A Simpler Explanation Of The Measurement Of ONE JOULE

yup, 1 joule= 1 watt-second

or 1 WH= 3600 joules

One Watt = one Joule/sec. I visualize an old 100W incandescent bulb as 100 J/sec. That comes in handy when people start talking about 100 KW lasers and such.

Or 200 to 360 joules — the amount of energy supplied with external defibrillation (AED). Shocking, isn’t it? ;)

My DH's ICD is set to 30 joules the first hit. 5 wasn't enough, but 30 does the trick. Course, it's inside with the wires directly in the heart.

I love modern technology.

There are 1,144,688 joules in an ounce of diesel fuel.

That sure jouled things up.

This is a real joul of a tech conversation

The e book universe are rife with doomsday scenarios of atomic EMP and mass coronal ejection end-of-life-as-we-know-it calamities.

The younger generation of authors is either ignorant as hell or they are predatory toward an obviously undereducated reading audience.

Science Fiction without much Science. I guess that's a lot like Historical Fiction.

Not exactly look up Starfish Prime for the EMP event and the Carrington Event for CME. Both very real. There are persistent reports of a small military EMP device that could take out a city block or two. And we dodged another Carrington size event in 2012 when the CME missed the Earth. So I'm not sure why you think these are fictional, lack of historical knowledge I suppose.
