- thunderbong 7y agoWhy?
- srathi 7y agoSorry. It is a Back To The Future movie reference. The time travel machine uses exactly 1.21 Gigawatt.
- commandlinefan 7y agoWhat the hell is a gigawatt?
- DanBC 7y agoA watt is a measure of power. It measures the power at that instant of time. A watt-hour is a measure of energy. It measures the power used over time. Giga is an SI prefix. 1 gigawatt is 1*10^9 watts. It's normal to measure the output of power plants in megawatts or gigawatts.
- SupersonicScrub 7y agoGreat Scott, it's a Back to the Future reference, not a serious question.
- TheGallopedHigh 7y agoJokes are generally frowned upon here, and are often asked to be kept on Twitter or Reddit. This keeps the comment quality high here.
- gmadsen 7y ago10^9 watts? a watt is a unit of power
- overcast 7y agoI'm actually flabbergasted by the number of people who on here who don't know this reference.
