1000mW or simply 1W.
but that doesn’t sound as cool
which also means anywhere that sells them would advertise it as 1000 [GOLDEN PRESENTERS VOICE WITH HIGH REVERB] mW and I feel a lot of people wouldn’t know the difference.
0.7376 ft lbf/s (foot pounds-force per second)
It just rolls off your tongue!
2.8e-7 kWh per second!
It sounds exactly as cool as it is. 1000mW reads as 10^3 ×10^(-3)W, which reads pretty pointless. At some point in science you just write everything in scientific notation and remove the multipliers altogether.
1000000μW!
Oh waow! It has the cool u! Must be even better than the other ones!
1000000 uWatt!
Damn, that’s a big number
You’re right, but for something like a consumer laser pointer that’s typically rated in mW it makes sense to write 1000 mW and not 1 W.
It makes clear how vastly different that is from the regular ones.
