About Gigawatt (GW)

One billion watts, the gigawatt is used for national-scale power generation statistics and major infrastructure. The Hoover Dam produces about 2 GW at peak, and the Three Gorges Dam in China has a capacity of 22.5 GW. The famously quoted '1.21 gigawatts' from Back to the Future is actually a plausible lightning bolt power level.

About Foot-pound per Second (ft·lbf/s)

Equal to approximately 1.356 watts, the foot-pound per second is an imperial unit of mechanical power. Before the widespread adoption of the watt and horsepower, foot-pounds per second appeared in engineering textbooks for calculating power transmission through shafts, gears, and belt drives.
