Seems to my ignorant eyes that we could always somehow split the power received into more manageable units, even if it has to be splitted a million times, 🤷‍♂️.

Get a 20w LED and it's just 400 hours. Better, but still not much.

So if I'm wearing an Arduino to power some LED's for cosplay, how often do I have to get struck by lightning to keep it going?

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Only once, and they'll remain lit for as long as it matters to you.

[-] Lopoloma@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Hit a blunt to get lit for half a day.
Get hit by lightning to be lit for the rest of your life.

I think my LEDs are around 6W? So what would that be? 1,333 hours per LED. Or my 3000W oven for 2 hours and 40 minutes.

Yeah, we would need a lot of lightning strikes. My solar panels generated about 34,000kWh today, or 4.25 lightning strikes.

You sure they didn't generate 34kWh? If you did mean 34000 you must have an assload of panels

Lmao, you are right. That's what I get for commenting when I'm half asleep.

  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
