What is going on..here.

1Kw = 1.36hp or
1hp = 0.735kw

Power is basically a measure of the amount of energy used over a period of time.

If you want to educate yourself a touch more read this.

If you are happy with the way things are dont. Im old and was brought up imperial, but then spent my working life in metric or SI. Have to say that using kw rather than BTUs/ hour, min, sec or HP, or pound feet per min and so on does make a certain sense.

Power is independent of time. It can be an instantaneous quantity. If you measure power over time it becomes kW/h (or Ah in battery capacity terms)

I'll shut up and go back to work now!

[normski26]

What!!!!!!!!

Hay, so whats this got to do with light speed?

Are we going all inter-dimentional travel here!!! beam me up snotty!!!

[Ace Piker]

Anoraks at dawn!

[andrewlee31]

ummmm... pointless

[gillcover]

beam me up snotty

and as for warp speed the only thing that warps is the bodywork when I go to light speed

My anorak is going back in the cupboard after this post. but trust me you really need to check the link and have a read.

Power is not independent of time. Power can not be instanteous.

( sham facedly removes anorak and stuffs it deep at the back of the cupboard)

Im going to have a WARP CORE BREACH if this carries on.

Dont you mean Watt!!
never did understand why it was measured in horse power, i mean some horses are stronger than others, like shire horses, race horses are faster though, so is it BSHP or BRHP

You forgot SHETLAND PONIES They come in lbs/ft I think

Actually, theoretically it can.

If there is current flow, there is power. How long do you think an electron needs? Milliseconds? Minutes? Nope. Instantaneous.

Sure'y current takes time to travel, it may be that it's impossible to break time down enough to be able to measure it, Thinking about the speed of light!
that can be measured,

the only instantanious power was the big bang, and i hope no ones trying to set one of them off again... not in a 2.4 anyway....

[normski26]

Yea we add one of them

Yu know that big Bling thing!! Got rid of it last weeek! Dude.

Aint had any sort of "bang" in a car for years
