About Gigawatt-Hours
A gigawatt-hour (GWh) is the energy from 1 GW for one hour - exactly 3.6 TJ. National electricity generation is reported in annual GWh: Ireland ~32,000 GWh/year; France ~496,000 GWh/year. The Hornsea One offshore wind farm (1.12 GW) generates ~4,000 GWh/year. The Bath County Pumped Storage (3 GW, USA) stores ~24 GWh. World total battery storage capacity reached ~1,600 GWh by end-2022. Energy of 1 megaton TNT ≈ 1.162 GWh. 1 GWh = 3.6 TJ = 1,000 MWh = 3.412 × 10⁹ BTU.
About Foot-Pound-Force
A foot-pound-force (ft·lbf) is the work done by one pound-force through one foot - exactly 1.3558179483314004 J. It is the standard torque and energy unit in US engineering. Automotive engine torque: Honda Civic ~125 lb-ft; Ford F-150 EcoBoost ~500 lb-ft. Muzzle energies: .22 LR ~140 ft·lbf; .308 Winchester ~2,600 ft·lbf; .50 BMG ~14,000 ft·lbf. Diesel pile hammers deliver 15,000-600,000 ft·lbf/blow. SAE Grade 8 bolts are specified at 7-950 ft·lbf. 1 ft·lbf = 12 in·lbf = 1.35582 J = 0.32405 cal.
