Default Calories/Hour == Watts?


What is interesting is that a human needs an energy equivalent of ~10
power bars to produce these ~200 watts. These 10 powerbars weigh what,
a pound? Now, a kilowatt electric battery in a 1kW electric scooter
weighs what, 50 pounds? Pretty amazing how the human body can extract
energy from "biodiesel".


"We don't know who struck first. Us or them. But we do know it was
us that scorched the sky. At the time, they were dependent on solar
power. It was believed they would be unable to survive without an
energy source as abundant as the sun. Throughout human history, we
have been dependent on machines to survive. Fate, it seems, is not
without a sense of irony."


I am impressed, JT!
