thats not a sustainable amount of horsepower for a horse, but it is for an engine. Notably engines are better at moving heavy loads for longer and uphill

Wikipedia: “Two common definitions used today are the imperial horsepower, which is about 745.7 watts, and the metric horsepower, which is approximately 735.5 watts.”
Oh fuck!
The name is misleading though, it should be like “non-systemic unit of power” or “non-SI unit of power”.

While it does sound cool to say my car has 490 NSU, I think horsepower is still cooler. Horses are cool.

Watt is better unit of power.

Watt are you even talking about?
