    From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(power)

    20-40 W - BioMed: approximate power consumption of the human brain
    -- let's overclock it!

    900 W - BioMed: power output of a healthy human (non-athlete) averaged
    over the first 6s of a 30s cycle sprint.

    up to 2 kW - BioMed: approximate short time power output of sprinting
    professional cyclists
    -- that's not very pro!
