What Is This Tool?
This online converter allows you to transform power measurements from foot pound-force per second, a customary mechanical power unit, into exajoule per second, which is used to express extremely large energy flows such as planetary or astrophysical power levels.
How to Use This Tool?

Key Features
-
Converts mechanical power from foot pound-force per second to exajoule per second accurately.
-
Supports power measurement scales ranging from small imperial units to vast planetary energy units.
-
Browser-based and easy to use for quick power unit conversions.
-
Ideal for mechanical engineering and astrophysical energy scale comparisons.
Examples
-
10 foot pound-force/second equals approximately 1.3558179483294e-17 EJ/s.
-
1000 foot pound-force/second converts to about 1.3558179483294e-15 EJ/s.
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying small mechanical power outputs for hand tools or engines in imperial units.
-
Calculating power from torque and rotational speed in mechanical engineering.
-
Comparing small mechanical power values with massive planetary or astrophysical energy flows.
-
Studying climate or systemic energy using planetary-scale power rates.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure values entered in foot pound-force per second are precise for meaningful conversions.
-
Use this converter to relate everyday mechanical power to very large energy scales thoughtfully.
-
Interpret extremely small converted values carefully due to the vast scale difference.
-
Remember the different typical usage contexts of each unit to apply conversions appropriately.
Limitations
-
The large scale disparity results in very small converted values that may be challenging to interpret.
-
Foot pound-force per second is suited for small mechanical powers; exajoule per second applies only to extraordinarily large energy flow rates.
-
Direct practical applications for this conversion are limited due to differing usage contexts.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does foot pound-force per second measure?
-
It measures mechanical power in imperial units, defined as one pound-force applied over a one-foot displacement every second.
-
Where is exajoule per second commonly used?
-
It is used to quantify extremely large energy flows such as stellar luminosities, planetary energy budgets, and astrophysical power rates.
-
Why are converted values so small when converting to EJ/s?
-
Because exajoule per second measures energy at a scale of 10^18 joules per second, small mechanical power values convert to very small fractions of an EJ/s.
Key Terminology
-
Foot pound-force per second (ft·lbf/s)
-
An imperial unit of power representing one pound-force moving through one foot each second, used for small mechanical power measurements.
-
Exajoule per second [EJ/s]
-
A unit of power measuring energy flow at 10^18 joules every second, used for very large-scale energy rates such as planetary or stellar power.
-
Power
-
The rate at which energy is transferred or converted, measured in various units depending on scale and context.
