Question:

Would a whole house fan work?

If it is always humid and hot outside would a whole house fan be required?

Answer:

central a/c works bettersuch a whole house fan would only be useful at night, when it can draw in cooler air from outsidesuch a fan is useful in the attic and for the attic - the sun beating down of the roof raises attic temps well beyond those of the surrounding air and thus the fan exhausts heated air and replaces it with cooler, keeping the whole house coolerthis attic fan is NOT a substitute for sufficient insulation in the ceiling - which most rent houses do not have as landlord has no incentive to pay for the installation
No, but it can protect you from finding friends and a spouse.
Aluminium will not work It has to be made out of a magnetic material that is, iron cobalt or nickel
You should get a steel hat, not an aluminum one.
nothat's an old wives' taleCopper does the trick.
