Kw vs Horsepower

[Stimps]

Can somone please explain the diffrence between Killowatt and Horsepower ?

Like 200 Kw = ? in Horsepower

And 400 Hp = ? in Killowatt

Is there some table for this ?

Cheers .

1 horsepower = 0.75 Kilowatt (approximately)

 

[minux]

Kilowatts ---->Horsepower = Kilowatts x 1.34
Horsepower----> Kilowatts = Horsepower x 0.746


SO 200kw = 268hp
400hp = 298.4kw

Thanks for the replys . So now I can say my 'SS which is 220 Kw is basically a 300 Horsepower ride .

yeah, my 160kw (stocko) works out to about 210-215hp.

thats rear wheel, so for flywheel i can brag and say i have 300 too (160rwkw works out to roughly 220fwkw, hence almost 300 fwhp)

horsepower is determined by how much force an engine can create.
anything that can lift 550lb at a rate of one foot per second has 1hp.
so using a vs ecotec as an example...which has 304Nm of torque @3600rpm..
we do this calculation: torque x 6.2832 x revs divided by 33000=hp

304 x 6.2832=1910.0928 x 3600=6876334.08 divided by 33000=208.37376
so an stock ecotec has just over 208hp
*note a simpler formula is: torque x rpm divided by 5252=hp.

huh? say it in engrish...

 

[Stewart1000]

hp=tq rpm/5252
hoursepower = torque x rpm devided by 5252

5252 is somethgin about when things becoem equal or somethign liek that, i learnt it in tafe but cant remember exactley, can someone explain a bit more?

Google has a pretty good feature.

type "220 kilowatts in horsepower" into a google search.

It does other things too, search for "2 + 4 in roman numerals" or "3 kilometers in furlongs" etc.
