takamachi said: can't accelerator just used his powers to direct the heat away from his body?
Makes one wonder if that would be counter-productive. He would have to work/concentrate on keeping heat away. However his own body would create heat since he is exerting himself. Kinda like how air conditioning units generate their own heat, thats why half of the machine gets stuck outside, so the heat that is generated is pushed outside.

Vector redirection basically violates the second law of thermodynamics if it does not require any energy. Should we ask Misaka Sisters to find out how much energy do they spend on this? Actually, supposing he can redirect every particle having a speed above a certain treshold, he can force the desired air temperature inside the effective radius of his ability. If we suppose he can not only invert the direction of the particle, but also pass it any vector he wants, he can constantly redirect the fastest air molecules to the open window. When the average speed of the air molecules inside the room (and the temperature, as a result) will be reduced, he will no longer need his ESP mode. Actually, this Accelerator standing next to an open window would be a perfect example of the Maxwell's Demon. Given the fact that he himself does no work thank to the Sisters, he's a true Demon. Ha-ha. Basically yes, he could work as a perfect lightning-fast air conditioner. Considering the average speed of air molecules, the process of cooling a room will could be finished in a blink of an eye.

Fucking physics, how does it work? But yeah, awesome lesson on thermodynamics. Another thing learned browsing danbooru.
So hot, I can’t bear with it anymoreIt’s impossible to go through summer without air conditioningToo hot…That Yomikawa suddenly got so obsessed with saving electricityMisaka whispered Misaka exhaustedlyLooking at both of you made it worse
