Talk:Engine power

Since this article is on "Engine Power," shouldn't the tables all be power-to-weight ratio of the *engine*, not the vehicle? Otherwise this should be combined with the "Power-to-weight ratio" article.

Vague Page
How can this be a page on "Engine Power" when all one can see are tables on Power-to-weight ratio figures? There are no talks of types of engine, BSFC, MEP, Thermal efficiency etc. I suggest these tables be merged with those of Power-to-weight ratio & this page be scrapped until someone comes up with sufficient information. Daimler Ben (talk) 01:41, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Merge or clarify title
There is already a good technical article on horsepower; as noted above, this is a really a list of engines. It needs to be renamed or incorporated into other articles such as Power-to-weight ratio. -- phoebe / (talk to me) 15:36, 27 January 2019 (UTC)


 * I agree, this article is pretty much just a vague "something" with a giant list. The article lacks a useful explanation what the subject is. Considering that engine power and "regular" power are both the same ( L·M2·T&minus;3), I'd say there is no difference. I suggest a redirect to Power (physics). What do you think, phoebe? --Johannes Maximilian (talk) 12:17, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

Cleanup required
This article is basically just a list of motley examples, and it lacks even a very basic explanation of the topic. I suggest removing most of the examples, and turning this article into what I'd call a "reasonable stub". --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 10:37, 11 April 2020 (UTC) PS: Many of the external links are dead. --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 10:41, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

Energy or Work rate is misleadingly named Power
Power is sinonimous to force in common languages. Therefore it is named to misslead people. It should be called "energy or work rate" (at which the energy is transformed into force). The fluid's flow doesn't have a simmilar unrelated definition.
