330 foot-pounds per second is what he came up with

I am pretty sure that it was 550 foot-pounds per second, not 330.

Gawd, what kind of a group are that would know this kind of stuff? Stuff like it takes 80 calories per gram to change ice at 0 degrees C to water; and one calorie per gram to raise the temperature of the water one degree; and 540 calories per gram to turn the water at 100 degrees C into steam.
