A MATH professor has revealed an easy method that can instantly cool down a car during the hot summer months.
Dr. Hannah Fry, a Cambridge University math professor and social media star, recently shared a simple yet effective car-cooling method that has nothing to do with air conditioning.

Taking to Instagram, where Fry (@fryrsquared) has some 1.3 million followers, the fluid dynamics expert said: “That age-old dilemma of choosing between having a non-sweltering car or baffling a passerby because you look like a fool who doesn’t know how to use a door.”
She follows up by offering her own tried and tested method which she swears by and uses herself.
“This is the trick I continue to use,” Fry said.
“It’s what my Ph.D is in: fluid dynamics.”
The method works by strategically using the car’s windows; opening rear windows and then, on the opposite side, rapidly open and close the front door.
For example, if you roll down the window behind the driver’s seat, swing the passenger-side front door open and shut quickly multiple times, this creates airflow – as the movement forces the stale air out of the car and pulls fresh and cooler air in.
Fry added: “When you open and close the door, it sweeps out all the air already in the car.”
That action creates a low-pressure zone that draws out the “hot, sweaty, horrible” air and replaces it with “nice, fresh, easy air” from outside, she added.
HOME COMFORTS
Naturally, this method doesn’t just work for cars and can be used to help cool down rooms in your house, too.
According to Motor1, as reported by Marvin Replacement, different window types ventilate differently with double-hung windows pushing hot air out, casement windows catch side breezes and slider windows letting you adjust airflow.
Furthermore, bay and bow windows offer even more ventilation thanks to their wide flanking panes.
While the trick may draw some attention from passersby, its practicality outweighs any brief embarrassment.
In the comments underneath the video, one person wrote: “You’ve just improved my life more than you know Hannah.”
Another added: “This may be the best Reel I have ever seen.”
A third commented: “I do this with my window and door in my tiny room.
“Additionally I also take a towel and move it in giant circles vertically to drag the cool air and flush out the hot air.”
And a fourth chimed in: “Works with houses too! My husband stands at the back door to stop it slamming, while I stand at the front door wafting it open and closed.
“Really shifts all that stagnant, hot air!”
Expert advice on prepping your car for summer
Dustin Piggot, the Service Manager at a Subaru Dealership with years of technincal experience, told The U.S. Sun in an exclusive interview which items drivers should have checked before temperatures rise:
Have a multi-point inspection performed. A paid inspection will prompt a technician to check vital systems like braking, power steering, and front and rear suspension for any leaks or malfunctions. They will also test the condition of the battery and check vital fluid levels and conditions. Cooling system. Before things heat up, drivers must have their cooling system inspected for proper coolant levels and condition, have radiator hoses evaluated, and have the radiator checked. Have your A/C system checked. If freon is low and needs charging or parts need to be replaced, it’s essential to address the issue before temperatures rise. Make sure your tires are appropriate for warmer weather. If you live in a climate that necessitates a dedicated winter tire, swap them with all-season or summer tires if possible to extend the life of the winter tire. Winter tires are softer and will wear out much quicker in warmer weather. Look at tread depth. Tires with low tread depth will make it more difficult to stop your car if you need to avoid an accident. Give your car some TLC. Before it gets too hot, Piggott says it’s important to give your car a good cleaning to wash away winter grime and dirt and treat your paint to a nice coat of wax to protect it from harsh UV rays and high heat. Many dealerships like his offer detailing and washing services.Read more here.
