Wattvision: Understanding your electricity meter with Wolfram Alpha
- jrockway 17y agoOf course, many other tools can do this almost-trivial unit conversion for you. Unless you have forgotten how many seconds are in a minute or how many foos are in a kilofoo, you should be able to do this in your head...
- likpok 17y agoThis does not actually showcase the power of Wolfram Alpha. For instance, Google will do unit conversions aw well. Now, if you wanted to integrate that...
- savrajsingh 17y agoReally? "7.2 watt-hours in 15 seconds in watts" doesn't "just work" in google. Can you post a one-liner that does the same calculation in google or other site?

- savrajsingh 17y agoThat calculation is not the same one I'm asking for. It's not watts per hour as you've written -- it's actually watt-hours (watt * hour). The answer is also incorrect -- it's not 0.03 watts -- it's 1730 watts. So my request still stands -- show me a one-liner for my original calculation. It's not as simple as you think. ;) Ok I did some more experimentation and discovered this: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ei=ePsUSs_lJ6HqtQP7l8WqCQ&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=7.2+watt+hours+per+15+seconds+in+watts&spell=1 http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ei=ePsUSs_lJ6HqtQP7l8...
