I was just curious how they came up with that number. That 746 watts equals 1hp in an electric motor. I am assuming that 1hp is the mechanical power of 550 foot-pounds per second. With friction and electrical inefficiencies 1hp motors usually sells for 1000 watts plus. Are you telling me that they have not been able to come up with an electric motor that can generate 1hp for less wattage than 746?
