You hear the term "horsepower" all the time, but where did the measurement actually originate? The term "horsepower" was coined by James Watt (inventor and mechanical engineer). While selling his engines, he was asked a question. How many horses could one engine replace? This gave Watt the idea to create a new piece of clever marketing, a new unit of power to represent this concept to the farmers and miners he was selling to: “Horsepower”.
