    > Before cars, people used vehicles called "horses"... the market was never going to accept 1HP

    Funnily enough, horses actually produce much more than 1 horsepower. I think the story goes that James Watt estimated it would take a team of 10 horses resting and taking turns to pull a tractor/mill/whatever that keep 2 horses constantly busy, so that's how he calculated it.

    But over shorter durations, horses can produce much more.
