@Fire. No the fans needn`t be gigantic.
They wouldn't be gigantic. If they were large enough to move air significantly enough to move the water (centimeter in diameter, maybe?), and they had enough inside of them to move all of the water off of them in every angle, there would have to be hundreds. This would bulk them up and require MASSIVE amounts of energy. Some way to store the energy they needed would take up room beyond just the fans themselves. Were they to retain their shape somehow, they would be empty husks (maybe with the exceptions of the fans). They DO have other things inside of them.

The human body loses quite a big amount of fluids through lungs and microscopic holes on the skin. This has a drying effect, largely contributing to states like dehydration (this happens in pneumonia - and that`s a reason why you must drink alot than).
I hardly know how to respond to this. I feel like you HONESTLY think you're correct.
Okay, the "holes," are the
pores in your skin used specifically to release fluids and keep the body from heating. THIS IS PERSPIRATION.
The "holes" in your lungs are not holes at all. Were there any break in the area you're clearly referring to, your lungs would quickly fill with blood. The area you're THINKING of is where your body takes the oxygen from the gasses you inhale and separate the oxygen from the excess gasses.
I'll put this in a way you can understand: the oxygen passes through a
solid tissue and is added to your
red blood cells. The hemoglobin, blah, blah, blah.
That's how you breathe. This has nothing to do with hydration.
The pores in your skin and the loss of precious water due to them is both a blessing and a curse. You may lose water if you, say, walked around in a desert for a few hours, but NOT because they are releasing water and killing you, it's because they are PROTECTING you from the heat around you. The fluids are released to
absorb heat that would normally be going straight to you. The body maintains a very specific internal temperature not just for the fact that this is the temperature that your organs will operate properly at, but because the heat you might absorb in the outside world is too much and would kill you. This is happens to rabbits because they have a high body temperature and have no way to lower it besides waiting for the heat to dissipate from them. They
die from this. The pores in your skin stave off death. You might say "hey, dehydration can kill you too." This is true, but it's not nearly as much of a threat. This is why we drink water. This is why we live near water.

The fact that such "holes" exist doesn`t mean that if the body is immersed it`ll be flooded. Holes, even mechanically, can work only one way (letting the fluid from inside to outside and not vica-versa), or closed intentionally to prevent influx.
Holes work in only one way, yes. They let things move through them. You might fall into a hole by force of gravity, but a hole is, by definition, a flaw in some form of material. These flaws allow things to pass through them. Skin is very light and very stretchy, and this is why we can move it. This is why OUR bodies can close pores. A robot? Not so much. Most people can assume that a ROBOT will be make of metal. In Quotes case, this is most definitely for protection. It would require far too many small mechanisms to close each individual pore, provided they were as small and numerous as you appear to mean for them to be. Unless the metal were somehow organic and would allow for itself to be moved and controlled by itself. Look, dude, it doesn't work. End of story.
