Leaving a fully inflated air pad inside a truck when the temperature climbs past 95 degrees?
Upgrade opportunity!

Boyle's law. I remember cajun bringing a bag of potato chips to PG one year. Yeah, it kinda inflated, but didn't burst. |

So, what pads are you looking at? I don't need a new pad. My newest one is less than 3 months old. NEMO. They replaced an older one that failed in April on a kayaking trip.

You know, at least one of mine actually warned about that sort of thing in the instructions.

BRILLIANT! Thank you! Now I can explain the new pad to my wife. Lead with the ideal gas law: once their eyes glaze over it’s an easy sell. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas_lawNote this also works for why you need a new sleeping bag/pad for higher elevations. Simply rearrange, solve for T! |

You and your science! The problem with physics is that it has too many laws. |

The problem with physics is that it has too many laws. It's especially problematic when the only physics one knows comes from watching the Big Bang Theory. |
