Nanojoule/second
A nanojoule per second (nJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one nanojoule of energy per second.
History/Origin
The nanojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'nano' indicating a factor of 10^-9. It is used in contexts requiring very small power measurements, especially in scientific and engineering fields.
Current Use
The nJ/s is used in scientific research, nanotechnology, and precise energy transfer measurements where extremely low power levels are involved, often in the context of nanoscale systems or experiments.
Pferdestarke
The pferdestarke (ps) is a unit of power used primarily in Germany, equivalent to 735.5 watts.
History/Origin
The pferdestarke was introduced in the late 19th century as a metric unit of horsepower, named after the German word for 'horsepower'. It was used to measure engine power, especially in automotive and engineering contexts.
Current Use
Today, the pferdestarke is largely obsolete and replaced by the SI unit watt, but it is still occasionally used in historical references and in certain European countries for measuring engine power.
