It’s cold outside. Why the heck would I turn on the A/C? Oh, right. Science.
YouTuber and viral virtuoso Mark Rober explains the fastest way to de-fog a windshield in this video:
It’s a long one. If you want to skip the science and the snickers, go to the four-minute 20-second mark.
Contrary to the thumbnail, this tested the quickest method for getting rid of liquid condensation, or fog, on the glass — not for ice or frost.
That doesn’t mean it still wouldn’t help get rid of the limp Pacific Northwest version of frost that much quicker. But we’re interested in your ideas.
So here you go, Street Smarts readers: What’s your trick for quickly (and safely) getting rid of frost or ice on the windshield? Bonus points for using the scientific method, visual aids and typing scores of explainer material really fast to sound super-knowledgeable. Send what you’ve got to streetsmarts@heraldnet.com and be sure to include your name and hometown.
In the meantime, I’m going to investigate the best way proven by science to hold a hamburger.
