Physics of gases

I've removed a wildly oversimplifying (but also wrong) explanation of the heating effect that conflated temperature, momentum, and pressure, and linked to adiabatic process for those who are interested in the non-obvious details of why this actually works. -- The Anome 08:30, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Factal Error

I removed this "By using the right sort of tinder a pressure of only about 3 pounds-force per square inch (20 kPa) will allow the tool produce a glowing coal." I author may have ment 3 pounds force on the piston. Note this article specifies the fire piston has a compression ratio of 25 to 1. theis means we have 24 atmosphears thats somthing like 1260 psi guage pressure. 3 psi is not even remotly close.68.83.199.209 (talk) 23:52, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
