Dyne

One dyne is the force that accelerates a mass of one gram at the rate of one centimeter per second. One dyne is equal to 2.2481×10-6 pounds of force, or 10-5 newtons.

Comparative list of force

 * 1 kilodyne = 1 thousand dynes
 * The Doctor's bio-temporal chamber produced a field stress of 25 kilodynes during the initial test on Kes, before raising it to 30 kilodynes.
 * The integrity field stress caused by the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) attempting to escape from the cosmic string fragment exceeded 82 million kilodynes.


 * 1 teradyne = 1 trillion dynes
 * A Borg transwarp coil required a minimum of 30 teradynes to maintain a transwarp conduit, which was more than could be provided by the Delta Flyer's emergency power.
 * During their encounter with a binary pulsar the USS Voyagers hull stress was noted at 45 teradynes' and rising, eventually exceeding the vessel's designed maximum tolerance.
 * The warp core of the USS Voyager "is fueled by a matter/antimatter reaction, which produces a maximum output of 4,000 teradynes per second providing faster-than-light propulsion."
