A Watt (W) is a unit of power. 1 J/s (Joule per second) = 1 W (Watt). Because the Watt is a small unit power of a device is rated in kW or BTU/hr. 1kW (KiloWatt) = 3414 BTU/hr. Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engine's horsepower before the loss in power...
We use BTU to watt conversion quite a lot in our rankings. Example: You can check alist of the best quietest space heaters here. You will notice that you can calculate both how much noise can a heater make both in watts (how many watts per dB) and BTUs (how many BTUs per dB)....
It is named after James Watt, a Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer. One Watt equates to one joule of energy per second. In electrical systems, power (Watts) is calculated by multiplying voltage (Volts) by current (Amps). Ampere (Amp) An Ampere, often shortened to Amp, is the ...
I'll get to that in a sec. But briefly, any sort of energy is measured in terms of Joules. A joule of electrical energy can move from place to place along the wires. When you transport one joule of energy through a channel every second, the flow-rate of energy is 1 Joule/Sec, an...
Did you know that a university can expect to save 200,000 kilowatt-hours per year, or about $17,000 in energy bills, for every 1,000 university monitors? EnergyStar believes that this can be achieved by simply reducing the amount of energy computers use on a daily basis by using either...
By Christopher Monckton of Brenchley Well, we sent out our paper On an error in defining temperature feedback to a leading journal for review. The reviewers did not like it at all. “And, gracious! How Lord Lundy cried!” We are persevering, though, for
I hear this appeal to authority/black and white fallacy from climate believalists as well, “Do you have a better explanation other than CO2 for the increase in temperature over the last 50 years?” Since there are no such reasons, then he next has to offer an alternative hypothesis for ...
When discussing climate with people who do not have technical backgrounds, I have learned much of the climate discussion is a foreign language to them. Phrases like “Dalton minimum” or “Atlantic multidecadal oscillation” make their eyes glaze over. Once, after I explained what causes wind, ...
From aStanford University Newspress release. Researchers have long wondered why water on Earth was not frozen during the early days of the planet, when the sun emanated only 70 to 75 percent as much energy as it does today. Some theorize that high levels of greenhouse gases in the a...
in 2017 by “a comfortable margin”. But in fact, it is warmer by only 8 zettajoules … which is less than the claimed 2018 error. So no, that is not a “comfortable margin”. It’s well within even their unbelievably small claimed error, which they say is ± 9 zettajoule for ...
