Build your own unit.

Post your ideas for units here.  Rate and discuss others students  units.  Get ideas on how to make crazy units.

  1. Candela/Meter. Example: the closer I get to Mr.C's 20 million candle-powered light, the more intense the light gets, therefore, the farther in distance i get from it, the less intense it is and the lower the unit of C/M

  2. S/(Amp/Candela). This unit combines the measures of longevity and strength of the light source at the same time, ultimately telling what the most balanced light source is in terms of brightness and the length before it dies out

  3. I'm sort of building from Jon's units.
    Kelvin/Candela. The greater the strength of the candle-powered light, the more greater the heat that radiates off from it. If there's less light being produced, there's less heat.

  4. Would kg/m(squared) work?
    kg/m(squared) Because it is mass over area, I was assuming that it would measure pressure. The amount of stuff distributed on a certain amount of space.

  5. Mass/Mole is the formula for Molecular Mass... perhaps combined with the Candela, [(Mass/Mole) / Candela] would give the individual luminosity degree for every single molecule, or perhaps the individual strength of each molecule of the light source, instead of examining the wavelength as a whole with the Candela.

  6. Kelvin/seconds
    For an increase of temperature.

  7. amphere/meter- the strength of an electrical current over distance traveled
