It comes out to about 0.4 liters per square foot, for those of you who are confused.

  What's that in bathtubs per football field?
  • rstupek 7y ago
    well an NFL football field is approximately 5351 m2 so about 8000 gallons. not sure how big your bathtub might be though
  • rdiddly 7y ago
    Layman's Explanation Greatest Hits right there. Except I was actually curious so I converted it. Assuming a 30-gal tub, it's about 267 tubs/field-hour.

      Hrm - "To start, the standard bathtub will hold roughly around 80 gallons (302 liters) of water. Much smaller bathtubs can only hold around 40 gallons (150 liters) of water, which typically are more suited for smaller children or function more as a shower space." 30 gal seems too small.

    EDITED: bathtub ≈ 302 liters football field = 5351 square meters They achieved 5.78 L/m^2/h So 5351 m^2/football field * 5.78 L/m^2/h = 30928.78 L/h/football field 30928.78 L/h/football field / 302 L/bathtub = 102.4 bathtubs/football field/hour h/t to brudgers for the correction about football field surface area!

      A football field is 5351m^2. Futbol pitches vary.

  That means for every square rod of surface area, this unit produces over 11,000 hogsheads of water! Impressive.

      How much water can I get in a moon?
      • 8bitsrule 7y ago
        If by 'moon' you mean our Moon, it has a volume of 2.1958×10^10 km3. Although, how much of that will hold water, we don't know. Anyway, a jerrycan is probably a lot more convenient ... holds 4.4 imp gals.
        • kragen 7y ago
          > 4.4 imp gals That's 0.062 cubic Flemish ells, for those who were wondering.

          I really meant a month, but that was good :)

  It also makes the Kessel run in 1.21 JiggaParsecs.

  Or, let's see... 5.7 millimeters!
