Pferdestarke
The pferdestarke (ps) is a unit of power used primarily in Germany, equivalent to 735.5 watts.
History/Origin
The pferdestarke was introduced in the late 19th century as a metric unit of horsepower, named after the German word for 'horsepower'. It was used to measure engine power, especially in automotive and engineering contexts.
Current Use
Today, the pferdestarke is largely obsolete and replaced by the SI unit watt, but it is still occasionally used in historical references and in certain European countries for measuring engine power.
Joule/hour
A joule per hour (J/h) is a unit of power representing the amount of energy (in joules) transferred or converted per hour.
History/Origin
The joule per hour has been used as a measure of power in various scientific and engineering contexts, especially where energy transfer rates are expressed over longer periods. It is derived from the SI unit of energy, the joule, divided by time in hours.
Current Use
Joule per hour is occasionally used in fields like heating, energy consumption, and industrial processes to quantify power over extended durations, though it is less common than watts for standard power measurements.
