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.

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.
