Air Conditioner: Cool Your Home Comfortably

AI Thread Summary
Air conditioners may struggle to cool distant areas of a room due to insufficient air circulation, especially if the space is large or poorly insulated. A 2,400 BTU unit is generally adequate for smaller spaces, but air conditioning systems cannot effectively distribute cold air over long distances. Ductwork is essential for proper air distribution in larger areas. If a condensate line clogs, it's recommended to contact an HVAC professional for repairs. Using a fan can help improve airflow near insulated areas to enhance cooling efficiency.

If it is the part of the room on the far end, the air from the air conditioner simply isn't making it that far and whatever caused you to turn on the air conditioner in the first place is warming that part of the room. 2,4000 BTU is probably enough to cool that space, unless it is a 1-story, with a roof over it, but no air conditioner can effectively throw cold air 20 meters. That's what ductwork is for.

Buy a fan; put it near the insulating screen
 
What happens when an http://www.houstonairconditioners.net/air_conditioning_replacements.html" condensate line clogs? what kinda professional do i call if it is?

Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field'

Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...

Thread 'Highway: Deriving speed from Doppler shift'

I passed a motorcycle on the highway going the opposite direction. I know I was doing 125/km/h. I estimated that the frequency of his motor dropped by an entire octave, so that's a doubling of the wavelength. My intuition is telling me that's extremely unlikely. I can't actually calculate how fast he was going with just that information, can I? It seems to me, I have to know the absolute frequency of one of those tones, either shifted up or down or unshifted, yes? I tried to mimic the...
