What are HorsepowerHour and Kiloton

A horsepower hour (hp·h) is a unit of energy equivalent to the work done by a power of one horsepower operating for one hour. This measurement is not commonly used but can be utilized in various industries, including automotive and energy sectors, to quantify large amounts of energy over time.

A kiloton (kt) is a unit of energy typically used to describe the energy released by an explosion, particularly nuclear explosions. One kiloton is equivalent to 1,000 tons of TNT (trinitrotoluene) or 4.184 terajoules. This unit gives a concrete number to the otherwise abstract concept of large-scale energy release.
