hahahaha
thats a good one :D
may i add something...
where is your factoring of food ?
calories used = total calories ingested and produced through photosynthesis and digestion ?
i assume you are basing your rate of burning at a point of rest for the average person or is that an athlete in training?
:D

ok
here is a thought
RE "more powerful"
a human can produce another human
a light bulb can not produce another light bulb
even a whole wharehouse of light bulbs with fine wine and dancing...
still they will not produce more lightbulbs

:D

I hardly use 100-watt light bulbs any more. The old-fashioned ones remaining in my house are 60-watts at most, which makes me almost 60% more technically powerful.

I am building a solar cooker right now. I hear that sunlight has a power density of 1300 watts per square meter, measured perpendicular to the rays on a clear day.

i'm not sure, but i believe the calories measured on the back of food labels are really kilo-calories. so we actually consume about 2,000,000 standard caloric units a day.


see Q5 http://www.hpb.gov.sg/hpb/default.asp?pg_id=1462

Mmh, I can smash a lightbulb, guess I am more powerful, also, without a human, the bulb would not be connected to the energy source, it would not be created at all.

And I think that I am eating more than the daily value of 2000 kcal... and use it up accordingly.

Even if your math is correct, what you're really saying is that a lightbulb consumes more energy than a human.

Maybe a human uses their consumed energy more efficiently. ;)

I like to eat a bit more. I can better the bulb.
2400 kcal / 24 hr = 100 kcal/hr = 27.8 cal/sec = 116.38 J/s = 116 W
By the way your brain uses 20% of that, around 23W.
