http://hilaroad.com/camp/projects/lemon/1lemon_meter.jpg .9 Volts!
My whole setup uses ~400 watts Whats a watt? I dunno, I think it is just another way of saying volts.
With just 400 or so lemons I can easily play EVE for up to six hours on a single set of lemons.
400 lemons per six hours = a little less than a minute per lemon.
According to the USDA: http://www.ams.usda.gov/mnreports/fvwretail.pdf
There are 43 lemons per pound. so every pound is 43 minutes of EVE
Alibaba will ship me 15kg or ~33lbs of lemons for as little as $10 http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/536715791/Anyue_Grade_A_Fresh_Yellow_lemon.html
33lbs * 43 lemons = 1,419 minutes of EVE per $10 crate.
~23 hours rounding down,
Average of about 40 hours of EVE a week, rounding up for patching that's ~$20 or two cases of lemons per week.
$20 a week worth of lemon powered EVE.
$80 a month.
Just under $1000 per year.
$1000/$10 = 100 cases
100 cases * 33 lbs = 3,300 lbs of lemons.
43 lemons per pound * 3,300 lbs of lemons
And all it takes is 141,900 Lemons
Playing EVE the enviroMENTAL way... Priceless
But the lemon's have it. You can play EVE off-grid where big brother can't find you, for $1000 a year or ~ 3,300 lbs of lemons per year. |

It's a shame that you won't be able to make lemonade with all of those lemons though :( |

If you live near a pond or a lake, you can throw the used up lemon juice in it afterwards. Good old commercial dumping never hurt anyone. How do you turn that off, or a power surge. People are doing genetic changes to fruits and vegies, so you might get a few overly potent lemons every now and then. I will not be voting in the CSM election, so you need to go vote to make up for me. |

At first I was like, that's pretty neat. Then I was like, wait a minute, I think it takes more then 9v to run my computer. I mean, I plug it into a wall that puts out 120v or something, and my power supply is more than 9v. |

Don't let them sour you on your idea Tom. If this works, you can have a party. A lemon party. "I don't know which is worse, ...that everyone has his price, or that the price is always so low." Calvin

Tom Gerard wrote:Whats a watt? To answer this question, 1 Watt isn't just the same as 1 Volt. Watts are calculated by multiplying the Voltage and Amperage over any given component in an electric circuit. In the case of your lemons, the chemicals inside create 0.9 Volts, not Watts, and 0.0003 Amperes, giving you roughly 0.00027 Watts. While your argument might be good you lacked a bit of knowledge about the different terms, causing confusion. If you want to power your 400W computer using lemons, you need to acquire 1,481,481.5 lemons per hour. Somehow, I doubt that's worth it, unless you have a lemon farm and a factory that creates lemon batteries for you
Sorry to burst your bubble, but you may want to do some research next time |

Meh, rather spoil it than end up with hundreds of whine-threads because the one-lemon-per-minute thing doesn't work. Which would you rather have? And you can only pick one option. |

Thought the thread was going to be about using a software tool (I believe one was called Citrus). Ended up confused, then laughing through the thread (because I kept substituting 'potato' in OP).
Very good anyway. +1, but also inb4 OOPE. ;-)
I may have come here from Myst Online, but that does not make me any less bloodthirsty than the average Eve player.
Just more subtle.
