Foot-pound To Megawatt-hour Converter

Effortless Conversion from Foot-Pounds to Megawatt-Hours

Discover the convenience of converting energy from ft-lb to MWh with our intuitive Foot-pound to Megawatt-hour Converter, designed by Newtum for accurate and quick calculations.

What are Foot-pound and Megawatt-hour

A foot-pound (ft-lb) is a unit of work or energy in the imperial and US customary systems. It is the amount of energy expended when a force of one pound is applied over a displacement of one foot in the direction of the force. This unit is commonly used in the United States for describing torque.

A Megawatt-hour (MWh) is a unit of energy typically used to measure electricity production or consumption. It represents one million watts of power expended for one hour. This unit is a standard measure within the electric power industry, reflecting the total amount of energy generated or consumed over time.
