There are more videos from Weird Weird Science here, including tours of steel, brass, aluminum, concrete, and hair.

Power is Work divided by Time.

I found a great site via the links at againfaster.com:

It is an work/power calculator for workouts!

Since I skipped out of town for the weekend, my last workout was from Friday.

So here’s the stats from Friday, and my less-than-stellar Fran time of 10:44:

Work Performed
66187.48 joules
6749.14 kg-m
48819.89 ft-lbs

Power Output
102.78 watts
0.14 horsepower
75.81 ft-lbs/sec

I am so geeking out over the data that are available via CrossFit. You all just wait until I start graphing all this stuff!
