Steve - I agree with you - Power ( eg: Horsepower ) is force applied over time and is therefore not instantaneous. As a matter of fact, the definition of 1 horsepower is 33000 ft pounds in one minute. There is no way to measure horsepower - it must be calculated from applied torque or force.

Brent, It is possible that the droplets you describe are unconverted fats that have solidified with cooling. They cannot be water, as water would mix with the alcohol/glycerol/soap layer. If they are solidified fats, you may have an incomplete reaction and possible problems with emulsification

Okay- now we can put it all together. energy (joules) = potential (volts) * current (charge per second, or amps) * time (seconds) So if we take an electron, accelerate it through a voltage gap of 1 volt for 1 second, it will have acquired an energy of one joule. What we see here is that energy
