This question is not meaningful since the air in the habitat will not have a homogeneous temperature distribution, even if it is moving slowly. For one thing, the air at the surface near the "equator" (if the endcaps are the north and south poles) will be warmer than the air on the axis. Due to endcap effect, the temperature will also vary along the length of the habitat. And this is not even considering if there are any strong air currents, clouds, etc. -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
