Even in 90%-100% humidity at night?

Why do we allow these people to exist lol
@joshyoung1440 Says:
Besides, wiping it off doesn't magically frickin cause more to come out. It just casts off sweat that still worked. Sweat doesn't like... lose potency as it sits on your skin lmfao
@Veptis Says:
medical and social norms shouldn't be ignored: the sweat brings out smell. Which is an important form of communication. So sweating and not hiding your smell is more honest.
@der.Schtefan Says:
Why not properly say kcal (kilo calories) instead of saying "calories" but then writing upper case "Cal", which is only used in the US on nutrional labels, and nowhere else in the world? The same goes for the insane idea of writing liter with a upper case L. Since the unit is not derived from a person's name, it is to be written lower case (as is the ml for milliliter), again only the US has this insane custom.

I would like to know if it's better benefiting to pour cold water over your body or just let the sweat make its job ...
@ninjakiwigames5418 Says:
Spray yourself with water:
- not gross
-colder water
:)
@tygical Says:
oh the smearing thing actually is really cool i never thought of that
@nikhilbd Says:
Is your advice the same when the relative humidity is very high (say >90%), and evaporation happens at a very slow rate, or doesn't happen at all? In many tropical countries, those are common conditions.
@atreidesson Says:
just smear some clean water 😇
@lotsoflambdas Says:
don't wipe it off,blow it off with either cold humid air or hot dry air
@Zeero3846 Says:
So technically, you can facilitate your body burning through energy by using a heater and dehumidifier in a room to make it dry and hot. The heat forces your body to produce sweat, while the dehumidifier ensures that the sweat has somewhere to go. Of course, maybe it will do a whole lot better for you if you were actually moving around in the room, but if you just sit around, you can burn off a donut's worth of energy over the course of a typical work day. There's also the additional challenge of where to keep the cold water while also controlling the urge to dump it all over yourself. The latter is a matter of discipline, but with the former, one could use a refrigerator, since it can keep the water cool and heat the surrounding room at the same time.

So when is Under Armor releasing the frilly sweat wicking shirt?
@Dan-v8k Says:
It's the oils that get secreted with the water that are the problem. They build up and create a film over the sweat that reduces its evaporation rate, and therefore its effectiveness, so wiping or washing the oils off at this point will increase the cooling effect of the sweat.
@twilightgardenspresentatio6384 Says:
I find sweat really only works to cool me once I’m dripping and pouring sweat.
@twilightgardenspresentatio6384 Says:
I do when it gets deep but only really from my eyes and face or before I touch something
@WhatAreColors Says:
if sweat is dripping, use a fan
@markcalvert8223 Says:
There's actually an interesting aspect this that you don't consider: there is a thickness of film sweat that will effectively insulate your body like an insulating double-paned window. Heat has to conduct through the film layer instead of being convected by liquid motion. In this case, wiping is better to increase the coefficient of heat transfer.
@DeathnoteBB Says:
I’m glad my natural instinct of smearing the sweat on my face and then sticking my face into the A/C blast is physics approved. It just felt colder than just waiting for the sweat to evaporate as is.
@siddharthsahu2101 Says:
Just... just take a shower for god's sake...
@Zombie-lx3sh Says:
I learned to use water evaporation for cooling while in the Sahara. The local people will carry water bottles on camels. The water gets really hot under the sun so drinking it in that state isn't recommended.
What you do instead is cover one of the bottles with cloth (anything will do, even a t-shirt), pour water from another bottle on that cloth and wait for the water to evaporate. The water in the bottle will get quite cool.
Since I learned this, I've used this trick on the beach as well. Wrap a towel or t-shirt around your bottle, soak it with water (sea water will do just fine) and wait for it to cool off. Works great!
@semajniomet981 Says:
`1:55 I'd actually say that it depends on the outside humidity. If it's very humid out, then waiting for evaporation isn't really going to help you, as the air is already super saturated.
@ruin1307 Says:
that Segway was incredible
@SassyOnline Says:
So the sun gives me heat and makes me way too hot. Then the sun evaporates the sweat off my body, taking away the heat from my body, which is much better than it being cold. So if I'm hot and sweaty, the ideal scenario to be in for the most effective heat reduction (other than being submerged) is the same scenario causing me to be too hot and sweaty. Gotta love reality.

Answer: Yes.
Because no mater where it is, that sweat will somehow get into my eyes.
@unclecreepy4185 Says:
When I was young and more active, on a hot day of doing something strenuous, when the wind started to blow, I’ve “smear” the sweat around my face and let the wind blow in my face.
But the real secret is if you have to be outside in the heat, but you don’t want to sweat, so you can stay dry for work or whatnot, is keep yourself dehydrated. Drink plenty of sodas and forgo straight water. The soda can help your thirst and keep your mouth from getting dry, but your body needs to save that water. So you not only don’t sweat as much, but you don’t have to pee as often.
@Zoyx Says:
Let's promote the use of wet-bulb temperature over "heat index" when alerting people about heat danger!
@josephjackson1956 Says:
I like to put water on my face when I’m hot. I also like to wet my long sleeves when I’m working in the heat so my body cools better.
@GeologicalNerd Says:
I'm allergic to my own sweat. So...that sucks.
@intheshell35ify Says:
Get a small sweat towel to "smear" it around to a thickness that can be easily evaporated. Would have loved to hear something about the latent heat of vaporization.
@notme5844 Says:
Honestly even if it is kind of gross you can shower afterwards and get the benefits of smearing sweat around while still being clean. Nobody is worried too much about how sweaty you are if its hot or youre working.

0:46 So a Cal is a kcal?
@OfficialPostSecret Says:
Yes, but if you are in the sauna you will get hotter faster and have less toxins reenter you body from sweat.
@lenaschofield4759 Says:
Does being wearing sunscreen and being hatless/shirtless keep you cooler or does wearing lightweight fabric blocking the sun keep you cooler?

So Givewell finds the charity that saves the most people for the least money? Or whatever gets most number of lives saved/better given a certain amount of money? Welp! There we go, we have the trolley problem solved. Guess it's not a paradox anymore huh.

C'est marrant, la vidéo est super, mais tu ne lui donnes pas beaucoup de valeur ajoutée, à part une intro et une outro. Est-ce que c'est parce qu'elle a été faite à distance ?
@Adamcito. Says:
Better yet, pass a damp towel over your skin. You clean yourself and cool faster (also feels freaking good)
@shiroryuichi3762 Says:
I threw away my towel when i saw this
@wolf-ranger Says:
The calculation of surface area of the body is flawed for use in his evaporative cooling basis. Some portion of the body will be covered in clothing (how much is highly dependent; from bathing suit to business suit, etc.)
Evaporative cooling from clothing is actually taking a significant portion of its LHV from the surrounding air temperature and radiative heat from external sources (i.e. the sun) rather than just using the heat from your body to evaporate.
However, his calculation would be accurate if the argument is that walking around naked constitutes a realistic test environment...
@IsaacMorgan98 Says:
Generally, imma wipe the sweat if it's annoying. Which means if its on my brow or on a part of me that needs to be dry/sticky
@도브라이너 Says:
Shouldn’t the unit 'Cal’ in whole video be changed to ‘kcal'?
