Aren't calories just a measure of energy density? So no wonder fuel is high, that's why we use it as fuel.

Yes. The definition of a calorie is the amount of energy required to heat one litre of water by one degree Celsius. So yeah. Something that will burn for a long time. Like the vapour from petrol (gasoline). That will burn for a long time therefore allowing one litre of water to have its temperature increased by a lot more than one degree.

@@davepb5798 of course. I believe that’s as one gram of water is the equivalent of one millilitre so makes smaller calculations easier in both practice and theory.

Fun fact: Jerry cans are called Jerry cans because those types of cans were first used by the German army during WW2. When the Allies captured these cans, they named them Jerry cans because the German soldiers were nicknamed "Jerry"

​@@Samson1yeah they had stronger walls and handle can share between people so managed to do their job better, a guy wanted us to make a copy but as how we picked to do them it had thin flat walls that made it bloat from the pressure I believe and we didn't think much of it until we made over 10k or so, the German ones also had a lining inside that meant could carry different liquids without issue as well I believe same guy or another guy had a car over there and to avoid being arrested by removing the jerry cans he stored quite a few empty ones in his car and tried to just import his car over that also would of bring all the jerry cans over without issue, unsure if he managed it or not but believe was after the war when tried to import his car

Calories is literally a measure of how much energy is released when you burn something, including food. It doesn't mean it would give you life energy even if it wasn't poisonous.

Been watching your stuff for a while now mate! First one I watched was the Al Murray "Name a country" video a couple of years ago. Absolutely love watching your reactions! You said something on this video which I've heard you say before and I just had to comment... When it showed the Buddhist temple you apologised for being ignorant. Never apologise for this man, you're asking questions and you're learning! ❤ Keep up the hard work & amazing reactions brother 💪

We are building stuff for the future people to wunder about. Think about all the windmills everywhere.

Also fun fact there's more energy in diesel than LPG (Liquid petroleum gas) but. It takes more energy to break apart the molecule hence you'll not get as much energy back hence diesel engines normally don't produce as much power. But thanks to their design they do offer way more torque and burn fuel slower as they don't rev as high which is the main reasons almost alo commercial vehicles use diesel and not LPG. Basic difference is LPG uses a spark to ignite fuel as it's a small molecule and easily ignited and Diesels use the compression stroke itself and glow plugs to help heat up the chamber to ignite fuel.

The Gas we receive from the grid is charged based on its "calorific value" . Calories are a measure of energy after all.

We've forgotten how to build things that last.

funily enough, you talk about a modern pyramid, in germany is the zeitpyramide (time pyramid) 1 block will be placed every 10 years and the 4th block is due september this year. it will be completed in 3183

That's a great episode, cheers!

'Fun fact': the calories in petrol are the reason it is so useful.

5:45 i died 😂💀

Indeed gasoline (or bensin, as we call it) has quite a few calories in it (31,000 per gram) but compare that with Uranium-235 that has 20 billion calories per gram and it's like nothing at all. We need fission engines. Imagine going 360 000 miles an hour down the road and not even noticing how many times you have died as soon as you hit the accelerator. Wait... that'd be a bad thing, wouldn't it?

Calories is the amount of energy required to heat up 1L so be about 0.22 Gallons, just less than a quarter of a gallon of water by 1°C Doesn't sound all that impressive until you actually try to heat up water with say a small flame then you realise why you need a hot flame or say a microwave or boiler to do it 😂

1 gallon =31,000 calories
