About Watt (W)
The SI derived unit of power, one watt equals one joule per second. Named after James Watt, the Scottish inventor who improved the steam engine, the watt measures everything from LED light bulb consumption (5-15 W) to microwave oven output (700-1,200 W) and charging speeds of electronic devices.
About Horsepower (mechanical) (hp)
The mechanical horsepower equals approximately 745.7 watts and was defined by James Watt to compare steam engine output to draft horses. Car engines, outboard motors, and lawnmowers in North America are rated in horsepower. A typical family sedan produces 150-200 hp, while Formula 1 engines exceed 1,000 hp.
