Re: [RC] Equipedic - Phase Change - Ed & Wendy Hauser"...showed that their skin temps and core temps were lowered for over an hour. Also it said that when the material was removed from the heat source (the person)it recharged..." To make an informed judgment one would need more information: 1. What exercise were the people doing during the test? 2. In the horse pad, what is the weight of "phase change material" in the pad? (also the size of the pad) 3. What is the temperature of the "phase change", and how much heat (calories or BTU) is absorbed per unit weight. Given this data one could calculate if the amount of heat absorbed would be enough of the total excess heat produced by the horse to make a difference. I still suspect, that the amount of heat is such a small amount of the total that one would not experience a substantial benefit.
