An associate of its namesake built a bone digester and conceived the idea of a piston and cylinder engine. That man, Denis Papin, inspired Thomas Savery to build a machine implementing this principle. It was also discovered by Edme Mariotte, and deviations from it are expressed as the compressibility factor. It is used to calculate changes in the two quantities it relates, which are related to temperature in Gay-Lussac and Charles' Laws. For 10 points, name this law stating that pressure and volume of a gas in a closed system are inversely prop
