I have access to "the CRC handbook" for chemical engineers & looked up a table showing various conductive values for gasses. This table shows that, at room temperature, argon gas will conduct 41cal/sec, air conducts about 60cal/sec, and carbon dioxide gas conducts 35cal/sec (the lower the value - the better the insulator). Has anyone tried CO2 gas to fill a suit? This seems to be a much more economical solution to keeping warm... --------------------------------------------------------- Get Your *Web-Based* Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com --------------------------------------------------------- -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
