Do someone know how much newton one shp is ?

I can't find this info on the net.

1shp = 0.9hp (we consider a shaft horsepower is equal to a 1 hp minus 10% losse from transmisison but vary from one system to another)

1hp = = 745 W (in europe) in some place 1hp=735W depend if its imperial metric or not)

1W=1 N·m/s

so 1hp = 745W and 1shp = 0.9*745 N

You beat me to it . I was going to say that . Cheers .

Wonder why its called "horse power", and not "donkey power" or "cow power"... Maybe 1 horse power is equal to 2 donkey powers...?:hmm:

Great, thanks. So according to your information 17200 shp would be 11532600 Newton ?

A Newton is a unit of force, now power. For power you need to use

Newton meters/second

1 Horsepower it is. But what kind of horse are we talking about?

Arabian, Ardenne or what?

Ok but is 17200 shp = 11532600 m/s Newton right then ?

Was about to explain it myself, but why bother writing.....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_p...2horsepower.22

My elder son says his baby-cart has 1 "dad" power

Well said Bill!

Strength or force in engines is TORQUE, torque over time is POWER

You are forgetting to factor in the stubborn power factor.
