What will it be in joules, 1 peta electronVolt?
Could I boil a kettle on this neutrino (potentially)?

10^15 eV is approximately 3.6 nano-horsepower-minutes. Happy now?

Yeah, now that you explained it on usual and unambiguous units, yes, I'm happy.
You did the calculation on English horsepower, at a standard gravity and the international pound, right? I'm asking that's because I'm at 1100m of altitude, so I must apply some corrective factors before I'm really sure what exactly that value means.

Ah yes, please excuse me for not fitting in all the details of my result above. I'm really more an experimentalist than a theorist, so I didn't feel up to calculating the conversion from first principles. But I did have a bit of spare beam time on the schedule. Finding appropriate nano-horses was a bit tricky. My first attempt started with a pony (just a small horse to first order), but its energy output didn't scale very linearly when I chopped it into pieces. I finally ended up using fetal sea-horses for the comparison, though the first couple batches didn't fare well during pumpdown, and left a bit of a mess on the scintillator calorimeters. Anyway, I don't want to bore you with all the sticky details, which I've got to get back to scrubbing off the inside of our vacuum chamber.
