The solar installations Williams is planning will generate between 1 megawatt and 40 megawatts per day depending on the energy needs of the adjacent facility. To put that in easy terms, a 1 megawatt solar installation produces enough electricity for homes.
Keep in mind that the actual energy output of solar installation varies based on the amount of sunlight on a given day. The other, much larger way Williams plays a role in making electricity is by sending natural gas to power generation plants around the United States.
Yes, there is. All I need to do is to look at this car a DeLorean and use — video analysis. The clip isn't perfect, but I think it will give a good enough estimate. I can scale the video using the wheel base of 2. Here is a plot of the position of the DeLorean in the first time travel with the dog in the car. The slope of this line puts the car's speed at Yes, that is faster than 88 mph. I'm not sure why the one frame repeated. Also, there could be a problem with my scale since it was rather difficult to see the car.
Here is the next time the car gets to a speed near 88 mph when Marty first goes back in time. Well that's not good. For this video, the car isn't quite up to 88 mph so this seems ok. Oh, actually there is not a good shot to analyze there. Oh well, the second shot is close enough to 88 mph, that I will just stick with that. What about the time interval? For the first test, I looked at the time from just when the car started to shoot sparks until it "exploded".
This gives a time of 4. But wait! What about the case when a lightning bolt is used to power the car? For that case, the time machine is only getting power for at most 0.
So, there are two different time intervals for two different trips through time. Let's just do it for both time interval estimates.
That's not so bad. I have an energy range with the high end just a factor of 10 higher. Doc Brown's first choice was to use plutonium. Although he didn't give too much of the details, I guess he was using Plutonium Pu is radioactive, but I don't think that's how it gave energy in this case. Instead, I guess that there was some type of fission process that broke the nucleus into smaller pieces. Note that "jigowatts" is the way the word was spelled in the script, and is considered a correct spelling for within the movie.

It's clear from the fact that a bolt of lightning can trigger time travel that they need high power, but not for very long. If the 1. Of course, you'd need a ridiculously awesome capacitor to do that. But Doc had one. The number has some appeal visually, and could be spoken memorably by the actors involved.

According to the dictionary "jiga" is a perfectly acceptable pronunciation. It is a 'g' followed by an 'i' after all. It's been a long time since I've seen it, I didn't realize that the pronunciation of "giga" in the movie was a bit of a big deal: en.
Yes, but it is not an accepted spelling. No one knew how to pronounce it Ward Oh dear god, "jaigawatts"?? Show 2 more comments.

It would be a lot cooler if you broke your calculation down to steps and explained them.
Particularly the part about MC. MC squared is M times C times C, which is How did you get your result? Like 1, would be MCIV.
Its still a stretch. To quote Remiel: [
