how does it work to stay cool?

The gel within the mat absorbs the heat which then dissipates it through the mat allowing the surface of the mat to remain cool.

You are really going to laugh at this answer. I bought this chilly mat for myself Karen not Gary. I suffer night sweats and this is awesome. I love it wished I had it years ago. And I did buy a small one for our male frech bully he over excites and he has his own fan I have placed his mat in front of his fan and he has started using it more. It works however he seems unsure about laying on it.

All I can tell you is that it contains a gel substance that gets cool when you lay or press down on it. My dog has one for daytime (on her dog bed) and one for nighttime (on my bed). The older one doesn't seem to cool down as fast as the new one however it still works and the older one is over a year old.

The Chilly Mat works by the gel creating a lower temperature than your dog's body temperature, making it feel cool to them. It can also be placed in the refrigerator or freezer for a short time before your dog is going to use it. However, some dogs are sensitive to that much of a temperature change and may not like it super cold.

It should work for that just fine as long as you wear something over it like a t-shirt, otherwise it will keep you cool wherever it's exposed to air

I've always used negative pressure to cool things in a smaller area. This means pull the hot air out.

Yes and it also will circulate the air in the room. Moving air always makes you cooler.

No, it stays cool because of the air! If it does get warm, just let the air out and put fresh cool air in.it, takes just 2 mins.

No, it doesn't actually cool the air. However, if you're sitting relatively close, the air movement on you makes you feel less hot.

Pointed directly at your face it would keep you cool, but it could not cool the entire car. It worked great for keeping my infant cool in her stroller at Disney World. I would recommend buying rechargeable AA batteries if you purchase the fan.

It seems to stay cold all night. It warms up in the spot your head is then when you move it cools down again. Hope that helps.

Fans don't cool down air, air conditioners lower temps, while fans create a circulation of air (some better than others) which touches the skin and thus helps people be "cooler". Again, only an air conditioner will lower temps within a room, unless a fan is blowing cool air from outside or from another more cool area. Hope this helps.

You use it to figure wind chill factor, something that is very important to keeping a proper body core temperature.

We generally add ice cubes in our packs when we fill them up to make them stay cooler longer. Plain ole water will stay slightly cooler outside than if it was in a bottle but does get warm because of the sun and your body temperature in a few hours.

If I set it up in the middle of my double bed, it cools the whole thing. If your bed is larger and you set it up more to one side or the other, it would probably only cool one side/person.

Is your garage fully insulated to prevent heat transfer? If so, the unit may work to keep one end of the garage cool if you were to blow it on you from a distance adjusted for comfort. You need to calculate the volume of air you are trying to cool compared to the unit's rating. If it is not large enough, you may need a larger size.

It depends on the size of the area. You can stick a pc fan on it to keep it cool.

This computer has a cool sense software that automatically cools the computer off when it starts to get hot. I've had it on top of a pillow or blanket where the hot air would usually increase, but it doesn't. You can leave it on or you can also turn the cool sense off. It's really a great computer.

While I have only used for cooling, you can feel some warm air coming from the fan. You must make sure not to have that blocked. The warm air is barely noticeable but I have never had anyone in the back seat where it is placed. I must place my hand against the fan grill to feel the air. Unit works great. I usually freeze a battle of water to act like as ice cube. Very satisfied.

The cooler is for my husband, and it will stay cool, for several hrs with 2 small freeze packs. I frequently carry it in my purse, so it is not up against the body ... or even in in back pack. We love using it duringtravel. Good luck with it!We have had it stay cool as long as 12 hrs.
