Stop trolling. You can't seriously be that stupid.
Do you understand the difference between power and energy?
Akita's original post is 100% correct assuming the average person eats 2000 kcal per day.
Yes. I do understand it. I'm thinking you're the one who doesn't understand it...
Then how do you conclude Akita's post is incorrect?
EDIT: I have NEVER stated that 1 kcal is not 1000 cal. In fact I stated exactly that in different units. |

Aside from my first reply with a minor discrepancy about how the efficiency of the human body and my mistake in thinking that a food calorie is the same as a calorie (they're both called calories... my mistake for thinking that they're the same unit... still perplexing to me at how we use the same unit name but one is 1000 of the other), I haven't said his post is incorrect. I'm saying you are incorrect, though, because Akita is mentioning average power which is completely different from the power output of an average human being.

You responded with a reply about food calories and calories when I said a kilocalorie is 1000 calories, in an attempt to correct me. I am right. A kilocalorie is 1000 calories. |

Originally by: Akita T There's no practical difference between saying "consumes on average 100W" or "total average daily power usage is 2.4 kWh" or "average daily consumption is 8.64 GJ" or "average daily usage is 2000 kcal", it's the same thing.
You're right, there's not. However, average daily power is useless in the context of the power output you need at a given time. If you want to find out how much you charge people for a month for power roughly, sure, its a decent number, but it doesn't say anything about the power load on the grid at a certain time of the day. The same applies with human beings.
Ok, let's rephrase that then. "The average daily food energy consumption of a mostly sedentary adult human is roughly the same as the daily electric energy consumption of a 100W lightbulb constantly turned on". Which, to me, says exactly the same thing as the initial post, namely, "a human needs about as much energy to live as it takes an old style lightbulb to function". |

I have professors that would start seizing over a comment like this, and then start cursing at you in various languages.
Let me rephrase it for you.
"If a 100 watt light bulb were on for an entire day, then a human being with an average amount of activity corresponding to an average exercise amount (time and intensity) over the entire world would have the same average daily power consumption in the form of food as that light bulb consumes." |

You got the main idea from the start, you realize it's ROUGHLY accurate, you're being needlessly picky. |

ped+ant 1. a person who makes an excessive or inappropriate display of learning. 2. a person who overemphasizes rules or minor details. 3. a person who adheres rigidly to book knowledge without regard to common sense. 4. Obsolete . a schoolmaster.
Origin: 1580û90; < Italian pedante teacher, pedant; apparently akin to pedagogue; see -ant
ùRelated forms ped+ant+esque, adjective ped+ant+hood, noun
ùSynonyms 2. hairsplitter.
pedant 1.a person who relies too much on academic learning or who is concerned chiefly with insignificant detail 2.archaic a schoolmaster or teacher
The mere assumption of a 2,000 calorie diet (sofa king evident on every nutritional label, at least in the U.S.) establishes the proper context for the exercise.
EDIT: Argue with this:
The USDA 2,000 calorie diet contains very nearly the equivalent electrical energy delivered to the light socket consumed by a 100W incandescent light bulb left on for 24 hours.
Sheesh...
EDIT 2: figured I needed to be specific about the type of light bulb, energy and source... |

Even more interesting is that our brain runs on about 20 watts of power, and yet we have 100 billion neurons. Compare this to your modern day processor which has just 2.6 billion transistors, but consumes 130 watts of power. |
