	Legendary Gamers » 8 megajoule Railgun Success
		The next test prototype to be delivered this June has 32 megajoules.
		The final spec for the railgun is 64 megajoules and will be completed on schedule.
		The prototype fired at Dahlgren is only an 8-megajoule electromagnetic device, but the one to be used on Navy ships will generate a massive 64 megajoules.

	Sandia National Laboratories - News Releases
		The accelerator, known as PBFA-Z (Particle Beam Fusion Accelerator, Z-Pinch version), produced increasingly powerful bursts of energy -- 1.0 megajoules in early October, 1.2 megajoules in mid-October, and 1.8 megajoules in November.
		A megajoule is a million joules -- a unit of energy.
		Exceeding the production of 1.8 megajoules of X-rays, while an important milestone, is simply one more step in a series of accelerator improvements based on continually improving Sandia expertise in high-energy density physics and pulsed-power engineering that stretches back for more than a decade.

	Energy of the Sun around us (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The solar radiation - radiation energy of the Sun - is the main power source of atmospheric processes; it is measured by a heat quantity and expresses in megajoules on 1 sq.m.
		By red lines with digits the isolines of a total solar radiation in megajoules on 1 sq.m are indicated.
		The calculations demonstrate, that quantity of a solar energy, which one reachs the ground’s surface in Ukraine, nowadays considerably prevails existing usage of energy from borning of coal, oil, gas and obtained from atomic power stations.

	Innovations of the Next Half Century
		People do talk about biomass energy production, but its efficiency is twenty times less than the 400 megajoules per square meter per year that I was presuming.
		At 20 megajoules per square meter per year, a three terawatt rate requires 400 million hectares of surface (one billion acres), which is more than twice the areas of US arable land.
		At 400 megajoules per square meter per year a three terawatt rate requires 20 million hectares of surface (50 million acres), which is a bit more than 10% of the US arable land.

	AR.net >> Discussion Forum >> RE: Is the ALF a cult?
		Assuming the energy value of grain is 12 megajoules (and dry matter is 90%) and that of hay is 8.5 megajoules (87% dry matter), then 1 kg of grain is approximately equal to 1.5 kg of hay in feeding value.
		For example, using 12 megajoule (MJ) grain and 8.5 MJ hay, and assuming the hay is 85% dry matter (DM) and the grain is 90% DM, the 60 MJ requirement for the dry cow in Table 1 can be supplied from 9 kg hay or 4.5 kg hay and 3 kg grain.
		The quantity of hay in the table assumes all requirements are being met from hay and the hay is of reasonable quality (8.5 megajoules per kg.

	Joules, Kilojoules and Megajoules (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		You also learnt that 1 joule is quite a small value and so the kilojoule or megajoule are often better units to use when measuring energy (recall, you can give two eggs approximately one joule of potential energy by lifting them 1 metre above the ground - not very hard is it!).
		Relating the kilojoule and megajoule back to the basic unit for energy, the joule, is easy:
		For large scale energy conversion, for example the energy conversion that goes on at an electric power station, even the units of kilojoules (kJ) and megajoules (MJ) are not practical.

	Star Wars vs Star Trek Technology: ST Power Generation
		Without knowing why they used megajoules as units (particularly in a fact-checked document as opposed to a stray spoken word), we cannot determine what time factor should be applied (naturally, Federation cultists assume that the time factor is 1/s in the absence of evidence).
		This may simply be incompetence; they might have meant "megawatts" but their scientific knowledge is so poor that they used "megajoules" instead; of course, this kind of incompetence casts doubt on all of their figures (spoken or written), but that should not be surprising from such a primitive society.
		If we use the almost universal Federation cultist assumption that the units of megajoules are actually an error, and should be megawatts, then this means that the power requirement for achieving warp 1 is approximately 20 GW, and the power requirement for maintaining warp 1 is approximately 200 MW.

		The most powerful laser project under construction is the National Ignition Facility, a $1.2 billion facility slated for completion in 2003, in which the beam from 196 lasers will deliver nearly 2 megajoules of power to a millimeter-sized target, reproducing the temperatures within stars.
		Plasma astrophysics is currently being done with machines called pulsed-power generators, which currently operate in the 0.5-2 megajoules range and are located at Sandia National Laboratories and Los Alamos National Laboratory.
		Under construction is Atlas, a large pulsed power generator for studying instabilities in the various states of matter.

	IEER Report: Dangerous Thermonuclear Quest
		Assuming a one percent efficiency in the coupling of the energy in the explosive to the fuel pellet, about one megajoule of explosive energy would be required, amounting to about 200 grams of high explosive.
		Thus, one megajoule of driver energy could be stored in a volume of 0.1 cubic meter.
		This is still far greater than the volume for the same energy in a chemical explosive, yet it is small enough to enable a wire-array z-pinch device using a few milligrams of D-T fuel to be portable.

		In 1972, a cheaper Type II trajectory left on April 4, took 170 days and cost 4.1 megajoules per kilogram.
		Type I trips result in communications distances of around 60 million kilometers between Venus and Earth, upon probe arrival.

		However, energy consumption for every dollar of inflation-adjusted gross domestic product (GDP) - a measure of the energy intensity of the economy - declined during this 40-year period.
		In 1961, it took about 15.0 megajoules of energy to produce a dollar of economic output.
		Oil prices dropped dramatically in 1986, after which energy consumption per dollar of real GDP stabilized at around 12.5 megajoules.

	The Ethicurean: Chew the right thing. » Blog Archive » How green is your rice?
		Pretty and Ball give an energy input for Bangladeshi “traditional deepwater rice” of 400 megajoules per metric ton (a joule is a unit of energy, and a megajoule, abbreviated as MJ, is 1 million joules; a metric ton is 1,000 kg) and 11,000 MJ per ton for California rice.
		A “TEU” is a 20-foot container, so this ship carries the equivalent of 1,500 20-foot shipping containers from the Port of Chittagong, Bangladesh, to the Port of Oakland, California, an over-water distance of 14,920 km (from Port World Calculator).
		For a 1,500 TEU container ship, the energy usage is 0.165 megajoules per ton per km, or 5.96 MJ to carry a 2.5 kg bag of rice from Bangladesh to Oakland.

		Conventional industrial electrolysis takes about 18...21.6 megajoules of electrical energy per one cubic meter of produced hydrogen, and total energy consumption including production of electrical energy itself is about 50 megajoules per one cubic meter.
		One cubic meter of conditional working volume of the generator operating at optimum mode (at efficiency factor 86...98%) is able to make 3.5 cubic meter of hydrogen and 2.2 megajoules of electrical energy per second.
		Because of use in the process free heat the cost of producing one cubic meter of hydrogen is decreased to $0.0038.

		Nuclear fusion has been studied for decades and it was well known that a neutron or a proton is nearly always emitted from each fusion event.
		The number of neutrons emitted to generate megajoules of heat would be more than sufficient to kill researchers observing the cell.

		Granted the beam power required to penetrate jumps from 200 kilojoules to 20 megaJoules, but now if we have an uncertainty in the target's velocity of up to 5 meters per second it doesn't matter.

		After a failed transport of two in "The Outcast," a shuttle is down to 34%, using 10 megajoules.

		But there are almost no data on actual energy service outputs per unit of energy input (lumens of light, cubic meters of air moved, computing power or use, tonnes raised in lifts, etc.).
		Hence, the usual measure of energy intensity, megajoules per unit of output in economic terms (mJ/$), can be a useful indicator provided it is clear that this summarizes many processes and types of buildings.
		Unit: Energy is measured in megajoules (mJ) or gigajoules (gJ) (net calorific value).
