praise our Lord 💓 thank you Jesus Christ for being our savior
There would be very few people living here in Houston Texas
I’m confused now. You used the phrase ‘heat pump’ as a more efficient means of air conditioning, but my understanding is that a heat pump is merely an air conditioner running in reverse, throwing the heat indoors and the cold outdoors. I bought one a few years ago, an AC/heating unit that runs – when used in heater mode – as a heat pump when outdoor temps are 35° or above. Below that, a convection heater kicks in. Saves a lot on utility bills.
I see what you did there…
Can you guys at Sci Show do a video about how some people think Air Conditioners make you sick? I think it’s a myth but I’ve met many people that think AC will make you sick.

The gas isn't compressed into a liquid. The compressor compresses and heats the gas and this gas is passed to the condenser. In the condenser, the gas is cooled enough that the gas turns back into a liquid.
I thought liquid nitrogen was
cool indeed
I'm busy right now my brain is not sleepy 😴
Missing Thought Bubble so Badly
Finally, I understood.
How does humidity varies in environment frequently?
check out humidifier in the below link https://refreshhomey.com/review-miroco-ultrasonic-cool-mist-humidifier/
All i can say is thank the Lord for air conditioning 🙏🙏 🙏🙏 🙏🙏 🙏
Here in the midwest it's fine, the summers are
85F springs are 74F Winters are 25F falls are 50F
the biggest reason i clicked is because of the pun
So how does Magnetic Refrigeration work?
Air conditioning is basically the only reason people can stand to live in Las Vegas where I'm at. Without it, the casinos would be so hot and muggy that they'd be basically be intolerable
Everybody just chill. I was fan but have since cooled down. Let me break the ice. Now don't anybody get too heated. XD

So does this use a magnet field its a pumpless pc cooling unit that heats an element causing the coolant to heat. Then cool. What coolant do you reckon he used ?
One time in a hotel I made a blanket fort in between the beds and used the hair dryer on cool mode and the ice bucket to make AC because it would get really hot and to this day I am so proud of that moment
You could explain this to me all day and I still can’t wrap my head around it
Worst explanation, ever.
I live in the Netherlands.
We sleep in saunas to stay cool.
… Pls send halp asap. 😐
Air conditioners that use water instead of weird chemicals? We already have those. It's called a SWAMP COOLER! 🙂 Yes, really–don't know why the weird name. What it does, is pump some water up into these pads and saturate them, then blow air through the wet material and tada! the air is cooler. Only works well in dry climates, though.
Know I know why there not called air coolers
They condition air
