So James Watt developed the Horsepower unit and then had a competing unit of power named after him.

@carultch 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, exactly. The Watt is the unit for the same concept as the horsepower, based upon the fundamental units of the SI unit system, instead of the horse specifically. It is named that way because James Watt was a pioneer of establishing a unit of power in the first place.

@carultch 4 жыл бұрын

Similar thing happened with Celsius, as our temperature scale we call Celsius was actually the reverse of the temperature scale created by Anders Celsius. He put boiling water at zero and freezing water at 100, so that weather temperature records would always be positive numbers, and living in Sweden, he knew first hand about how common freezing temperatures are. It was switched after his death.

He lived until 1965 after magically surviving the sinking of the Titanic and capturing it all on film. He later handed his footage to his children who game it to the movie studio in 1996.

What part did you not understand? The experiments by Watts found that the average horse could move 33,000 pounds, a distance of 1 foot, over the duration of 1 second. That's one horsepower. That's a good quote by Albert Einstein, but it doesn't apply here because the video explains it pretty simply.

That's still crazy when you take in consideration it takes 3 million ants, or 5 men to produce one horsepower, and with that is a specific unit of measurement and at the time you were able to get 85 hp, now we are achieving 200+ in modern day sportscars. You cannot supply that amount of energy with your mortal energy if you tried, let alone the horse is now obsolete in terms of modern day travel. Yeah half the video was horses but they are fascinating animals when taken of what they can do.

I gave LIKE in the video, it's a beautiful video .. My mother language is Portuguese, forgive me for my poor English. This video makes an apology for a lie. 1 horse (the animal) has at least 15 h.p. (horsepower the measure). In this same movie we can see 4 horses pulling a loaded wagon (cart) uphill on stony ground. The engines of trucks, vans, cars are so weak that they need a gearbox with 1st gear, 1 reverse gear and 1 differential, each with a reduction of around 4: 1; ie in 1st gear or reverse, the reduction is approximately 16: 1. If we took all this 16: 1 reductions a vehicle would hardly get out of place. I hope I have explained so that you can understand.
