I think that Horse power was origionally taken as the ability of one horse to lift a certain weight off the ground (via ropes and pullies) in a certain time. other than that I havnt got a clue.

BHP = Block horse power. Otherwise known as horsepower that your engine produces. WHP = Wheel horse power. How much of the BHP actually gets to the wheels for you to enjoy. BHP is same as horsepower at the crank, or at the flywheel. |

Sorry. I've called it block horsepower. That way, I don't have to explain that the brake (resistance) is used to determine the power blah blah etc etc.
