What does an attowatt measure?

An attowatt represents an extremely small unit of power equal to 10^-18 watts, used mainly in scientific and engineering contexts to express very tiny energy transfer rates.

What is pound-foot per hour used for?

Pound-foot per hour is an imperial unit signifying mechanical power, often utilized to describe very low continuous mechanical output in legacy systems or historical equipment specifications.

Why are conversions between attowatt and pound-foot/hour so small?

Because attowatt measures ultra-small power and pound-foot/hour represents mechanical power with a larger magnitude, conversions result in very tiny decimal numbers reflecting this scale difference.
