  2. Horsepower-hour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsepower-hour

    1 PSh = 0.73549875 kW⋅h = 2647.7955 kJ (exactly by definition) The horsepower-hour is still used in the railroad industry when sharing motive power (locomotives). For example, if Railroad A borrows a 2,500 horsepower locomotive from Railroad B and operates it for twelve hours, Railroad A owes a debt of (2,500 hp × 12 h) 30,000 hp⋅h.

  3. Power-to-weight ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-to-weight_ratio

    A typical turbocharged V8 diesel engine might have an engine power of 250 kW (340 hp) and a mass of 380 kg (840 lb), [1] giving it a power-to-weight ratio of 0.65 kW/kg (0.40 hp/lb). Examples of high power-to-weight ratios can often be found in turbines.

    One square metre of the Earth receives about 1.4 kilojoules of solar radiation every second in full daylight. [19] A human in a sprint has approximately 3 kJ of kinetic energy, [20] while a cheetah in a 122 km/h (76 mph) sprint has approximately 20 kJ. [21] One watt-hour, of electricity or any other form of energy, is 3.6 kJ. megajoule

  6. Engine power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_power

    Engine power is the power that an engine can develop. It can be expressed in power units, most commonly kilowatt, metric horsepower (often abbreviated PS), or horsepower.In terms of internal combustion engines, the engine power usually describes the rated power, which is a power output that the engine can maintain over a long period of time according to a certain testing method, for example ...
