KM vs Miles

[Dogtrousers]

More research suggests that a hamster on a wheel produces about 1mw, and weighs about 120g

That gives us
hamster:horse weight 1:5,667 (680 kg/120g)
hamster:horse power 1:746,000 (1hp=746W/ 1mW

Which does lend credence to the idea that rodents are less efficient than horses, poud-for-pound

And one horsepower is equal to 131.2 duckpower.

A horsepower is supposed to be what a horse can sustain for a whole working day. Many of us could probably exceed it in a sprint. 1990s Cipollini could probably have trebled it.

Peak output could be 14 to 20 horsepower.

What about a Swallow (European, not African)?

What about a Swallow (European, not African)?

About 356 required to produce one horsepower.

Hitching them all up could be the problem though.
