At a conversion factor of about 33 kWh/gal, this is equivalent to the energy in about 45,000 gallons of gasoline, or about 1.3 million automobile miles at 30 miles per gallon.

I completely blew this calculation.

Revision in process.

The mistake was an improper conversion of megawatt-hours to kilowatt-hours.

1.5 MWh is 1500 kWh (or a constant net output of about 2 kW over the 768 hours of the experiment). Using the same conversion factor of 33.41 kWh/gal, this is equivalent to 45 gallons of gasoline, or 1,300 miles at 30 mpg..

Still, a remarkable amount of energy from 1 gram of material, but not the ridiculous amount I originally calculated. My apologies.

I completely blew this calculation.

I think by at least three decimal places. A 1.5MW generator burns about 100 gallons an hour. Considering it is about 30% efficient that works out to 30 gallons of diesel fuel.

IOW over a period of 30 days this thing generates at about 2.1kW
