179cc = about 5 hp
5 or a 5.5 horsepower engine
You are trying to compare apples and donuts. 179cc is a size of engine that would have a fairly wide range of horsepowers. Horsepower is a power rating.
5.5 to 6 h.p.
A guess-timate rule of thumb is 25cc per horsepower. So your snow blower would be about 7 horsepower.
Approx 6 hp
The MTD 179cc overhead valve engine typically produces around 6 to 7 horsepower. This engine is commonly used in various outdoor power equipment, such as lawn mowers and garden tillers. Its design focuses on efficiency and reliability for residential use.
If it's a Kawasaki 179cc on a lawnmower, it seems the answer is 6hp. Check out this web site. http://www.masseyferguson.com/agco/mf/INTe/Products/GroundsCare/rotarymowers.htm
How many horsepower is what putting out?
You can't. It is like saying "how do I convert gallons into dollars". What you need to answer to do the conversion is "gallons of what?" What sort of engine do you have? ...2 stroke ...4 stroke? Since a typical 4 stroke fires half as often as a 2 stroke at the same RPM, the 2 stroke will put out approximately twice as much horsepower. Then, you have to state what RPM you are testing at. That said, a 179 cc 2 stroke motor could be expected to put out somewhere around 10 brake horsepower. Your mileage will vary.
0.5 horsepower how many watts
CC is NOT correlated to Horsepower. Cc is merely the capacity of that engine, NO relationship to horsepower.
500 horsepower
