What are Hartree and Inch-pound

The Hartree, symbolized as E_h, is a unit of energy used in the field of atomic physics. It is defined as the amount of kinetic energy an electron carries when moving around the nucleus of a hydrogen atom in the ground state. The Hartree is equivalent to approximately 4.359744650 x 10^-18 joules. It's a fundamental constant that reflects the natural energy scales within atomic systems, named after the British physicist Douglas Hartree.

An inch-pound (in-lb) is a unit of torque, representing the force applied at a one-inch distance from a pivot point. It is commonly used in the United States for measuring the amount of rotational force, or 'twist', in mechanical systems such as engine parts, fasteners, and machinery. One inch-pound is equivalent to the torque resulting from a one-pound force applied perpendicularly to a one-inch long moment arm.

History of Hartree and Inch-pound

The Hartree energy to inch-pound converter stems from the need to relate atomic-scale energies to more tangible mechanical units. Originating from the scientific pursuit to bridge quantum physics with classical mechanics, this converter allows for practical applications of Hartree energy calculations in various fields such as chemistry and material sciences.
