What the fuck is a Megawatt hour

I’d take an alternator or generator from a car and have a team of slaves pedal a bike endlessly to save myself some money at that point.

>doing his accountants work for him

>And how do I figure out what the fuck that means for my bills? In Germany it’s 700 euros per Megawatt hour, which is, according to google, is 700,000 euros per killowatt hour, and if that’s the case, that means running my fan for a day costs about 6 million euros and I know that’s wrong but I don’t know where I went wrong? How the fuck can it be 700 euros per megawatt hour? That makes no sense
Divide by 1000 to change from MW to KW. 700 Euro/MWh is 70 euro cents a kilowatt hour or about 10 times higher than a reasonable price for electricity.

That is actually a good idea. I'd do it regardless of the price the electricity company is charging.

So basically it’s just 1000 x that of a killowatt? My current price for KWH is, let’s pretend here, is 70p, that makes the price of megawatt hours £700?

>£
>OP specifies euros

I pay $150 per MWh. Eat shit, Eurocucks.

Retard go ask google not Any Forums, this is basic math.

He is OP. The fact that he can't tell whether to multiply or divide by 1000 is related to the fact that he muddles pounds and euros.

that IS OP bro

Well the conversation works the same way doesn’t it?
Like, my fan is 40 Watts and runs 10 hours a day.
Multiply 40 watts by 10 hours, that’s 400 watts used a day
Divide it by 1000 which is 0.4 and that is how many kilowatts it runs on a day
To calculate how much that costs you multiply that by the cost of killowatt hours whcih, right now, is 60p or 0.6 whcih equals 0.24, meaning it costs 24p to run the fan for 10 hours a day. Is that right or did I fuck it up again?

A watt hour is a measure of power.
Voltage is the differential between two places. Ampere the current that flows.
By way of analogy, imagine a garden hose through which water flows. Voltage is like the water pressure, current is like the diameter of the hose. Power is the amount of water that comes out of the hose. The more pressure there is, or the wider the hose is, the more water flows.
A watt hour is the flow over time, so if the hose pours out 10L per minute, then we could say that the hose has 10 water-minutes. Equivalently, if you have 2A @ 230V running for an hour, you have 2*230=460Wh

I was curious how much we're spending compared to america and europe

if a kilowatt hour is 70p (pound or pence?), then multiply by 1000 to get pounds per megawatt hour
then you can compare your british price with the 700 euro germany price

>what does OP mean?

Bro you better go get some firewood before you freeze

>that’s 400 watts
watt hours*

>watts per hour
Not how that works.
Let's say it uses 50 watts (which equates to 50 Joules per Second)
If you run it for 1 hour, that's 50 watt-hours, or 0.05 kWh.

it means both the opening post and original poster but the latter needs to be specified. you said
>OP specifies Euros
which implies the person. if you meant the post itself, you should have said
>Euros are specified in the OP

Retarded OP strikes again

So wait, we’re my calculations wrong or did I just fuck up the terminology?
That would mean the German euro price of KHW is 0.70 euros then?

Also I think I get where I fucked up, I went to google and looked up MWH to KWH, typed 700 (as in euros) into the MWH section making it look like a killowatt hour costed 700,000 euros. I really just am retarded

In southern US we've been maxing out around 120$ at the hottest point of the day but 70-80$ average.

1 Watt is 1 Joule per Second.
1 Watt-Hour is 1 Watt for 1 Hour.

Watt is a measurement of 'instant' power, whereas Watt-Hour is a measurement of power over time.
So you don't say watts per hour ;-)
