In summer, temperatures on parts of the Underground can become very uncomfortable due to its deep and poorly ventilated tube tunnels. Conventional air conditioning has been ruled out because of the lack of space for equipment on trains and the problems of dispersing the waste heat these would generate. Heat pumps were trialled in 1938 and have been proposed again recently to overcome this problem. Following a successful demonstration in 2001 funds were given to the School of Engineering at London's South Bank University to develop a prototype; work began in April 2002. A prize of �100,000 was offered by the Mayor of London during the hot summer of 2003 for a solution to the problem, but the competition ended in 2005 without a winner being announced.
In 2011, new S-stock trains will be delivered to replace the current A, C and D stock trains on the Sub-Surface Lines (Metropolitan, Circle, H&C, East London Line and District Line). These will have standard air-conditioning, as the sub-surface tunnels are large enough to displace the exausted hot-air. The new stock will start to be delivered in 2009. [6]
A year-long trial of a groundwater cooling system began in June 2006 at Victoria station. If successful the trial will be extended to 30 other deep-level stations. [7] There are posters on the Underground suggesting that passengers carry a bottle of water to help keep cool.

People's wishes and dreams
5) Why, if friction causes heat, and assuming that it is 100 degrees in the air temp, and 98.6 degrees in your body, does a fan feel good? For the air blowing over you, is hotter than you, and there is friction....

yep.

The earliest form of the letter W was a doubled V used in the 7th century by the earliest writers of Old English; it is from this <uu> digraph that the modern name "double U" comes.
