Work = Force*distance, so theoretically the number of Joules would be mgh^2.

- schoen 12y agoYour units got messed up there -- it's just mgh. There's no reason to square the distance. $ units Currency exchange rates from 2013-07-11 2562 units, 85 prefixes, 66 nonlinear units You have: 1000 kg gravity 1 km You want: J * 9806650 / 1.0197162e-07
- bsilvereagle 12y agoThat's what I get for doing intermediate thermo & fluids all day and then trying to make a comment on basic dynamics. Thanks for the catch.
- schoen 12y agoSure. This is also neglecting the compressed air part of this technology (which thermodynamics might actually be quite appropriate for modelling!).
