1hp/750W or so sustained is insane power for all but a few and that is still for relatively short time periods.


1HP sustained is not insane for a horse. A human OTOH is a very different matter.


1HP is actually ~5 horses. There was a test trying to measure it.

Other way around, a horse does more like 5-15hp


Yes, you’re right. My mind is foggy apparently.

Thanks a lot. Unfortunately I can’t edit it anymore.


One horse power is the rate a horse can sustain while working hard all day long.


They don't make them like they used to
