A watt is a unit of electrical power, named after Earth scientist James Watt. One watt is equal to one joule per second.
Comparative list of electical power
- Milliwatt = 0.001 watts
- The internal sensors aboard a Constitution-class starship are set to go off if they detect any scan field set at or above 20 milliwatts. (DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations")
- Megawatt = 1 million watts
- In an initial attack made on the USS Enterprise-D by a Husnock warship, it fired jacketed streams of positrons and antiprotons, a firepower equivalent to 40 megawatts, which caused no damage to the Enterprise. (TNG: "The Survivors")
- As a satellite discovered around a penal moon in the Gamma Quadrant approached the USS Yangtzee Kiang, it began to establish a significant power build-up. Build-up readings went from 600 megawatts to 900 megawatts before firing at the runabout. The result of the blast knocked out the ships shields, forward thrusters and impulse generators. (DS9: "Battle Lines")
- Gigawatt = 1 billion watts
- Scotty was sure he could get a few extra gigawatts out of the shields of the USS Jenolan, to support his plan to use the ship to prop open the doors of a Dyson Sphere. (TNG: "Relics")
- The reactor required to power the Federation "duck blind" on Mintaka III was capable of producing 4.2 gigawatts. A reactor this size was required to power the hologram generator used to hide the blind, but could also be power a small phaser bank or subspace relay station. (TNG: "Who Watches the Watchers?"
- Doctor Tolian Soran erected a 50 gigawatt force field on Veridian III around the equipment he intended to use to destroy the Veridian sun. (Star Trek: Generations)
- The quantum beacon mounted on board the Enterprise, used to reveal both a Suliban stealth-cruiser and Romulan Birds-of-Prey, had an output of 200 gigawatts. (ENT: "Shockwave, Part I")
- In it's second attack on the USS Enterprise-D, the Husnock warship encountered at Delta Rana IV fired 400 gigawatts of particle energy at it, causing superficial damage to the ship, but effectively taking down it's shields. A second shot took out the rest of the Enterprises shields and caused thermal damage to the hull. (TNG: "The Survivors")
- The warp core aboard a Galaxy-class starship generates 12.75 billion gigawatts per second of energy. (TNG: "True Q")
- 1 billion gigawatts is equal to 1 exawatt.
- Terawatt = 1 trillion watts
- The Cytherian probe encountered by the USS Enterprise-D created an energy field around itself at an intensity beginning at 3.2 terawatts and continued to increase. The shields of a Federation shuttlecraft cannot provide sufficent protection for its computer from an energy field of that intensity. (TNG: "In Theory")
- The ancient network of relay stations claimed by the Hirogen, powered by artificial quantum singularities of approximately a centimeter in diameter, have an output of 4 terawatts of energy. (VOY: "Hunters")
