standing around at work today i was thinking of this, and something rather amusing dawned on me. because i am not as eloquent as the gentlemen above, i steal my definitions from webpages:
from http://www.fordcobraengines.com/Horsepowerdefine.h tm
In James Watt's judgement, one horse can do 33,000 foot-pounds of work every minute. So, imagine a horse raising coal out of a coal mine as shown above. A horse exerting 1 horsepower can raise 330 pounds of coal 100 feet in a minute, or 33 pounds of coal 1,000 feet in one minute, or 1,000 pounds 33 feet in one minute. You can make up whatever combination of feet and pounds you like. As long as the product is 33,000 foot-pounds in one minute, you have a horsepower.
so far this is all fact
NOW
as men aren't created equal, it goes to stand that neither are horses. depending on size, age, breed, conditions, food, lifestyle, upbringing (ie: all the things that make humans different too) you're going to get a horse that is weaker or stronger than another horse
so whilst theoretically, you have a horse that can move 330lb 100ft in 1min. however IF you get a good horse, it could maybe move 300lb 100ft in 50 seconds, or it could move 350lb 100ft in a minute, or it could move 330lb 120ft in a minute. and what does this give you?
a horse with more than one horsepower!!!
ahh isn't life a crackup
