100 watts
The quantity is exact as entered. Comparisons use the clearly stated specimen, model or nominal measurement.
Human mechanical output
A chosen 100 W sustained mechanical output, not total metabolic power.
Defined examples — our methodology
The marked power is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

- Comparing
- Power ↔ Power
- Relative size
- The two selected measurements are approximately equal.
How to read the visual
The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.
- Human mechanical output is labelled example; treat the displayed value as a comparison anchor rather than false precision.
