Foot-pounds/second to Kilowatts Converter

Foot-pounds per second (ft·lbf/s) equals approximately 1.356 watts, an imperial power unit occasionally used in mechanical engineering contexts. While less common than horsepower for engine ratings, it provides a direct connection between torque and rotational speed. One foot-pound per second equals about 1.356 watts or 0.00182 horsepower.

The kilowatt (kW) equals 1,000 watts and is the standard unit for measuring the power output of engines, electric heaters, and industrial machinery. Electricity bills use kilowatt-hours (kW × hours), making the kilowatt the most familiar power unit for consumers. One kilowatt equals approximately 1.341 horsepower.
