Yes, studies seem to indicate so:

Of course the systems are complex and make the car more expensive to repair, but that’s another topic.


So you didn’t read the article then.


I read parts of it and saw that there are false claims in it, not worth wasting time after that.

Even the title is wrong, Arabic world didn't "turn away" from science, they were forced to deal with other issues.


Your video explains how traditional rice cookers work. However it doesn’t explain how fuzzy logic in a rice cooker works.


If you read the article, the problem is explained quite well:

> In my simple mind, the Finnish Sauna is just a type of Heat Treat Furnace or Oven that you load humans into and try to provide them with three characteristics. (1) not oversaturate their lungs with their own Carbon Dioxide waste products from being enclosed in a sauna with poor ventilation and limited fresh air volume changes (called Air Mixing in the study), (2) create an enjoyable Temperature distribution within the sauna environment (called Temperatures in the study) and lastly (3) provide a well distributed Ladled Steam Humidity cloud throughout the Sauna (called Air Condition in the study). Basically, everything you would expect for a good Finnish Sauna experience.

The rest of the article explains the ventilation needed for this.


That’s not an explanation of the problem though, those are just characteristics of a good sauna.

I don’t see the problem defined well in the article, but it can mostly be surmised from the intro:

> Malcolm has analyzed the Finnish 1992 sauna ventilation study profile, applied his knowledge and experience as a 45 year engineer to test and better understand sauna ventilation in his own backyard sauna.

They wanted to test and understand the sauna ventilation in his backyard sauna and used a 1992 research paper as a reference. I can only assume this venture started because they were dissatisfied with the ventilation in their backyard sauna.


But you are not everyone.


Culture plays a part too. I may have all those things but still work a steady 40 hrs a week. In fact, my employer gets worried if I work more than that, because they recognize the importance of downtime for employee performance.

Come again?


Seems like your sample size of one vehicle is quite small. My experiences have been fantastic.


As a driver or as a potential victim?


Light cone? But over the park is not in the park.


What is the vertical limit of the park? If I build a ramp and jump off it in a vehicle, at what point in its arc is the vehicle "in the park?"


The reporting in this leaves a lot of questions. I can understand pieces of foam, but that the machines were harming people by blowing _gas_? The air that we breathe is a mixture of gases. What other type of harmful gas could a CPAP machine blow?


Volatile organic compounds from the foam breaking down. Formaldehyde was mentioned in some of the reporting.


Polyester polyurethane particles which may or may not be visible to the naked eye. These particles can break down further into volatile organic compounds which are vapors. All of these are toxic and carcinogenic.
