Horse power and KWs. Can they be converted into each other?
just outta curiosity, they are both forms of power, but are they exactly the same to be converted into each other?
Does anyone know a formula etc? I have a nice understanding and familiarity with Horse Power, but not with Kws (IE: knowing how much is a delicious
amount of Kws, knowing whats high, wats low)
And terminology wise, what is BHP, Bridge horse power i think it is. Is it the horse power before it reaches the wheels or something?

Brake horse power? is that to do with the power at the brakes (IE: wheels), or the stopping power?

I worked this out once... 52 HP was equivalent to 37.8 KW.
Also BHP is not what's at the wheels (Or what the brakes have to stop).

horsepower
To convert from horsepower to:
Btu/min, multiply by 42.44.
foot-lbs/min, multiply by 33000.
foot-lbs/sec, multiply by 550.
kg-calories/min, multiply by 10.68.
kilowatts, multiply by .7457.
watts, multiply by 745.7.

So, kilowatts to horsepower x 1.341, horsepower to watts x 745.7.

Brake Horsepower is the imperial units of the power coming directly off an engine, ie BEFORE going through the transmission and to the wheels
it has nothing to do with brakes or anything of the sort

at the flywheel usually, not the wheels. But hp is vanity unless you account for the amount of torque that it actually generates and can deliver on
the road.
