Thank you for posting a concise description of the transfer of energy.
Your last paragraph describing a butane/gasoline combustion chamber is the model of a hand/body-part warmer I purchased three decades ago. It used common cigarette lighter fuel and a rather complex method of steel on flint to ignite the chamber which is now subject to "child-protection" locks on your favorite brand of BIC lighters.. The spare "pint" of fuel could also be used as an emergency flair should one want to be noticed by airborne rescue.
The heat-generating jacket might not be desirable in a hostile military situation negating fears of the projectile passing the Kelvar protected lithium through ones body.
Many have denigrated cotton in this thread as retaining water in the form of sweat. If I recall correctly, scuba divers rely on water *inside* their wet-suits to keep them warm.
Even when the temperature is mid-eighty (F,) I find myself chilled and confronted by a cotton towel,
Motorcycles have also been mentioned. In my opinion, they are inexperienced as riding in the slip-stream of a large truck greatly reduces the need for special clothing; the wind being nil and the heat generated by the truck sufficient for warmth. Of course, riding five to ten feet behind a truck is not for the inexperienced or the faint of heart.
Back to the article posted. I have never been a fan of those sleeveless jackets. While they do provide protection against upper respiratory infraction, the human body vacates heat in the feet, head and hands, in that order: When I sleep and feel an elevated temperature, I expose my feet to the open air to regulate my body temperature. When the ambient temperature is mid-ninety, placing my feet in 30,000 gallons of eighty degree water is sufficient to adjust my body temperature. Your mileage may vary.
I own three Eddie Bauer Coats; the eldest dating back three decades. It cost $US300. The most recent is a decade old. They each have their temperature range and buoyancy. When I inquired about obtaining a new "hood," the manager told me that he did not have *any* coat in my knee-length style which brought *envy* to everyone in the store. So I bought a knit cap.
114 degrees unregulated can cause damage if left unchecked. Methinks the article meant to say that 114 degrees might compensate for the differential of 98.6F and -40C.
Someone in this thread mentioned dropping in water. A friend of mine did that (Navy Trained) and drowned trying to save his dog on an ice floe. The first thing I would pitch in freezing water is *anything* that might hold me down; coat (electric or otherwise,) shoes (My Timberland boots have served me well) and the twenty pounds of Exide batteries.
The EB Goose Down does provide minimal flotation. ScotchGuard provides a few extra seconds, but I am not willing to be dropped into a crevice of a glacier to test the speculation.
For those who are interested, an AC (Alternating Current) blanket disturbs my sleep, and NO it does not "buzz" or make any noises.
Block, Ignore, Delete. Net effect: Nothing - The spammer still spams.
Most effective is drilling down to their "payment provider" including the full headers of the spam and mentioning that the payment provider, aka credit card processor has an anti-spam policy.
Dozens of spammers were left with a product to sell, but no way for anyone to purchase the product.
SpamCop was an excellent tool to provide a complete history of the "chain of evidence."
Do not try this with SpamCop unless you want to be banned from reporting, as was I for "altering" the spam even though there is no FAQ regarding this and the SpamCop Deputies continue to encourage users to alter the spam when SpamCop chokes on fake HTML headers and ones name is embedded in the spam.
I received a single warning eMail and upon questioning the policy, instant ban with no explanation via email or the ng.
For now, I hit delete and adopt the attitude of SpamCop "filters" which simply hide it from view.

Run 100 amp service/wire to the room. $2US/foot. Make sure that your drop from the pole is 200 amp. Your utility company provides this for free as long as you have the proper wiring in place at *your* end of the plant.
All of my UPS's beep at 0600 ET when the Edison Cap kicks in to compensate for the industrial load in my area. Without the UPS's my machines would re-boot at the 25ms interruption.
I consider myself luckey being twelve inches from the transformer.
Install a dimmer switch on a lamp. Start your washing machine. If the lamp blinks, your service is inadequate.
Place the racks on turntables with bookcases on the other side. Build a nice antique-looking table where the front cover slides to reveal the keyboard(s) and raises the monitors to a comfortable 45 degree reading angle. You've seen the Bond movie: "Just Like Home."
Add the door switch or motion sensor for the alarm system so all screens go to screen-saver mode with your official looking logo (RCMP?) popping up as the lighting changes to red. (AKA, a recent JAG episode.)
Others have answered the cooling question, but this will have your friends, clients, police, etc, saying "COOL!"

DEBUG is an excellent tool for renaming directories in ms/pc-DOS. E5 W CHKDSK is still faster than DELTREE/y.
Granted it is a tad more difficult on a mega-gig hd, but that's what hex editors are for.
