Attowatt
An attowatt (aW) is a unit of power equal to 10^-18 watts, representing an extremely small amount of power.
History/Origin
The attowatt is part of the SI prefix system introduced to denote very small quantities, with 'atto-' representing 10^-18. It has been used mainly in scientific contexts to measure minuscule power levels.
Current Use
The attowatt is rarely used in practical applications but may be referenced in scientific research involving extremely low power measurements, such as in quantum physics or nanotechnology.
Horsepower (550 Ft*lbf/s)
Horsepower (hp) is a unit of power measurement, defined as 550 foot-pounds of work per second (ft·lbf/s).
History/Origin
The horsepower was developed by James Watt in the late 18th century to compare the power of steam engines with draft horses, and it became a standard unit for measuring engine power.
Current Use
Horsepower is still widely used today to rate the power of engines and motors in automotive, aviation, and industrial applications.
