About Foot-pounds/second
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.
About Megawatts
The megawatt (MW) equals one million watts, used to express the output of power plants, large industrial facilities, and data centers. A typical wind turbine generates 2–3 MW, while a large coal plant may produce 500–1,000 MW. One megawatt can power roughly 800–1,000 homes simultaneously.
