If we set P to 1&nbsp;MW, equivalent to a small [[wind turbine]], this requires an L of 10<sup>42</sup>&nbsp;cm<sup>−2</sup>s<sup>−1</sup>.{{sfn|Ruggiero|1992|p=5}} For comparison, the world record for luminosity set by the [[Large Hadron Collider]] in 2017 was 2.06 x 10<sup>34</sup>&nbsp;cm<sup>−2</sup>s<sup>−1</sup>, tenmore than seven orders of magnitude too low.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://home.cern/news/news/accelerators/record-luminosity-well-done-lhc |title=The LHC's 2017 proton run has ended with record luminosity |date=13 November 2017 |first= Corinne |last=Pralavorio |website=CERN}}</ref>
