The volumes, equipartition energy density, and radiation losses due to the synchrotron and inverse Compton interactions as a function of redshift and projected linear size of Giant radio galaxies are discussed. The new results are based on data from three samples: 1) Ishwara-Chandra & Saikia (1999), 2) Schoenmakers (Ph.D. Thesis, 1999), and 3) Machalski, Jamrozy & Zola (2001).
