Minor pet peeve: Energy density is energy per volume (in GJ/m^3, for example, or Wh/litre, or whatever). -> "X density" = X per volume What's discussed here

Minor pet peeve:
Energy density is energy per volume (in GJ/m^3, for example, or Wh/litre, or whatever).
-> "X density" = X per volume
What's discussed here is specific energy, ie energy per mass (in Wh/kg, or whatever).
-> "specific X" = X per mass
The latter is particularly relevant for aviation, needless to say.
- acyou 4y agoYou're right, and it's not just a minor pet peeve. It's a major error that recurs throughout the article and it destroys the credibility of the website and reporter. They even refer to "energy intensity", which as far as I am concerned doesn't refer to anything.
