To help compare different orders of magnitude we list here energies between 10⁷ joules and 10⁸ joules.

Weaker energies
1.07 × 10⁷ J – the power output of one man working for a week (five days, eight hours a day; calculation based on the conventional value for human power output used in agriculture, which is 0.1 horsepower)
2.144 × 10⁷ j – a power of one horsepower applied for a full day (eight hours)
2.68 × 10⁷ J – a power of ten horsepower applied for one hour
3.6 × 10⁷ J – 10 kWh
4.8 × 10⁷ J – energy released by combustion of one kilogram of petrol
Stronger energies
