How much horsepower does a horse have?

[her209]

I don't think its one, but I could be wrong.

African? or European?

Note that peak horsepower can be quite a bit higher than that. Even a human can develop > 1hp peak output.

no, its 42, and even 7 is more important than 3.

If you have a good horse he will give 110% yeilding 1.1 horsepower

I won't get into blown horsepower, I might get banned

Only if his rotor has a 1.10 service factor.

50 free HP!

Wrong.

.99999999999999999999.....9 != 1

However,

.99999999999999999999... = 1

Actually, I disagree with everyone above... As a horsepower is now defined as a specific amount of power (745ish watts), most horses can generate far more power than that, at least for a short amount of time. In my physics class, we measure each students power output for running up a set of stairs. I typically generate about 1.25HP myself.

No it isn't. That last nine shows that the number ends somewhere. It needs to be neverending
