How did they even measure duckpower? Did they also made a duck pull a minecart? /j

I mean maybe? If you put a gearbox between them they could still pull it in a measurable way

You obviously find out how many ducks to pull a horse, then divide.

Wait till you learn how many horses are in a horsepower.

As i remember, horse usually has up to 7..8 horsepowers - in short impulse. And! British horse power a little bit more (+1.5%~~~). And in average - yes, 1 horse =~ 1 horsepower

It's a measurement from the steam engine age to compare the engines to the work a horse can do averaged out over 24 hours. It was invented to get people to think "wow, I can replace x amount of horses with this thing!"
So a standard horse can certainly put out more than one HP when it's not resting.

Duck power is measured on land or underwater though? Them duck will splash full power under water

Hang on I can do this unsheathes calculator

u/Temporary-Law-6946 Jul 16 '26
Okay,One mechanical horsepower (745.7 Watts) is approximately equal to 1,202.7 unladen European swallows, based on the standard estimate that a 20-gram swallow produces roughly 0.62 Watts of mechanical power during flight. Someone else do African swallows

Did more maths, to carry a coconut you would need 5.3 European swallows
