Get energy use estimates for flights, rail trips, and automobile trips (more coming soon!). BETA from Brighter Planet.
BETA¶ ↑
This is beta software and subject to change at any time.
Examples¶ ↑
Fuel used by a Bentley¶ ↑
?> Energy::AutomobileTrip.fuel_use(:make => 'Bentley', :distance => 500) => [how many litres of gas a Bentley uses to drive 500km]
Fuel used by a Continental Airlines flight¶ ↑
?> Energy::Flight.fuel_use(:airline => 'Continental Airlines') => [how many litres of aviation fuel a Continental Airlines flight consumes]
Fuel used by an Amtrak train¶ ↑
?> Energy::RailTrip.fuel_use(:rail_class => 'intercity', :distance => 500) => [how many litres of diesel an intercity uses over 500km]
TODO¶ ↑
-
always provide a conversion of, for example, fuel use in litres to energy use in joules to be true to the intent of the gem
-
decide how we expect people to use this gem (maybe it should be more like Carbon and not define its own classes)
