Bernoulli effect. But it relies on a breeze, and the people being sufficiently hydrated. They should also lose some clothes while they are indoors, after watching the video. I think that I'd have to see some real world data before I'd truly believe it. I see thermometers in some pics, but I'm unconvinced.
Me too. From the link:

10º F? I'm calling bullshit on this one. The pressure differential is just too low for the claimed effect.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
