Would be nice to fix the units in the article.
In the 'fact sheet' box, the only correctly abbreviated unit is the 'km'. Every 'KWh' should be 'kWh', i.e. kilo and not Kelvin. Similarly, footnote 1 uses both kwh and KWh, neither of which are right. The numbers in the box are interesting, especially since I can't find them on the train's official site (where did they come from?).
The last row in the 'fact sheet' box says "Power of solar plant at station: 30Kwh". Should that be 30 kW? Or is there a battery at the station as well, in which case the text should probably be different. The train's own website (second link in the blog post) doesn't mention a battery at the station and refers to the connection to the grid as "just like a bank", which makes me think that the train is solar powered in a 'bookkeeping' sense.
Another nit is that San Francisco has "solar insolation" and not "insulation".
- ant6n 9y agofixed the typos, thanks. Various numbers in the box are links to articles where they are in the text.
- matthiasl 9y agoIt's changed, but not correct. Currently, all the units in the 'fact box' are KWh. That is "Kelvin Watt hours", which makes no sense. You want kWh, i.e. lower case 'k', upper case 'W', lower case 'h'. Wikipedia has a reasonable article explaining that 'K' is Kelvin and 'k' is the prefix for 10^3: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units Same problem in the footnotes, though MWh is correct, so that's good.
- ant6n 9y agoFair enough. I hope that one day, you'll Win the war against Incorrectly capitalized physical Units that still make sense Due to Context. :-)
