Pound-force-foot To Megawatt-hour Converter

Effortless Conversion from lbf·ft to MWh

Discover the simplicity of converting pound-force feet (lbf·ft) to megawatt-hours (MWh) with our efficient online tool, designed to provide quick and accurate conversions.

What are Pound-force-foot and Megawatt-hour

A pound-force foot (lbf·ft) is a unit of torque representing the rotational force applied at a distance of one foot from the pivot point, measured in pounds of force. It quantifies the twisting effect produced when a force is applied perpendicularly to a moment arm, which is the distance from the axis of rotation to the point where the force is exerted.

A megawatt-hour (MWh) is a unit of energy equivalent to one megawatt (1 MW) of power expended for one hour of time. It is a standard measure of electrical energy production or consumption over time, commonly used by power plants and electric utilities. One MWh equals one thousand kilowatt-hours (kWh), or roughly 3.6 billion joules.
