As one Japanese TV program had said, I placed the wet towel in front of the fan to cool down the room temperature for this very hot day. There is also the Japanese website explaining how it works too.
According to them, when the wind from the fan go through the towel, it take some heat of room by evaporating the water in the towel. And when the towel gets dry, it suck water from the bucket from the bottom. So, as long as there is water in the bucket, it keeps cooling down.
I thought it was a good idea to save the electricity for the AC.
When I tried it, I could see the towel formed the little dorm shape by the wind from the fan; but that was pretty much all about it. I did not feel any cool air was coming out from there. It could be because either the towel was too wet or too thick for this.
It did increase the humidity of the room though.
Well..
