BTW, 1kW is only just over 1 BHP. Some fans take more

0.476Kw = 1HP

In your universe, perhaps. On Earth it 748 watts to 1 horsepower.

`Is that so ****-fer-brains?
https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/...p-to-watt.html

gives the figure of 745.699872W

I suspect that the 7 & the 4 got transposed.

No they weren't. Plus if you scroll down a bit further it points out
the difference between a HP electrical and a HP mechanical.

You ARE a ****-fer-brains.


From your link...
1 mechanical horsepower: 745.699872W
1 electrical horsepower: 746W
1 metric horsepower: 735.49875W

Your figure occurs nowhere on that page.


The figure I put forward was 746.
"Charles" is the ****-fer-brains who put forward 748
Who apparently has conspiracy theories about other planets.


So the 476W was a typo then? That is what confused some of us.
