How Horsepower Is Measured In Cars

  • Torque and horsepower are both ways of understanding force where torque describes the capacity of a force to twist an object and horsepower describes that capacity over time. We'll examine how horsepower improves a car's ability to perform "work," and how an engineer uses a dynamometer to measure horsepower and torque curves.

But you forgot a few things like that some other manufacturers hp and lb-ft are measured at the crankshaft rather than the wheels. Let’s say that 707hp Dodge Challenger hellcat you showed actually has about 650 to the wheels. Basically wheel hp is just crank hp after taxes. But great work on the research

  • @ConsensusX

    Well, manufacturers usually advertise Brake horsepower (bhp). This is measured at the crankshaft just outside the engine, (with the engine outside the vehicle and no auxiliary components [alternator, water pump, etc..] attached) before the gearbox and drive train.
    The Wheel Horsepower (whp) numbers are ALWAYS lower than what's advertised.
    The Challenger Demon is advertised at up to 840HP but only puts out around 700HP at the rear wheels.

  • @alexandrunechifor

      Acceleration is important. So is chassis rigidity. Brake distance. Handling. HP and Torque are only a small part of driving enjoyment. That’s why Miatas are considered one of the most fun cars, despite having less than 200 hp. Which isn’t much in today’s sport cars.

  • @chrisbruce1137
    @chrisbruce1137 4 роки тому

    This video isn’t very accurate! Torque is measurement of how much force is needed to rotate something. In this video, BI used a crank shaft as an example when in actuality, if you bring your car to your local tuner and dyno it, the torque and horsepower figures reflect how much power the car made to the WHEELS not the actual engine it’s self. The average rear wheel drive car suffers a 15% drivetrain loss but that figure varies depending upon which dyno your using. The example used in this video is what some techs refer to as flywheel power or crank power and thats when you dyno the engine by itself which requires the engine to be pulled from the car. Their not wrong but showing a car on a dyno then using crank torque instead wheel torque is a little confusing!
