I recommend you use SI (metric) units: joules, grams, degrees Celsius etc. Remember why NASA crashed a rocket into Mars. http://www.cse.lehigh.edu/~gtan/bug/localCopies/marsOrbiter "Engineers on the ground calculated the size of the rocket firing using feet-per-second of thrust, a value based on the English measure of feet and inches. However, the spacecraft computer interpreted the instructions in Newtons-per-second, a metric measure of thrust. The difference is 4.4 feet per second. . . ." - Jed
