Common power conversion mistakes

  • Horsepower comes in flavours: the metric horsepower is about 735.5 W while the mechanical (imperial/US) horsepower is about 745.7 W, roughly 1.4% stronger. The same engine therefore shows a slightly lower number in hp than in European hk/PS figures. Always state which horsepower you mean.
  • 'Calories burned per hour' is a power figure, not an amount of energy: 1 kcal/h is about 1.16 W. A run that burns 600 kcal in an hour corresponds to an average output of about 700 W.
