Only if you know what the power ouput of the device is. I'm sorry, but I couldn't even begin to tell you what the kW output of the engine in my Van is capable of producing, or the kW output of the water wheel, windmill, oxen driven mill, etc. 3e had rules to provide for that, 4e removed those, especially for the TL9+ settings where powering magic by electricity could become very "efficient".
