The Ceiling Fan- Good Or bad?
The normal Ceiling fan is quite a nice invention as it can actually save you on your energy bills if you use it over air con..
The ceiling fan is used for many different things including the obvious keeping the room cool as well as suicide, a hat and the possible urban myth of beheadings..
How does the fan end up on someones head as a hat?? I am actually talking about the fan coming loose and falling on somebodys head..
Sadly many people take thier life on a ceiling fan. Being a high point in the room the ceiling fan is often a target for people to use when deciding to take their own life.
There is a huge lie that is told about the fan and that is the power it has to behead somebody.. It has been show in many films which is why people may think it can happen.. On the programme Mythbusters it was actually proven that the most a ceiling fan can do to you is tear the throat open and that was using the most powerful fan money can buy, even the custom lawnmowe fan couldnt take the head off fully.?
It was more than likely taken from a single film and then used by other companies for their projects.. So although many people have suffered their demises from the ceiling fan over the years it is very unlikely that anyone has been properly beheaded.
On a lighter note the ceiling fan amongst other inventions that include home humidifiers and air filter can actually be more useful to you than deadly. So why not actually go out there and purchase a ceiling fan, they are pretty useful and will not do you any harm, most of the time. But in all honesty they can be really useful for the home and save you on energy.
How about that Ceiling Fan
The cool Ceiling fan is not a bad thing at all as it can be used instead of air con..
Of course the ceiling fan is mainly used for keeping people cool but is also used for suicide and for a hat..
The question is, how is the fan used as a hat?? I am actually talking about the fan coming down on somebodys head, my school days had many loose fans that no one seemed to want to sit under..
The fact is that many people choose to take thier own life by using a ceiling fan. The majority of suicides are from hangings as the fan is often the highest point in the room..
There is a huge lie that is told about the fan and that is the power it has to behead somebody.. It has been show in many films which is why people may think it can happen.. The television programme Mythbusters proved that by using a replica dummy of the human head that the blade would certainly tear the throat open which of course would lead to death but the fan could not actually behead anyone, which asks the question, where does all of this stuff about fan heaters and ceiling fans originate from?
Most likely from a film director wanting to get a bit of a shock from an audience after all this is what they are paid to do. The only thing you will get if you come neck first into one of these fans is a modern “Nearly Headless Nick” and not a full beheading..
There are more uses for the ceiling fan than faults just like Humidifiers and HEPA air purifier can actually be more useful to you than deadly. So why not actually go out there and purchase a ceiling fan, they are pretty useful and will not do you any harm, most of the time. But in all honesty these ceiling fans are more useful to you than they are deadly so you have no need to worry if you are thinking about buying one- Or do you?
Is your health suffering because of dry air?
It’s no secret that constantly living and working in damp conditions is bad for our health, but not many people realise that the opposite is also true. Air without enough moisture can cause a lot of health problems which could be avoided by regulating the air. The use of air conditioners not only helps to control the temperature and purity of the air but also ensures that humidity is kept at the right levels to avoid these health issues. One obvious consequence of a dry environment is dehydration, but there are all sorts of other complaints that can be made worse by living and working in these conditions.
Asthma – Modern homes and offices with double glazing get particularly dry when the central heating is in use during the winter. The effects of prolonged central heating causing that dried-out feeling are easily familiar to anyone but those with respiratory illnesses often find that it can make their condition worse. Installing a portable air conditioner with a humidifier in the home or office makes all the difference as it injects the necessary moisture back into the air.
Dry skin and hair – If the air is too dry it will draw water from any available source, including our skin. This can leave skin feeling rough and painful, and hair dry and brittle.
Hay fever and allergies – One in 10 people in central Europe suffer from hay fever, but contrary to its name this affliction has very little to do with hay. Pollen in the air is the real problem, it’s everywhere in the summer months but invisible to the eye. The use of a ceiling fan will make the room feel fresher and less dusty, but if the air is too dry it will only blow pollen around even more. Weighing down the particles by injecting moisture into the air will stop them from causing so much of a problem. As any hay fever sufferer will tell you, they are least affected by their allergies just after rain, while the air is still moist.
Eyes – One of the first signs that the air is too dry is irritation of the eyes. If the thin layer of moisture on the surface evaporates, the eye is left feeling dry and irritated. Contact lens wearers are most familiar with this as the lenses become an irritation if they are allowed to dry out, and can sometimes pick up small particles of dust.
Tiredness – It’s not just the feeling of dry eyes that causes us to feel tired in dry conditions, it also affects the way we breathe. Not having enough moisture in the air makes it more difficult for out lungs to extract the oxygen we need. Tiredness, headaches and general fatigue are signs of reduced oxygen levels, and can cause stress.
