"Earth Power Lodges" generate 1MW/hr of electricity and yield biochar by cultivating algae in a closed environment. It reminds me of nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qgnwaehxw309ac82unsd3jhqct89ejhxtcpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9uqzqcufhejfreakj05lx68vaz8u69zlqlqx35kphwhyy3aekhh588fjlhcfsd ' forest walker, great integrated galaxy brain idea.
Trigger warning: what follows is annoyingly pedantic, especially since it was probably a typo, but..
Megawatts or watts by themselves already have the time unit in them, so saying 1MW/hr is like saying more joules of energy *per second* every hour. Technically that means that every hour it somehow has another megawatt of power (just wait, by the end of the day we should be at 24MW! Nobody would actually think that’s what it is meant to mean though… so not a big deal.
it just means the system is capable of emitting that much force in some form within the time period specified, and the thing that is missing from teh understanding is that this must be applied to a load, which has inertia in some form, and the higher the watt/hour the faster you can overcome that inertia (steady state with no change of velocity, be that linear or rotational) or forces of torsion which underlie all forms of resistive heat
