SI UNITS (SYSTEME IRREGULIER D’UNITES)

 

 

 

            1 power plant = 109 W

 

            1 person (small) = 1 light bulb = 100 W = 2065 kilocalories/day

 

            1 world = 1013 W (power consumption, solar power not included)

 

            1 solar world = 1.7 x 1017 W (incident solar power, top of earth’s atmosphere)

 

            1 sun = 3.8 x 1026 W (total output power)

 

            1 jelly donut (JD) = 106 J

 

            1 kWh = 3.6 JD

 

            1 flashlight battery (D cell) = 1.6 x 104 J = 0.016 JD

 

            1 mosquito pushup = 1 erg = 10-13 JD

 

            1 barrel of oil = 6 x 109 J = 6000 JD

 

            1 pizza (p) = 107 J = 10 JD (medium, with sausage and pepperoni)

 

1 Pizza (P) = 1017 J = 1011 JD (one half of the energy released in the annihilation

of a pizza and an antipizza)
