Calculate duckpower from horsepower or find horsepower from duckpower, plus convert HP to kilowatts and watts using standard power units.

Novelty convention: 1 mechanical hp = 131.2 duckpower. This does not measure the power of actual ducks.

hp to Duckpower Formula

The following stipulated novelty convention converts mechanical horsepower to duckpower; it does not claim actual animal output.

D = H × 131.2

Variables:

  • D is the duckpower
  • H is the horsepower

To calculate the duckpower, multiply the horsepower by 131.2.

What is Duckpower?

On this page, duckpower is a novelty unit stipulated as 1/131.2 of one mechanical horsepower. It is not a standard engineering unit, a measurement of a duck’s mechanical output, or a biological prediction. The calculator simply applies this fixed convention in either direction.

How to Calculate Duckpower?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Duckpower.


  1. First, determine the horsepower (Hp).
  2. Next, multiply the horsepower by 131.2 to get the Duckpower.
  3. Finally, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

Horsepower (Hp) = 10

Duckpower = 10 * 131.2 = 1312
