This is absolutely correct.  Also, you need to lie the doubles down on their
side.  If they are standing up, gravity will pull the gas thru the valves at
too fast  of a rate thereby causing additional heat buildup.  This can be
offset to some degree if the moon is full, as the gravitational pull of the
moon will have an upward pull on the gas thereby providing some reduction in
friction and hence cooling the stream.

This stuff is serious.  Make sure you go only to trained professionals!
