Power

[Magnum]

All,

Sorry to start a new thread just to ask a simple question.
How many constant ft lbs of force does it take to make 1 watt of power? 10 watts? 500 watts?

Ft. lbs does not directly convert to watts. You need a time factor also.

0.73756215 ft. lbs of force for 1 second equals 1 watt.

73.756215 ft. lbs of force for 1 second should light a 100 watt light bulb for 1 second or a 10 watt bulb for 10 seconds.

Jim,

So what you are saying here is constant 737.56215 ft. lbs of torque will give me 1000watts.
