Default RE: Conversion Between HP to KW

ORIGINAL: Ross Kean

1 KW = 1.341022 HP

Very difficult to make a real comparison between stated HP for a glow engine and KW of power for an electric.

Ross
very true, reason is that most electrics are rated in watts of power CONSUMED which is obviously going to be more than the power produced.

i know that MVVS rates their glow engines in watts so it is just a straight conversion... i like to use 746 watts=1 hp (or is that 748??)
