Convert nanowatt to horsepower
Please provide values below to convert nanowatt [nW] to horsepower [hp], or Convert horsepower to nanowatt.
1 nW = 1.3410e-12 hp. To convert nanowatt to horsepower, multiply the value by 1.3410e-12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 hp = 745700000000 nW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 nW = 1.3410e-12 hp
- 1 hp = 745700000000 nW
- 10 nW = 1.3410e-11 hp
- 100 nW = 1.3410e-10 hp
How to Convert Nanowatt to Horsepower
1 nW = 1.3410218586563e-12 hp
Example: convert 15 nW to hp:
15 nW = 15 × 1.3410218586563e-12 hp = 2.01153278798444e-11 hp

Nanowatt
A nanowatt (nW) is a unit of power equal to one billionth of a watt (10^-9 W).
History/Origin
The nanowatt is derived from the SI unit watt, with the prefix 'nano-' indicating a factor of 10^-9. It has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure very small power levels, especially in electronics and nanotechnology.
Current Use
Nanowatts are used in fields requiring precise measurement of tiny power quantities, such as in sensor technology, low-power electronics, and nanotechnology research.
Horsepower
Horsepower (hp) is a unit of power measurement originally developed to compare the power of engines and motors, representing the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred.
History/Origin
The term was introduced in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the power of steam engines to draft horses. It became a standard unit in engineering and automotive industries, with its definition evolving over time from mechanical to metric standards.
Current Use
Horsepower is widely used today to rate the power output of engines, motors, and other machinery, especially in automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications. It remains a common unit for expressing engine power in many countries.
