I wasn't commenting on whether the figures were correct, just that the poster was measuring the wrong thing. Joules are a unit of energy, Watts measure the rate of energy. Yes, I know the difference.
The original poster's statement was meaningless. Read it carefully.
Watts, Joules, Volts and Amps are not just interchangable terms which mean 'energy stuff'. If people don't know what they mean, they should stick to Crystal Therapy.
Go ahead mod me 'troll', I don't care. I'm sick of New Age Science masquerading as the real thing.
"the gasoline nozzle pumps 3 MEGAWATTS of energy into your gas tank in 2 minutes"
Do you mean WATTS or JOULES?
Don't know the difference?
Then please don't post on technical issues.
