Horse power, kw/h, kilowatts, ftlb, newton meters... any rating of power will suffice
steem power
Thomas Savery is the first person to create a patent for the steam engine in 1698.
By the number of horsepower its got.
root, steem and leaf
Go in the shower and breath in some steem!
There is no such thing as the 'rate of mechanical power', because power itself is a rate. There's also no such thing as 'mechanical' power as power is a rate, not something that is tangible.
Engine power.
There is no such thing as 'electrical power' or 'mechanical power' or, in fact, any other sort of power. Power is simply a rate -the rate of doing work. In SI, power is measured in watts. An obsolete unit of power is a horsepower. Although, in the Unites States, the power of an engine is usually measured in horsepower, elsewhere it is measured in watts (or, more usually, kilowatts).So, when an engineer describes converting electrical power to mechanical power, what he actually means is the rate of converting electrical energy to mechanical energy.
Not enough information. Is it turbocharged? Is it a piston engine? What type of fuel does it use? If you know its rate of fuel use and its efficiency you can find the power produced.
If there is enough power to crank the engine at a decent speed then you should see spark. Please test the coil or crank sensor if the engine cranks over at a normal rate.
There is no such thing as 'electric power'. Power is simply a rate: the rate at which energy is expended.
because steam itself is a form of gas which is not dangerous.
