What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms power values from megajoule per second (MJ/s), a metric unit often used for large-scale energy transfer, into mechanical horsepower (550 ft*lbf/s), a common imperial unit used for engines and small machinery. It helps bridge metric and imperial units for accurate power comparisons.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in megajoule per second (MJ/s)
Select the target unit as horsepower (550 ft*lbf/s)
Click convert to get the equivalent power in horsepower

Key Features

Converts power values from MJ/s to mechanical horsepower (550 ft*lbf/s)
Supports conversions used in power generation, automotive, and industrial sectors
Offers easy online access for quick metric-to-imperial unit translation

Examples

2 MJ/s converts to 2682.04 horsepower (550 ft*lbf/s)
0.5 MJ/s converts to 670.51 horsepower (550 ft*lbf/s)

Common Use Cases

Expressing large energy transfer rates from power plants in imperial units
Translating power outputs of internal-combustion engines and garden equipment
