Secondarily, should the fan be outside or inside the window?
Asking for a friend. (Me, help. I can’t remember physics, it’s too goddamn hot)
Edit: I’ve opened all the windows and set up a fan a short distance from the window pointing out and it’s reduced the temperature to near-tolerable levels. Unfortunately, venting through the attic was a no-go but moving things aside might make it an option next time. Thank you all, I appreciate the help!
Why so far from the window?
I think you get the benefit of the airflow pulling in air along its edge to push out with it.
Like pushing a bunch of water with a broom removes not only the water in front of the broom but also more water due to surface tension and inertia
It’s called the venturi effect.
Oh yeah the bruscietta effect
