so got rid of it.

@Stormwolf
To be fair to all, I think most everyone in this thread is confusing weather, with climate.
And it doesn't confirm nor deny climate change is real effect that is starting to ramp up. Which it is. How much of it was caused by us is the debate (sadly), not if it's happening as that is true regardless of if we take blame ourselves.

Thats the great things about statistical peer reviewed data. It's real if you like it, those that say it, or not.
Like I concur its evidential. Doesn't mean I am "for" climate change, or an advocate of it. I dislike the fact of it. But that simple fact doesn't mean I can say it's not true.

Its the same people who thought BLM was legit and not a scam Laughing i can perhaps excuse that but this scam has been going on since the 70's. "only x years left", and some people still jump on this ridiculous conspiracy train, these people will believe any garbage MSM will feed them.

""Science"" in 20XX is laughable. Just take the gender garbage, it's not true we have hundreds of genders just because people are getting cancelled over stating what used to be our truths and our science. ""Science"" now = ideology, politics and outright money/power/ESG scams.

People use weather to claim its climate change ALL the time, i see it in the news monthly.

Your grasp on the breath, range and separation of the fields of science is embarrassingly little.
Its as if you think science is a big cabal of interlinked, coordinated, and single point focused goal collection of people all working towards a common and agreed upon conclusion of direction and purpose.

NO matter how stupid the gender sciences are, that has zero, none, nada impact, influence or overlap with climate studies. No one in one, is connected or inter chattering with the other of "let's all go this direction and dupe the common man".

I'm not denying that climate is changing. Seasons being delayed is usually how i notice it personally. Yet this year it's been more like i knew from my childhood. So what do we make of this?

That weather happens and the specific returns in range of data year to year may overlap even if the ranges differ (80-100, and 82-102 random result can end up in the same result a lot, regardless of one starts and end higher).
And personal experience of no change in 1/2 a life span, does not mean change isnt happening. Ask ANY person in any time since the ice age if it's about the same as it was when a child. you get yes. Despite a clear change on longer than one person's lifespan of a snowball earth then, to now.

And so, weather and climate are different entities all together.

Of course it is, you got to have to the IQ of a fucking snail to not see it. MSM has brainwashed you completely with this nonsense. Do you honestly think you can be a scientist in 2023 and have a completely other take on climate change, genders, BLM (or other hot MSM topics) that doesn't line up with the common consensus? Of course you cant! You will be cancelled and out of a job in no time.

Also i would suggest testosterone treatment for all of you lefties who think and acts like either children or women. You are emberrasing to the whole human race.

Been thinking the same. It's absolutely in no way far fetched when you see how hateful these people behave against opposing opinions and generally things that don't line up with their views on life.

Not just that, but also area scale also. Weather is local, Climate is regional or global.
It takes vasts amount of weather data, to surmise climate, the other way around isn't a way it would work.

But I agree, not say it to you so much, but to a lot of people it does need to be said a lot of times Razz
A shockingly large number of people think they are the same.

yes...absolutely. Because they do not work in that field in anyway shape or form.

Do you think a Microbiologists, Chemists, Paleontologist, Biochemist or a bucketload of other types need or care about such things in thier work. or that those thing influence thier outcomes, or better yet their opinions on it matter at all for or against it? Seeing as they are not scientist of it?
Say a Epidemiologist thinks 400 genders are real, and a Hydrologist thinks they are fake. So what? They do not work in, influence, or even their beliefs of it matter in anyway in their work, or hold credibility or usefulness in a totally separate field.

Not sure if you think they all know each other, or you are unware of how many types of science degrees and totally unrelated fields there are.

I know a dozen or so scientists (I hang out with a lot of nerdy people online playing nerdy games, you meet one or two, you end up meeting friends of friends. Birds of a feather and all that) that do not care, have differing opinions of stance on these things all across the spectrum and it does not impact nor matter for their job.

Perhaps YOU should know some, before assuming how they think, how it impacts them, and how it matter or not Razz
Stop listening to things you read online, and find out for yourself. Assumptions based on ignorance of first hand are dangerous.

I honestly do not give a fuck about these fake shill scientists posting "scientific studies" tthese days. I don't need their information in my daily life, i just assume it's bullshit and go on with my life.

But do chill a bit. You're assuming just as much as us, so don't use any "facts" because you're a florida man with florida opinions and therefore assumptions are facts, not assumptions

I see....
"I disagree with it, so I call it fake".

And 'which' scientists and papers? You dismiss them all? A Paleontologist paper you dismiss as shilling hogwash, or Astronomers? What about Electrical engineerings? Microbiologists?
I assume not. So I assume you just mean the very very narrow band of scientists that are 'make me mad, they say things I dont like' ones.

Got ya, no smart or intellectual people in florida. Not a one. I forgot that. Where I happen to physically reside determines my mental level of ability. Shit! Wait we should tell people, NASA is here full of dumb florida people with florida opinions. That's an accident waiting to happen.

But there are only 2 genders and that is a FACT.

Just like there is no global warming or whatever bs, climate changes all the time as history shows but global warming etc is just bullshit.

Well you're not absorbing anything i say as usual. I'll repeat: You are assuming just as much.

And of course not. But it has to be outside the scope of whatever nonsense is popular these days, which sounds absolute whack. the world with the fairy fag trans nonsense pride parade 5 times a year and holding secret trans theaters and classes to grade school children is whacko. Do you agree?

I do totally agree. But what does that have to do with the other 99.9% of totally unrelated sciences?

You focus on a handful out of literally 1000's of types of sciences and extrapolate that to them all. Despite not knowing about the others, or even WHAT the majority of the others do, I'd wager not even know the name or the existence of the other wide range of them that cover literally everything you can think of to study, and then some you cannot.
