- because_789 3y agoIs he 45, or has he been an engineer for 45 years? Either way, I wish I had this guy’s sauna.
- vikaveri 3y agoIf his sauna is the one in the picture, it has a flaw. Benches are placed too low. Your feet should be approximately at the level of the top of the stones. The sauna looks similar to a barrel sauna and they often are too low due to curvature to allow placing benches high enough
- givemeethekeys 3y agoBecause, he's FORTY FIVE! He's FRAIL with one foot LITERALLY in the GRAVE!! j/k. Someone mentioned that he has 45 years of experience. That makes him closer to 65. If he's still doing cool shit, thats pretty cool. I wish they'd explain the problem in a short sentence before diving right in. Maybe this blog is for people who already know what the issues with an electric sauna are... bad ventilation, I assume.
- gifvenut 3y agoIf you read the article, the problem is explained quite well: > In my simple mind, the Finnish Sauna is just a type of Heat Treat Furnace or Oven that you load humans into and try to provide them with three characteristics. (1) not oversaturate their lungs with their own Carbon Dioxide waste products from being enclosed in a sauna with poor ventilation and limited fresh air volume changes (called Air Mixing in the study), (2) create an enjoyable Temperature distribution within the sauna environment (called Temperatures in the study) and lastly (3) provide a well distributed Ladled Steam Humidity cloud throughout the Sauna (called Air Condition in the study). Basically, everything you would expect for a good Finnish Sauna experience. The rest of the article explains the ventilation needed for this.
- jaktet 3y agoThat’s not an explanation of the problem though, those are just characteristics of a good sauna. I don’t see the problem defined well in the article, but it can mostly be surmised from the intro: > Malcolm has analyzed the Finnish 1992 sauna ventilation study profile, applied his knowledge and experience as a 45 year engineer to test and better understand sauna ventilation in his own backyard sauna. They wanted to test and understand the sauna ventilation in his backyard sauna and used a 1992 research paper as a reference. I can only assume this venture started because they were dissatisfied with the ventilation in their backyard sauna.
- Brian_K_White 3y ago45 year engineer, not 45 year old engineer. It's not about their age but their experience. The relevance is that someone spent 45 years, as a trained adult engineer no less, not 45 years merely breathing, aware of a problem and only after than much experience, solved it. It would also be interesting if they had been a 1 year engineer or not an engineer at all, just for different reasons.
- 2-718-281-828 3y agowhat kind of engineer? software engineer? ;D
- djmips 3y agoNo a real engineer.
- 2-718-281-828 3y agoyou're tryin to make friends? i'd be a little careful around here
- djmips 3y agoI'm not to worried. ;-) My friends don't have ego problems.
- 2-718-281-828 3y agodude, I'm just trying to help you
- djmips 3y agodude, thanks.
- OJFord 3y agoFwiw it didn't read naturally to me either. I suppose I'd say 'an engineer of [or 'for'] 45 years'. Or 'Malcolm, 45 years an engineer, [...]'.
