Your body is a lot like your car. 1 shows the spectral radiant emittance of a black body at temperatures of 100 200 400 and 600 c calculated with plancks law. When you need energy you feed your body food. The results show that biophoton emission reflects 1 the left right symmetry of the human body. When your car needs energy you feed it gas. The conversion factors between joules and calories are.
According to google the energy it takes to conduct 100 searches on its site is equivalent to a 60 watt light bulb burning for 28 minutes. 2 1 joule j is the amount of mechanical energy required to displace a mass of 1 kg through a distance of 1 m with an acceleration of 1 m per second 1 j 1 kg 1 m 2 1 sec 2multiples of 1 000 kilojoules kj or 1 million megajoules mj are used in human nutrition. The main reason for the change in outlook is that sensitive instruments have been developed that can detect the minute energy fields around the human body. 3 disease states reflected in the broken symmetry between the left and right side of the body. For example 1 gram calorie is equivalent to 4186 joules which is used to measure heat energy. Changes in body temperature either hotter or cooler increase the metabolic rate thus burning more energy.
As energy is defined via work the si unit of energy is the same as the unit of work the joule j named in honor of james prescott joule and his experiments on the mechanical equivalent of heatin slightly more fundamental terms 1 joule is equal to 1 newton metre and in terms of si base units an energy unit that is used in atomic physics particle physics and high energy. Many people are familiar with kilogram calories which are often used to measure the energy available in food. Google uses about 00003 kwh of energy to answer the avenge search query which translates into about 02 g of carbon dioxide released. Quantities of energy given in one unit can always be converted to any other unit of energy. Since atp is the primary source of energy for every body function other stored energy is used to replenish atp. The energy yielding foods namely fats carbohydrates and.
1 the fact that the energy radiated from a black body can be expressed as a function of the wavelength and the temperature of the body is known as plancks law fig. The human body carries out its main functions by consuming food and turning it into usable energy. 1 kcal 4184 kj or conversely 1 kj 0239 kcal. Immediate energy is supplied to the body in the form of adenosine triphosphate atp. 2 biologic rhythms such as 14 days 1 month 3 months and 9 months. For reference each kilogram of body fat is roughly equivalent to 32300 kilojoules or 7700 kilocalories of food energy ie 3500 kilocalories per pound.
And 4 light channels in the body which are hypothesized to regulate energy and information transfer between different parts of. Of particular importance is the squid magnetometer 1 which is capable of detecting tiny biomagnetic fields associated with physiological activities in the body.
