Even non-engineers would know the difference between:
'How many horsepowers does this car have?' (Pmax)
and:
'How much gas is left in the tank?' (E)
I came here because you replied to me somewhere else and gave me a lecture about what witnesses do... While I have myself have signed like 3000 blocks and missed like 400, being a backup witnesss before it was cool 😅
Anyways, I'll leave a follow, and will keep correcting on the W and Wh confusion that has taken over the world and drives me insane, frankly.
Once we start measuring Energy in [W] and surface in [football-fields] we are doomed as a civilization.
Greetings from Germany.
I'm sorry, I don't mean to come across as lecturing. I think it might have been about why we have 20% HBD interest. As far as I can tell, it's just a random number the witnesses chose.
As for mixing up energy and power, I understand. And I do not disagree. You are correct. I am an amateur radio operator and I have also undergone training for PV systems. Both require a knowledge of:
All are variations of the interplay of power, voltage, resistance, and current.
But this blog post is about celebrating a small victory. For this, I have low technical standards.
It's funny. When I talk to my amateur radio friends, we constantly talk about the nerdy stuff: power, attenuation, SWR, ground planes, etc. But that switches off in mixed company. I guess this is a similar situation.
I didn't know until now, that you guys use (V) - In Germany it's (U)... [V] being the unit
I just memorized:
U = R * I (pronounced 'oory')
P = U * I (pronounced 'pooy')
And then I convert/insert until I get to whatever value I am looking for.
Anyways, congratz on the energy you harvested over time :)
