Quote from: 18hammers on Nov 22, 2023, 02:24 PMA have to flesh that number out more, I ment 1 kwh a day net. I am going by working him 12 hrs a day, every day (he is a slave after all) assuming 100 watts output an hour, the extra 200whrday are energy requirements needed for his own food production, medical care clothing and such. I base the power produced by my own estimates and experience in cycling. Though I would make a poor slave at my age as I can only sustain 50 to 75 watt output on my bike. I do have power meters on ( Volts, amps, and watts) my electric bikes so I can measure my own contribution. I believe 1kwh a day to be a reasonable estimate.Quote from: RE on Nov 22, 2023, 01:11 PMIt is a hard number to quantify, some assumptions need to be made but roughly if a young fit slave you should net 1kwh of work from him, less as they age.Quote from: K-Dog on Nov 22, 2023, 11:04 AMAs Diners know a barrel of oil is worth 20,000 energy slaves.
I didn't know the math that way. According to Jason Heppenstall, Homo Saps on the planet are the equivalent of 22 Billion Energy Slaves. Divide by 8 Billion people, 1 person= ~3 Energy Slaves. How much is an energy slave worth? 1 gallon of gas? 1 Kw of electricity? 1 Joule? 1 BTU? Dunno.
