Information about physical units and related things

The number notation is European:
- `.`is for separating thousands
- `,` is for separating decimals

## Energy
- Joule (J)
- Watt-hour (Wh)
- Kilowatt-hour (kWh)
- British thermal unit (BTU, also Btu)
- Mille British thermal unit (MBtu): 1.000 Btu, one thousand Btu
- Mille Mille British thermal unit (MMBtu): 1.000.000 Btu, one million Btu
- Foot-pound (ft lb)
- Calorie (kcal), large calorie
- 1 Wh = 3.600 J
- 1 kWh = 3.600.000 J = 3.600 kJ = 3,6 MJ
- 2000 kcal = 2,32 kWh = 8368 kJ

## Power
- Watt (W)
- Kilowatt (kW)
- Horsepower (hp)
- 1 W = 1 $J \over second$
- 1 kW = 1000 $J \over second$
- 1 kW = 1,341 hp
- 1 hp = 0,7457 kW = 745,7 W

## Length
- Kilometer (km)
- Mile (mi)
- Nautical mile (nmi)
- Foot (ft)
- Inch (in)
- Yard (yd)

## Speed
- Kilometers per hour (km/h)
- Miles per hour (mph)
- Meters pre second (m/s)
- Knots (kn), Nautical miles (nmi) per hour

## Energy costs
- Cent per kWh (Cent/kWh)
- USD per MWh (USD/MWh)
- USD per MMBtu (USD/MMBtu): US dollar per one million british thermal units
- 10 Cent/kWh = 0,10 USD/kWh = 100 USD/MWh
- 10 USD/MMBtu = 3,41 Cent/kWh = 34,1 USD/MWh
