hahahaha thats a good one Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! 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?

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 Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
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. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
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.
