What does 1 pound-foot per minute represent?

It is an imperial unit of mechanical power representing the work done when one pound-force moves through one foot in one minute.

Why use centijoule per second for power measurement?

Centijoule per second measures very small steady power levels, useful for scientific and low-power electronic contexts.

Can this tool help convert power for low-power sensors?

Yes, it is ideal to convert power units for devices like sensors, IoT nodes, and wearable electronics.
