Everything about Deadweight totally explained

  • Deadweight tonnage is an expression of a ship's carrying capacity, including the weight of the crew, passengers, cargo, fuel, ballast, drinking water, and stores.
  • Deadweight (song), a song by Beck from the A Life Less Ordinary Soundtrack
  • The extra weight on a machine part that lowers its performance when not in use. For example, the main engine on a rocket becomes dead weight when the propellant is used up. For this reason, multi-stages rockets eject engines after they've been utilised to reduce the dead weight. However, the later stages of the rocket are initially deadweight in the early stages of launch.
  • Deadweight (U.S. band), the alternative hard rock trio consisting of electric violin, electric cello and drum kit from San Francisco Bay Area, California
  • The death metal band from Stourbridge, UK
