What Is This Tool?
This unit converter allows users to change power measurements from exajoule per second (EJ/s), a unit for extremely large energy flow rates, into pferdestärke (ps), the metric horsepower commonly used in German-speaking countries for mechanical power.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value of power in exajoule per second (EJ/s)
-
Select pferdestärke (ps) as the target unit for conversion
-
Click convert to see the equivalent mechanical power rating
-
Review the result along with provided examples for clarity
Key Features
-
Converts power units from EJ/s to pferdestärke (ps) with a clear conversion rate

Suitable for translating planetary or astrophysical-scale energy into mechanical power terms
-
Supports understanding of energy scales used in climate studies and automotive industries
-
Browser-based and accessible without downloads or installations
-
Provides examples for easy reference and comprehension
Examples
-
0.000000000000001 EJ/s converts to approximately 1,359,621.6173039 ps
-
0.0000000000005 EJ/s converts to roughly 679,810,808.652 ps
Common Use Cases
-
Translating stellar or planetary scale energy fluxes into familiar mechanical power units
-
Interpreting climate or systemic energy data in terms of automotive power
-
Expressing engine power in German and other European vehicle specifications
-
Comparing vehicle power ratings in brochures and repair manuals using local standards
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use the converter for educational or comparative understanding rather than direct engineering application
-
Consider the large difference in scale when interpreting results between EJ/s and ps
-
Verify unit matches when converting power in automotive contexts to avoid confusion
-
Take note that pferdestärke is not an SI unit and is mainly regional
Limitations
-
The vast scale difference limits practical direct use; EJ/s is suitable for planetary or astrophysical measurements while ps is for mechanical engines
-
Pferdestärke is not part of the International System of Units and may lack international recognition outside specific regions
-
Conversions are mainly for educational, comparative, or contextual interpretation rather than precise engineering design
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 Exajoule per second represent in watts?
-
One exajoule per second equals 10^18 watts, representing energy flow on a very large planetary or astrophysical scale.
-
Where is pferdestärke commonly used?
-
Pferdestärke is mostly used in German-speaking countries and parts of Europe to express mechanical power, especially in automotive contexts.
-
Can I use this converter for everyday engine power ratings?
-
Yes, this converter helps translate very large power units into pferdestärke, which suits engine power ratings, but keep in mind the scale differences.
Key Terminology
-
Exajoule per second (EJ/s)
-
A unit of power representing energy flow of 10^18 joules per second, used for very large-scale energy rates such as planetary or astrophysical phenomena.
-
Pferdestärke (ps)
-
A metric horsepower unit historically used in German-speaking areas to express mechanical power; defined as 75 kilogram-force metre per second and equivalent to 735.49875 watts.
-
Power
-
The rate at which energy is transferred or converted, measured in units such as watts, exajoule per second, or pferdestärke.
