Real Horsepower

[Wicked One]

Check it out.

And @21 sec, you can see a mouse zip across and startle one of the horses.

 

[petebull]

those are some big horses and about 45 horsepower.

That was quite impressive...

 

[superbender]

Very cool find

 

[Wicked One]

If you go by calculations, It is only 4HP and 2984 Watts.

I have had a few frosty beverages.

I bet the horse was not half as startled as the mouse whenn he got kicked out of its borrow by those hooves.

actually its about 60 hp, 14.something per horse...lol

i had a few cold beverages myself.

I think what senor petebull was refering to was the Nos stickers attached to each of the horses rumps. That accounts for the extra 56 horsepower. Good find there sir

The power of an engine may be measured or estimated at several points in the transmission of the power from its generation to its application. A number of names are used for the power developed at various stages in this process, but none is a clear indicator of either the measurement system or definition used.
In the case of an engine dynamometer, power is measured at the engine's
[ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flywheel"]Flywheel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia@@AMEPARAM@@/wiki/File:Volin.jpg" class="image"><img alt="" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9c/Volin.jpg/220px-Volin.jpg"@@AMEPARAM@@commons/thumb/9/9c/Volin.jpg/220px-Volin.jpg[/ame] (i.e., at the crankshaft output). With a chassis dynamometer or rolling road, power output is measured at the driving wheels. This accounts for the significant power loss through the drive train.
In general:
Nominal is derived from the size of the engine and the piston speed and is only accurate at a pressure of 48 kPa (7 psi).
[13] Indicated or gross horsepower (theoretical capability of the engine) [ PLAN/ 33000] minus frictional losses within the engine (bearing drag, rod and crankshaft windage losses, oil film drag, etc.), equals
Brake / net / crankshaft horsepower (power delivered directly to and measured at the engine's crankshaft) minus frictional losses in the transmission (bearings, gears, oil drag, windage, etc.), equals
Shaft horsepower (power delivered to and measured at the output shaft of the transmission, when present in the system) minus frictional losses in the universal joint/s, differential, wheel bearings, tire and chain, (if present), equals
Effective, True (thp) or commonly referred to as wheel horsepower (whp) All the above assumes that no power inflation factors have been applied to any of the readings.
Engine designers use expressions other than horsepower to denote objective targets or performance, such as brake mean effective pressure (BMEP). This is a coefficient of theoretical brake horsepower and cylinder pressures during combustion.




Had a few more cold ones

A horse actually is stronger than one horse power: 14.9hp is the amount of power an actual horse produces.

 

[Wicked One]

it is more torque than hp, but some genius decided hp was better.

who cares!!! I am going to have another frosty on Pedro.

Here you go if you need something more challenging let em know

That was a great video. If a mouse crossed in front of me that would pretty much be my reaction. Glad to see those big horse get freaked too lol

Hey Neene, Ask My sister about the time I brought a mouse home to my mom as a gift

She flipped out, and I laughed my ass off.

I use to keep 5-10 mice all the time in my apartment (in a cage) as food for my snake.
