Oh, an interesting experiment is to try to freeze a watermelon in a steaming hot desert. Put towels on it and poor water over it. The amount of energy needed to evaporize the water exceeds the suns heatup effect, so the watermelon cools down... down... down... a bit of non-linearity causes what may seem to be a thermal induction effect.
I've tried that very experiment on a 118F night in the Mojave Desert using me, and a wet tee-shirt, and I can say with certainty, that I didn't freeze! That was without the Sun. The Sun adds approximately 1000W/sq-meter. -Chuck Harris _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
