Using a blow dyer outside in the cold...

[MeddyDuo]

Ok I was just thinking about this, if I took a blow dryer/hair dryer or whatever you want to call it, outside in freezing temps and turned it on, would it get fried? Because wouldn't condensation happen on its internals or something?

Why would you be using a blow dryer out in the cold in the first place?

If that was the case, everything electrical would fry.

Try it and let us know what happened.

I wouldn't I was just thinking about it.
I was thinking if I held it under the front of my car, so the hot air would rise into the engine bay and make it easier to start my car. But I wasn't going to do it, I was just thinking about it.

I already got it started after charging it for 3 hours, this was just a theoretical question.

I find that a nice big pool of motor oil does the same thing. Light it up with a blow torch and throw some pool chlorine in the mix just for kicks.

Heats the car right on up.

I've done it before.

extension cord + blow dryer > frozen locks.

You should just put a sweater on the engine the night before to keep it warm.
