- tomatotomato37 8y agoI concede the ambiguous 7 item thing, but where are you getting 120 watts from? The only figures I get from my googling say the entire human body only uses 100 watts on average, with 20% of that used by the brain.
- anticensor 8y agoHuman body consumes 100W at rest, ~300W at sedentary work, ~1kW at full power. Full power figures are based on appropriation of longitudinal draft ratings.
