This one really blew my mind! Just how much of the bodies heat is dumped through the arms and hands.  I was REALLY shocked by this.... wasnt expecting it at all!

There were also so many suggestions for follow on experiments....'do it with a tshirt' 'with your hands in water' 'try another form of exercise'... all great ideas... but its typically about 20 mins of work just to get a single result.

Interestingly, I didnt even have to ask the people at work, many of them volunteered to be test subjects.  Thats gonna take some time though. Im currently going back to UK to spend some time with my family.  However after that my schedule frees up a LOT... will have time for many more patreon hangouts :-)

Thermal Camera reveals how your body dumps heat while exercising!

this just blew my mind! How does your body dump the heat when you exercise? Not only did I get this wrong..... so did everyone else! Stunning if you think about it that no one know how the body theyve used all their lives actually dumps the heat when you exercise!

I'd be curious to chat with you about a follow up on that device, I'm not sure I put enough scientific rigor into my own kit to prove or disprove the claims, but it seemed interesting enough to me at the time.

Your video got me thinking about an interpretation of the dark areas to the bright red ones... I don't sweat on my forearms, are we not just seeing the effects of your sweat evaporating and cooling those parts? I hate to put you through this but try doing this experiment in really high humidity, I suspect that your apartment is dry and air conditioned so its likely you are evaporating micro droplets of sweat. Directly from the areas that are most likely to sweat, and you video only show areas where you normally don't sweat.

Perhaps you are merely exhibiting the the inverse where your body struggles to lose heat...
