Tonka Crash

I realize this is way late, and it is a bit of a criticism (thus the PM)

I wound up taking a really good look at your ECSmelter.cfg you send me, and started pulling my hair out at the manipulations of kWh.

I appreciate your efforts (and will still use your cfg as a base), but I absolutely have to fix the math. The problem is most people I've talked to simply don't understand the concept of Wh (Watt-hours).

One Watt-hour is 1W for one hour (not 1W per hou). 1W (one Watt) is 1J/s (one Joule per second). That is, a 100W light bulb consumes 100J every second. When that light has been on for one hour, it consumes 100 Watt-hours, or 360,000 Joules.

1W/h means that power consumption is increasing by 1W every hour (somebody is slowly turning up the dial).

Thus 1kWh (kilo-Watt-hour) is 3.6MJ (note the lack of a time unit).

This is why your electricity bill states kWh (about 22.5 US cents / kWh here in Japan as of last September): trying to do pricing in Joules would use awkward amounts (0.00625 cents/ Joule).

Power is in Watts (mW, W, kW, MW, GW etc)

Energy is in Joules (mJ, J, ...) or Watt-hours (mWh, Wh, kWh...)

Power is energy / time.

Energy is power * time.

Sadly, many games get this wrong.

I hope this helps.
