  • Summary

  • In this episode of Simply Science, we dive into the fascinating (and often misunderstood) world of home cooling techniques. Ever thought about opening your refrigerator to cool off your house? Spoiler alert: It doesn’t work! We explain simple physics demonstrations, like rubber bands and a Peltier device, to show why this technique is a no-go.

    We also take a closer look at electric fans. While they feel great on a hot day, Allain explains why fans actually raise the room's temperature slightly due to the motor’s heat output. It’s a surprising revelation that might make you think twice about cranking up the fan to beat the heat.

    Tune in for a fun, myth-busting episode where physics meets everyday life, and learn why your best bet to stay cool might be a bit different than you think!
