Subject: insulating properties of argon gas
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...
