Late last century, the Joint European Torus (JET) near Oxford, UK, churned out 22 megajoules of energy in what was, at the time, a record in fusion power. Is that more than 1.21 Gigawatts?

The megajoules unit number 3,600,000.00 MJ converts to 1 GWh, one gigawatt hour.

As near as I can figure, they have produced enough watts to light a 100 watt light bulb for 163 hours.

No. It is 22 megawatts for 1 second.
A joule is one watt for one second.

I think you mean jigawatts. And yes, we’re going to need this kind of power for our flying cars. 🤣

It depends on how long it took to do it.
A joule is a watt for one second. If they got the whole 22 megajoules in under 18 milliseconds, the answer is “yes”.

Joules are units of energy; watts are units of power (energy per unit time).
