What's happened to me...

[78Eliminator]

I've come to the point where a 1200HP engine is way more exciting than a naked woman. I don't even look at those threads. Am I loosing my mind?

Not sure how to repond to that, happy about the motor. But come on naked women :p

[Jordy]

Are you sure you want to know the answer to that J??? It goes against the "don't ask, don't work out" policy we have around here. :D

[Eric455]

how about you have a few naked woman sit next to your 1200 hp engine, for a while and then decide to have sex with either the woman or the engine. i think the woman will please you more....
just another stupid opinion, thats all :D :(

Why do they call it Horsepower? :confused:
Do they measure it against the number of horses?
I am not an expert

[RiverKitty]

Have you seen a doctor for this problem???
Maybe some viagra would help, eh??? ;o)

Do they measure it against the number of horses? In the old days they actually did. It seems to me, and I'll have to double check it, that 1HP is the power required to lift 33,000 1' off the ground in 60 seconds... don't hold me to it just yet as it's off the top of my head. :D

[Jordy]

Everything you ever wanted to know about horsepower and then some. BTW, I forgot the "lbs" after the 33,000 in the previous post. My bad. :D
The term horsepower was invented by the engineer James Watt. Watt lived from 1736 to 1819 and is most famous for his work on improving the performance of steam engines. We are also reminded of him every day when we talk about 60-watt light bulbs.
The story goes that Watt was working with ponies lifting coal at a coal mine, and he wanted a way to talk about the power available from one of these animals. He found that, on average, a mine pony could do 22,000 foot-pounds of work in a minute. He then increased that number by 50 percent and pegged the measurement of horsepower at 33,000 foot-pounds of work in one minute. It is that arbitrary unit of measure that has made its way down through the centuries and now appears on your car, your lawn mower, your chain saw and even in some cases your vacuum cleaner!
What horsepower means is this: In 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.
You can probably imagine that you would not want to load 33,000 pounds of coal in the bucket and ask the horse to move it 1 foot in a minute because the horse couldn't budge that big a load. You can probably also imagine that you would not want to put 1 pound of coal in the bucket and ask the horse to run 33,000 feet in one minute, since that translates into 375 miles per hour and horses can't run that fast. However, if you have read How a Block and Tackle Works, you know that with a block and tackle you can easily trade perceived weight for distance using an arrangement of pulleys. So you could create a block and tackle system that puts a comfortable amount of weight on the horse at a comfortable speed no matter how much weight is actually in the bucket.

I am not an expert 1HP=550(ft*lbf)/s
or
One horsepower equals 550 (foot*pound force)/second

[missboatnam1]

pump her, thats funny!! but there is always two sides to that....you guys dont always float around like little angles :D wink :D
well maybe justin does now :D eek! :D eek!
LOL :D

[Seadog]

A guy can have the perfect relationship with a women and will always want to check out other women. The maturity level comes when you are considerate enough to not drool when with your mate and you do not cross the fantasy/reality line.

Answer me this: do you think it's self destructive to be a speed freak? Like this morning I was riding my motorcycle to work and I told myself I would take it easy, but ended up doing 150 in the car pool lane. Is this wrong of me? I just love the rush. It's like a drug. Same with boats, I guess.

[missboatnam1]

as long as its not going up your nose!! :D
damm justin what do you drive???

The real problem with doing a $50 in the care pool lane is thier 's no were to run :D

[Tinkerer]

How about a 1500 HP motorcycle??? Guy I know has one. 0 to 100 in 60 feet. Supercharged running on NITRO METHANE

[wsuwrhr]

I regularly take mine to 175, what does that make me? Superdave013's cousin rides his to 218. I think you need to get into a different mindset, you are actually slower than average. It's OK, really it is.
