Earth, sky & time

Environmental

Calculators for where you are on the planet, what the sky is doing there, and what energy costs you — moist-air physics, solar output, dwelling heat loss, and what an electric car actually costs per mile.

EV Charging & Running Cost

What a charge costs and how long it really takes, with the power taper that makes the last 20% the slow 20% — then cost per mile against petrol.

min(charger, car) · p/kWh ÷ mi/kWh
Open

Heat Loss & Heat Pump Sizing

Design heat loss in kW from U-values and ventilation — and how much bigger the radiators must be at a heat pump’s flow temperature.

ΣU·A·ΔT + 0.33nV·ΔT
Open

Psychrometer

Humidity, dew point, wet-bulb, and the full moist-air state — with a draggable psychrometric chart and a city climate atlas.

RH · dew point · wet-bulb · mixing ratio
Open

Lightning Distance

Count the seconds from flash to thunder. The arithmetic is trivial; whether you are already in range, and why silence is not safety, is the part worth knowing.

Open

London Tube Map

Every Underground and Elizabeth line station as a diagram, true to scale, and in 3D at its real depth. Plan a journey, light up a line, and see how far you can get from anywhere.

Open

Feels Like Temperature

Wind chill and heat index from the official NWS formulas — the real "feels like" temperature, with frostbite and heat-risk categories.

Time Zone Converter

What time is it there — and when does a meeting in one city land in another? Compare cities side by side across the day.

UTC offsets · meeting planner
Open

Solar PV Estimator

Annualised output for a solar array — pick a city, system size, panel tilt and orientation, and see month-by-month generation.

E = A · η · H · PR
Open

Tide Curve & Rule of Twelfths

The height of tide at any hour and the window you can cross in — with the rule drawn against the true curve, and an honest account of the assumption that actually ruins it.

Earthquake Magnitude & Richter Scale

What each magnitude releases and does, famous earthquakes at every level and the equations behind them — with a world map of 53 years of magnitude 6+ quakes against the plate boundaries.

×10 shaking · ×31.6 energy · Mw = ⅔(log M0 − 9.1)

Dive Depth & Ascent Guide

How fast the published guidance says to come up from a dive, the depth bands from open water to the Challenger Deep, and what a submersible does differently. Reference only.

9 m/min · 10 m = 1 bar · ppO2 ≤ 1.4
Open

Sun Phase

Sunrise, sunset, solar noon and twilight for any place and day: the sun’s height through the day, its path across the sky and the whole year at a glance.

sin h = sin φ sin δ + cos φ cos δ cos H
Open

Moon Phase

The Moon’s phase, moonrise and moonset for any place and day, its path across the sky, its distance, the next eclipses and the year’s full moons.

moonrise ≈ 50 min later each day

Energy Cost Calculator

What your appliances actually cost to run. Add common or custom appliances, pick a country, and see the cost per day, week, month or year — plus CO₂.

watts · kWh · $/£/€ per year
Open

World Atlas

Every country on one map, in an equal-area or a Mercator projection — with population, GDP, land area and highest points sortable, and continents, NATO, the EU and the G7 highlighted on demand.

km² · GDP · m · equal-area
Open

Altitude & Depth

Pressure, temperature, oxygen and force from the stratosphere to the ocean floor — jump to Everest, cruising altitude, the Titanic wreck or the Challenger Deep.
