kJ is kilo Joule. One thousand Joules.

The joule (symbol J), named for James Prescott Joule, is the derived unit of energy in the International System of Units. It is the energy exerted by the force of one newton acting to move an object through a distance of one metre.

1 J = 1 W*s (one Watt second)

One joule in everyday life is approximately:

  • the energy required to lift a small apple one meter straight up.
  • the energy released when that same apple falls one meter to the ground.
  • the energy released as heat by a person at rest, every hundredth of a second.
  • one hundredth of the energy a person can receive by drinking a drop of beer.
  • the kinetic energy of an adult human moving at a speed of about a handspan every second.
1 kJ would be one thousand times these examples

Is it possible to get more work out of a machine that you put in?

Yes and no. The energy in the universe is constant so you can not get more work out of a system than exists in the system. For example, if there is 20 kJ (kilojoules) of energy that exists in the system in the form of heat, chemical energy, etc... and you put in 5 kJ of energy, it would be possible to get out 10 kJ of energy. It is not possible however to get 30 kJ of energy out of the system because 30 kJ does not exist in the system, and energy can't be created, only transfered.

Why is the unit of energy called a KJ?

Joules, is the basis unit in International Systems of Unit (SI). It defined as energy equivalent to force of 1 Newton acting over distance of 1 meter. This unit of energy can related mechanical energy to heat to electricity and any other forms. The prefix k stand for kilo or 1,000. 1 kJ is thus 1,000 J.
