Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXIV: What is this "Haste" you speak of?
So a handful of Pikalites, say 30, can produce about 27.5 GW? For an average .917 GW per Pikalite? That seems like a lot for a being that has to continue trying to live as well. And living things need to eat as well...
Of course, if they can only produce .917 GW each, 1 second of energy isn't that useful I'd think.
Keris, 1 Pikalite = .15 Dol or is it 1 Dol = .15 Pikalite? And were'd you get that from?If you want a OotS style Touhou avatar, send me a request.

Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXIV: What is this "Haste" you speak of?
My phrasing was messed up, as was my interpretation of my hastily scrawled figures. I meant 1 Pikalite = 4 Dol.
A handful is usually ≈5 (the number of digits on one hand). That would put it at 5.5 Dol per Pikalite, but I decided to err on the side of caution and go for 4 Dol per Pikalite. That means 1 Pikalite is about 0.15 of the total 27.5, which is where my erroneous figure came from.
This puts the output of each Pikalite at a very impressive 4GW.Last edited by Keris; 2009-07-21 at 01:58 PM.

Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXIV: What is this "Haste" you speak of?
Yeah, as you might recall, I ran into... difficulties last time when attempting to attain true evil status. And odds are, the № of the Beast is actually 666. The earliest records we have (Irenaeus in the 2nd century) says it's 666, while the 3rd century manuscripts say 616.
If you have a source to cite, then go tell Wookiepedia! That's where I got that from. Although I profess knowledge of a variety of subjects, I am, possibly surprisingly, not a devotee of the Star Wars canon.
That's such common knowledge it's mentioned on TV tropes.Last edited by Keris; 2009-07-21 at 02:28 PM.

Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXIV: What is this "Haste" you speak of?
Ok then, I use 4 GW. I'm going use Stoichiometry for convertions. Barrel of Oil Equivalent is the amount of energy a barrel of crude oil can produce. (42 USA gallons) Work in spoilers.
Spoiler{table]4 GW|10^9 W|1 J/s|1 kJ|1 BTU|Barrel of Oil Equivalent|
11 GW|1 W|10^3 J|1.06 kJ|5.8*10^6 BTU[/table]
Canceling units.Spoiler
{table]4|GW10^9|W1|J/s1|kJ1|BTUBarrel of Oil Equivalent|
11|GW1|W10^3|J1.06|kJ5.8*10^6[/table]BTU
We are left with .65 Barrel of Oil Equivalents per second. That's 1 Pikalite producing the same amount of energy as 27.3 gallons of crude oil in one second. That is a tremendous amount of energy for something that small, especially if it can sustain that output.
That also raises the question of why not just use ~80 Pikalites to run their experiment, what ever it is

Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXIV: What is this "Haste" you speak of?
Yeah, forgive me, but that just doesn't sound right to me either, Keris...
EDIT: Off-topic, is anyone else tracking the development of TOR?. The waiting is already starting to get to me, and I've only been tracking it for a few days. I'm Korin Hyvek on the boards (Incidently, that's the name of my current avatar, and the smuggler I hope to create once the game comes out).
ON yet another off-topic train of thought, does anyone else play the Star Wars Roleplaying game?Last edited by Squark; 2009-07-21 at 03:05 PM.

Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXIV: What is this "Haste" you speak of?
It's a world where you can reconstruct a mountain by saying a word but small yellow guys aren't allowed to produce a lot of energy? (it could be their form of magic you know) besides using your own people as a power source when you can use another method is cruel (I assume they where in a hurry and thus couldn't wait for the last Dol to be available by other methods in the comic)

What's the word that allows you to reconstruct a mountain?
Also, how do you know it's cruel? If it is indeed something natural to the Pikalites, why would it hurt them when they produce electricity?If you want a OotS style Touhou avatar, send me a request.

Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXIV: What is this "Haste" you speak of?
Magic has physics too, after all...
To be honest, though, pikalites generating that much from what appear to be entirely biological means does not make sense, and ruins my willing suspense of disbelief
Straining to produce as much as possible could, but otherwise, no it shouldn't.Last edited by Squark; 2009-07-21 at 03:21 PM.

Hey guys, did you know the world is going to end in three years? Well I was just surfing youtube, the single most reliable source of news on the future and it's all over there. Well I guess it's been a great time with you. Sad it had to end.

They say there will be a red planet named broccoli passing by making everything die and at the same time the solar system will align the milkyway's equator and that will cause us to get sucked into the black hole in the galactic center.
So it will probably be very painful or not.Last edited by Threeshades; 2009-07-21 at 03:28 PM.

Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXIV: What is this "Haste" you speak of?
I don't believe it, certain religious organisations have announced the end of the world at least thrice last century (they announced it would happen in times in that century too) and it hasn't happened yet.
Yeah I'm saying I don't believe i it so it will happen, yay reverse psychology and bad logic!
Anyway, I think the picalites could get their power from the same source as mages do.Treasured Quotes

Re: Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXIV: What is this "Haste" you speak of?
Issue: You're assuming that your definition of "handful" is the same as that of the Pikalites.
Given their population figures it's possible their "handful" slang term is actually equivalent to a hundred or more Pikalites.
Even if "handful" means a literal handful of Pikalites, it's still probably more than 5, especially since they're talking to a Medium-sized creature and are probably Small or Tiny-sized creatures themselves.Last edited by Lyinginbedmon; 2009-07-21 at 04:42 PM.
