The term horsepower was invented by the engineer James Watt. Watt was working with ponies lifting coal at a coal mine, and he wanted a way to talk about the power available from one of these animals. He found that, on average, a mine pony could do 22,000 foot-pounds of work in a minute. He then increased that number by 50 percent and pegged the measurement of horsepower at 33,000 foot-pounds of work in one minute. So, if you were to lift 33,000 pounds one foot over a period of one minute, you would have been working at the rate of one horsepower. In this case, you'd have expended one horsepower-minute of energy.
A horse actually is stronger than one horse power: 14.9hp is the amount of power an ACTUAL horse produces, but over longer periods of time, the average horse produces less than one hp.
But The horsepower is the amount a horse can produce for a continuous time period at a slow haul, however in a gallop for short periods that power level shoots up dramatically, this is why a horse can whip say a 5hp mini motorbike.
So far, on the internet, I have read a) 22 lbs. of thrust = 1 hp. b) 12 lbs. of thrust = 1 hp.
1 horsepower equals 745.69987 watts. Scroll down to related links and look at "Electrical Power" and "Energy".
1 HP = 746 watts.
1 hp (metric) = 735.499W 1 hp (US = 550ft-lbf/s) = 745.7W
from memory at trade school , it is 743 watts = 1 horse powercheers

Hello, There is no direct correlation between engine displacement and horsepower, they are different types of measurement. 1 horsepower is equal to 745 watts where as 1 cc is one cubic centimeter.
1kW is 1.34hp <<>> One horsepower is equal to 746 watts. There for 1000/746 = the above answer.
One horsepower is equal to 746 watts.
One horsepower is equal to 746 watts.
The definition is that 746 watts equal one horse-power.
