About Inch-Pound-Force
An inch-pound-force (in·lbf) is the work done by one pound-force through one inch - exactly 0.11298482902761670 J (= 1/12 ft·lbf). It is the dominant torque unit for small fasteners and precision instruments in the US: a #6-32 screw in aluminium is torqued to 4-6 in·lbf; a dental implant abutment screw to ~25-30 Ncm (2.2-2.7 in·lbf). Hobby servo motor torque is quoted in oz·in (1 in·lbf = 16 oz·in). Bicycle stem bolts are typically 4-6 Nm (35-53 in·lbf). 1 in·lbf = 0.11298 J = 1/12 ft·lbf = 11.298 Ncm.
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.
