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Today, the pferdestarke is largely obsolete and replaced by the SI unit watt, but it is still occasionally used in historical references and in certain European countries for measuring engine power.
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.
