That moment when your entire concept of horsepower gets shattered! 🐴 Most people assume one horsepower equals one horse's strength, but nope - a single horse can actually generate up to 10 horsepower in short bursts! The unit was created by James Watt in the 1800s based on how much work a horse could sustain over a full workday (about 1 HP), not their peak performance. Your car engine suddenly makes a lot more sense... and horses deserve way more credit for being absolute powerhouses!
