Question is as the title suggests really.
Essentially I went on a watt bike the other day and my friend said I nearly produced one horse power. So obviously I then googled how much horse power a horse produces, and then when I found out it is more than one I was curious as to what animal produces one horse power and what we should change the measurement ‘horsepower’ too.
Also, I don’t think I’ve ever typed horse and horse power so much in such a little space
In: Mathematics
A healthy adult human can generate around 1 hp peak, more or less.
(An Olympic athlete can produce over 3 hp at peak, but a couch potato might struggle at 0.5 hp).
