Saw some vid on mechanical prosthetic forearm & hand. (below)
and description for vid said it took 200 watts. I thought that was a TON compared to human.
Googled human power in watts....I was WAY WAY off.
Human power in watts
The average human, at rest, produces around 100 watts of power. [2] Over periods of a few minutes, humans can comfortably sustain 300-400 watts; and in the case of very short bursts of energy, such as sprinting, some humans can output over 2,000 watts.
so 2s would be about human level of "work" / power.
am shocked (pun?) that (some) humans can do 2000 watts at max
those speed run machines pulling like 7,500 watts!!! the power of like four humans doing max level work.
Just a perspective I thought was neat and shared
