Title: BitForce Jalapeno
Post by: rkbHD on March 23, 2013, 07:24:59 PM

Hi,

I see the power consumption of the BitForce Jalapeno from Butterflylabs is rated at 4.5W for power consumption. Does this mean it will draw 0.0045 kWh? Or how would I equate this.

Thanks

It will draw 0.0045KWh PER HOUR

Code:

1 watt <- 1 joule per second (a measurment of power)
1 kilowatt  <- (just a watt times 1000, i.e 1000 watts)
1 kwh <- a kilowatt times an hour (a measurment of energy, like joule)
