house of the future will have double walls, double windows, no ahimseys, ventilation by electric fans, the incoming air bested electrically."
M Moares bases his invention on the act that the convaras of this is truo. Ho points out in his Indian patent specification that the heat of the sun gradually finds ite way through the walls and root of a house even if the walls are of the ordinary hollow constructions. His idea is to remedy this by drawing a constant stream of air, artificially cooled by means of an ordinary ovaporation screen, through the hollow walls and roof by means of a fan.
hows that amall fan will suffice for a
Ho
moderate sized building, and that the temperature can be reduced by as much as thirty degrees Fahrenheit in cool air by this means. In fact, he jackets the house. Ib must be remembered that an electric fan in no way lowers the temperature of the air, although it cools the person under it by causing skin moisture to evaporate or, niore correctly, by remoring the already aturated air and throwing dry air in its lace. On the other hand, the admission nf air, cooled by a wetted screen, into the room itself increases the humidity with ite attendant discomfort while reducing the temperature, The right principle is used in a wrong way, It is this which Mr Meares claims to correct. His invention applies both to railway carriages and build- ings and is specially adapted for places in dry climates like that of Delhi, though it
an also be used elsewhere.
