The electrical equivalent of one horsepower is 746 watts in the International System of Units (SI), and the heat equivalent is 2,545 BTU (British Thermal Units) per hour. Why unit of power is horsepower? When the steam engine began to do the work of horses in the mines during the Read more…
Using a complicated mathematical equation, Watt deduced that a mill horse could push 32,572 pounds one foot in a minute, which he rounded up to an even 33,000 pounds. 33,000 pounds pushed one foot in a minute. The power of one horse. How many watts of power does a horse Read more…
Horsepower (hp) is a unit of measurement of power, or the rate at which work is done, usually in reference to the output of engines or motors. What is hp as a unit? Horsepower (hp) is a unit of measurement in the foot-pound-second (fps or ft-lb/s) or English system, sometimes Read more…
Power output from an electric motor can be measured in either horsepower or kilowatts — the latter a measurement of electricity. Nissan says their LEAF EV puts out 80 kilowatts, while Toyota says the Prius hybrid’s electric motor has 60 horsepower. Do electric cars make horsepower? Yes, electric vehicles do Read more…
Formula for calculations of Break horsepower is BHP = (Torque × RPM )/5252,where torque is lb -ft and n = revolution per min. How is main engine BHP calculated? The equation to calculate horsepower is simple: Horsepower = Torque x RPM / 5,252. How do you calculate brake horsepower in Read more…
Instead of the gas turbines or diesel-electric systems used for propulsion on many modern warships, the carriers use two A4W pressurized water reactors which drive four propeller shafts and can produce a maximum speed of over 30 knots (56 km/h; 35 mph) and maximum power of around 260,000 shaft horsepower Read more…
In 1988, Japanese auto manufacturers came together and agreed to a “gentleman’s agreement” – cars would not produce more than 276hp and were to be limited to 180kmh; at least for cars produced for the Japanese domestic market (read our article here on the meaning of JDM if you’re not Read more…
dynamometer. The horsepower in cars is measured using a dynamometer, which measures the torque output by the engine and its RPM (revolutions per minute). The formula used is torque x RPM / 5252, which results in the vehicle’s horsepower value. We use torque as a measurement because it is easier Read more…
Larger wheels do absolutely nothing to horsepower. The output of your motor remains the same. The final drive ratio to your wheels remains the same. Do rims affect horsepower? Increasing the total wheel diameter will also increase the final reduction ratio and this has essentially two consequences: acceleration potential is Read more…
