How much electricity can be made from one gallon of electrons?
>>
the same amount that can be made from one electron
>>
>>8035104
>gallon
about three lb.ft^2/(minute.hour)
>>
>>8035111
what if you poured it out
>>
>>8035104
One gallon of elections
>>
>>8035104
5 kiloelectricities
>>
>>8035104
about 7

Nice 4, but check this 5

How many voltage drops does it take to make a gallon?
>>
>>8035104
But OP what about uncertainty? How do I even know if the electron is even in the gallon?
>>
>>8035104
how heavy would one pound of electrons be?
>>
>>8035515
We can know all electrons are in the gallon if we give up any hope of knowing the momentum of the gallon.
>>
>>8035593
a pound
>>
Even if you managed to isolate the electrons and store then inside a bucket, their repulsion force would make they pew pew all over the place

depends on the pound used

all the atoms in a bucket of water have electrons.
so fill the 1 gallon bucket with water and then measure the electricity
>>
>>8035104
Im pretty sure if you gathered a gallon of electrons in one place they would produce a godawfully huge explosion
>>
>>8036168
How large a place are we talking?
>>
>>8035104
Don't know about gallons but a liter has about 7.4e20 coulombs I think.
Now this:
A cube of (0.1*0.1*0.1)m^3 contains 1 liter.
The diameter of an electron is about 6e-15 m.
What is the pressure inside the cube?

A place with the volume of a gallon, maybe?
>>
>>8035104
Easy enough if we use an old school definition of electron radius.

1 gallon = 0.0243 m^2

The classical electron radius (or Lorentz radius -- obviously with modern physiques we understand the electron to be a point charge) of an electron is = 2.82E-15 m.

Plugging that into the volume of a sphere equation returns an electron "volume" of 1.18E-14 m^2.

(0.0243 m^2) / (1.18x10^-14 m^2) =
2.057E12 electrons in one gallon.

(2.057E12 electrons) * (electron charge) =
3.3E-7 Joules.

What amount of electricity this could generate requires more info, but if we moved each electron in the gallon across a potential difference of 1 volt, then the total voltage would be simply: 2.057E12 eV.
