Fat is about 30x as energy dense as Li-Ion en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_density#/media/… . If we could power small engines with petrol ( ~fat energy density) with the same fine&fast control as electric motors, there'd be no problem. btw, do not get exited about Energy Density of H it is high, but just kJ/kg, not kJ/L, so unless you want MichelinMan Robots... | |

| Jan 25 at 3:57 | comment | added | DKNguyen | @Questor A human maintains homeostasis though. A robot, not necessarily unless you really want to simulate the body warmth thing. Waste of energy for the most part. | |
| Jan 24 at 23:33 | comment | added | Questor | @Matthew That's fair. metabolic resting state of an adult human male is 1300 Calories, on average some people are higher some are lower. So its really more like half a day. But my point was "where is the 700 watt hours number coming from? | |
| Jan 24 at 22:17 | comment | added | Matthew | @Questor, 600 is about a third of the recommended 2000 kcal/day, which isn't for "just sitting there doing nothing". And since you said "less"... it would last a typical, modern human of average activity level about (but likely a bit less than) a third of a day. If said human is actually "just sitting there doing nothing", it might last more than a third of a day. | |

| Jan 24 at 15:29 | comment | added | Questor | A 700 Watt-hour batteries worth of power. thats only 602.294 KCalories ('Calories') That would last a human less then 1/3 of the day. If the human was just sitting there doing nothing. | |

| Jan 23 at 17:57 | comment | added | Jason Goemaat | "I tried to do some math with help and the answer we got is that a 1kg 700 watt-hour battery would run the robot for decades." It would really help to show your math so we can point out where the error is. In addition, going through it and re-writing it in another form may make something stand out. A lot of times when I'm stuck on a problem and ask a friend to help me work it out I figure out the issue while explaining it to them. | |

| Jan 23 at 5:09 | comment | added | Hunting.Targ | I also think you could use to refer to "Star Trek: The Next Generation" lore, as you are very closely describing the androids Data and Lore built by Dr. Noonian Soong. Memory Alpha would be a good place to do that; it doesn't sound like you're using super-hard science to work this out. | |
| Jan 23 at 5:06 | comment | added | Hunting.Targ | I don't have a good reason to flag your question. However, it would be helpful if your specific question were asked (or repeated) in the body, so that what you want to know is clear to other readers who aren't necessarily invested in your problem. | |
