A horse can actually generate up to 15 horsepower! I hear the groom is a real dog! For good luck Russian bank Sberbank loans cats to clients who take out new mortgages. In August 2014, an 18-year-old girl married a dog under orders from elders in her village in India, because they thought it would lift an evil spirit from her.

We did an experiment in physics class in H.S. where every student did their best to generate 1 H.P. I managed to hit just over that mark. That was one of the fun labs!!

If one looks at only useful energy expenditure (the amount that goes into keeping the runner moving), a marathoner will generate about 1/5 horsepower. But, if waste heat is included, the marathoner will generate about 1 horsepower.
