Title: How big would I have to make this?
Post by: nwman on June 24, 2008, 01:22:32 AM
I'm not sure if this is the best category to ask this question but here it goes. I have a design for a generator that I know works, and know exactly how much power it will produce given its size. I'm just not familiar with how much power it needs to produce to be feasible. The small design of it will make about 40,000J a day. It increases equality proportionate to its size. So how many time bigger does it need to be to equal, for example, a large damn? Or how much would be needed to power a state or the whole U.S for a day?
