<p>122.49.174.104: </p> <hr /> <div>== Brake Horsepower ==<br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> <br /> Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engine's horsepower without the loss in power caused by the gearbox, generator, differential, water pump and other auxiliaries. Thus the prefix &quot;brake&quot; refers to where the power is measured: at the engine's output shaft, as on an engine dynamometer. The actual horsepower delivered to the driving wheels is less. An engine would have to be retested to obtain a rating in another system. The term &quot;brake&quot; refers to the use of a band brake to measure torque during the test (which is multiplied by the engine speed in revs/sec and the circumference of the band to give the power).<br /> <br /> <br /> == Other pages ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsepower#Brake_horsepower_.28bhp.29 Horsepower]</div>
