What's a Gigawatt???

Recommended Posts

Gigawatt

Watt = A unit of measure for work, that is, measured at the rate of one joule per second.

Kilowatt = 1,000 watts

Megawatt = 1,000 kilowatts

Gigawatt = 1,000 megawatt

Sooo.... 1 GW = 1,000,000,000 W

HOORAY FOR NOT GETTING IT

I wonder what kind of cake you give a flux capacitor?

Don't you get gold for 50? I suppose Mr. Fusion would like that...

As a kid I once got a 1/18 RC DeLorean for Christmas. You could recharge its batteries by plugging the flux capacitor to a power outlet. Great fun!

Poor DeLorean... They shouldn't have f*cked with the Sidhe.

Fuel's paradise? Power source that turns physics on its head

· Scientist says device disproves quantum theory
· Opponents claim idea is result of wrong maths

It seems too good to be true: a new source of near-limitless power that costs virtually nothing, uses tiny amounts of water as its fuel and produces next to no waste. If that does not sound radical enough, how about this: the principle behind the source turns modern physics on its head.

Maybe this is happening because any sub-shells in the 1st energy shell have been previously ignored/unatainable. In atoms, the energy differences in a shell is great enough to the extent where the highest energy electrons in the third shell have more energy than the lowest energy ones in the fourth shell. (See the transistion metals for this. Generally, the third shells electrons are increasing with number with the first two fourth level electrons already being filled)
