brute force method
Now that's the so-called brute force method in solving engineering problem.

even using brute force dun use head.=.=

hi anonymous, interesting post you shared there. Well, I have some idea what is happening, but got a feeling my response will be crappy. See if I have the chance to write on that :)
hooami: lol!
excellent, he really listened to what his lecturers said, "use your head"... *smirk*
hopefully he didn't need stitches.

i think when you have fans facing up, the idea is to use the fans to lower the temperature of the hawker center, and so indirectly make the customers feel cooler. However, if you have fans facing down, thwy are directly blowing on the customers' which enhance the rate of evaporation on their skins and so make them feel cooler.

ouch!
probably he comes from the rural area..
I suppose the tenacity of the glass doors in singapore is rather rigid.

SF: he looks fine... :P
anonymous @09:47pm: I believe there's something to do with people's perception of thermal comfort, in which temperature and chill are some of the factors concerning thermal comfort.
anonymous @02:30: tempered glass won't even bulge :P
actually the door sensors were too slow for him...

he didn't even go near!

You are a mechanical engineering student I supposed, from some posts here,
What do you think of this incident when it is theoretically correct but physically wrong in reality.
It is based on thermodynamics and heat transfer but then the people felt that this arrangement of fans is hotter than previously when facing downwards.

Maybe you can do a write up, giving some engineering reasons why the place become hotter when fans blow upwards when the theories says it is supposed to become cooler compared to the fans blowing downwards.
The idea of blowing fans upwards is suggested by engineers.
