I always took this quote to mean huge amounts of power inside the computer world. An average PC or server doesn't use a whole lot of electricity. When Flynn says it takes massive amounts of power, I took that to mean that for the time the laser is active and able to transport someone back and forth, the server(s) may be clocking at peak performance levels. Memory too. Thus, for the computer world, power expenditure is quite high during the 8 hours the window is open.

Now, as to why Flynn's workshop retained power when the entire arcade is switched off... who knows. Perhaps Flynn has the basement workshop on an entirely different circuit, with the bill going straight back to ENCOM every month? Given ENCOM's size as a company, it's not too far fetched to suggest that a monthly bill like that gets lost in ENCOM's gross corporate overhead -- especially if Flynn left behind instructions for Finance to keep paying the bill no matter what happens.

Im an Aussie electrician, supplies here tend to be three phase and much larger than yours in the US to each premises.

I'll use my limited knowlege of US LV reticulation then, and assume (by the look of the FPE breaker board upstairs at the Arcade) that the supply into there from the street would have been a US style 115/230 single phase centre tapped supply with mains around the 100A mark, which if a 230v load was connected across the two actives this would give you around 24kW. There's little evidence the arcade was airconditioned so that's enough I guess.

That's not much compared to here where you would have a 3phase 240/415 supply at about 80A/phase, giving you a capacity of around 72kW, where air conditioning here for commercial buildings is almost mandatory.

So there you are. Your answer is 24kW (Max). I would assume that would only be drawn during the actual transformation, not all the while the port is open which basically is nothing more than similar to an IP port being open.

Dorthy and Toto? You know the in the Wizard of OZ!!! I figured if he going to go back to 1985 then he might as well say hi to Dorthy too!

One problem, I can't find Oz anywhere on the map, so how can there be a wizard from there?

No on knows, and it's not really that important.

It's sort of like asking "how much energy is required to make the Palantier orb in Lord of the Rings to work?"
