Horsepower (Metric)
The metric horsepower (hp) is a unit of power defined as exactly 735.5 watts, used to measure the power output of engines and motors.
History/Origin
The metric horsepower was introduced in the late 19th century as a standardized unit to quantify engine power, primarily in Europe, replacing traditional units like the imperial horsepower. It was adopted for consistency in engineering and automotive industries.
Current Use
Today, the metric horsepower is used mainly in automotive, engineering, and industrial contexts to specify engine power, especially in regions that utilize the metric system. It is also used in some countries for rating motor and engine capacities.
Exawatt
An exawatt (EW) is a unit of power equal to 10^18 watts.
History/Origin
The exawatt is part of the SI prefix system, introduced to represent extremely large power quantities, especially in theoretical physics and astrophysics, as the need to express vast energy outputs grew.
Current Use
Exawatts are primarily used in scientific contexts to describe the power output of large-scale phenomena such as stars and cosmic events; they are rarely used in everyday measurements.
