So, my daughter smashed my Fujitsu Lifebook T5010's screen, and I've finally gotten around to replacing it with a Fujitsu Lifebook T904.
I have to get back in practice sketching, as well as get used to the different calibration of this screen.
Yeah, it's a bit depressing to "forget" how to draw, but I've been here before and it just takes practice, practice, practice ...
Just a random Cutty sketch

The entire first episode is possibly the weirdest trippy minimalist episodes of Doctor Who, due to it not having a writer. There were production problems with the previous serial, causing an entire episode to be cut. They had to make up for it with an additional episode in The Mind Robber, and ... well ... this is what they came up with. Furthermore, the actor who plays Jamie got sick during production of The Mind Robber, so they devised a plot reason for a different actor to fill in for him.
At this time, they didn't shoot episodes far in advance, so it was all in order with barely any margin before air time.

Yet another Cutty sketch

Cutty's ship uses deck prisms for natural lighting.
Just a random sketch of Cutty and an un-named character. Trying to get back into the habit of sketching, so I can draw stuff for #PostcardsFromCutty again...
@nyrath@spacey.space Here's the whole thing in one comment (using my SocialHome blog account):
ISAAC KUO:
To clarify, the equations calculate energy requirements, rather than power requirements. To get the power, you divide the energy by the time in which to make the change.
But for the original question, the point is moot. In order to hover in place, the energy requirement according to these equations is zero, and zero divided by any time interval is also zero - thus the power requirement is zero. (Luke Campbell explains this principle with the example of "a chair".)
As noted, there are levitation methods that use a lot of power, such as light pressure, sonic levitation, or rotorcraft. But you'll have to use different equations to analyze their power requirements.
