Oh god oh fuck not again
I learned a things:
While it is true that the maximum output of a horse is around 15 horsepower, when you average the output of a horse over the course of a work day it ends up being around a horsepower. Watt defined this amount as “the amount of work required from a horse to pull 150 pounds out of a hole that was 220 feet deep”.
Thank God it wasn’t something arbitrary like pulling a 100 pounds out of a hole that was 250 feet deep.
Fun fact: 1 horse can produce up to 15 horse power.
And all this time I thought the fuel went in the other end.
I remember reading somewhere that a single horse can actually output 12-14 horsepower. And an average human’s maximum output can be over 1 horsepower.
On the sign to her left someone should draw up a horse near the gas pump nozzle. “Helps your horse run like new”
