Anyone know the physics/thermodynamics of kilts??

Really guys, I'm not trying to be snobby or anything.
It's just that I used to teach Physics. That's how, when I was flying Apaches, I got the call sign "Mr. Wizard" hence now that I live in Canada - The Wizard of BC

You should change that to wizard of BK(being Killted)!!

So, it would seem a kilted soul standing around a campfire on a cold night would have the advantage over a bifurcated fool....paying close attention to not overheating the snaps/buttons of course

Not to be snobby or anything, (Just a show off) But the principle demonstrated with blowing over a sheet of paper is Bournoulli's law. Lift is the effect of the law.

<---nerd smiley

Of course It is. And I don't mind you being a show off. I said lift because he was using the paper as an illustration which is a good way to illustrate how a plane can rise off the ground.

Or a kilt lift over your head Of course there's always the parachute effect in updrafts.

Now if you wanted to know about the accoustic properties...what?...oh, okay then,nevermind.

keeping the cold out in ur explanations ok.
buut wind underneath the kilt will change the situation i guess... the wind is the ennemy before temeprature.
what about weraing knee lenght leggings, i ll try this..?

I'm thinking gaiters like are worn for showshoeing and cross country skiing. They'd be warm and windproof.

[mcnice]

sure u mean gaiters to wear from shoes up to knee. good idea, but then also a legging coming from the seat near down the knees; just long as not to be seen in kilt when sitting.
i see me in the underground in gaiters ;)
