How many horsepower does a painted turtle have?

Question

me and my roommate found a painted turtle randomly wandering around our back porch area. we were wondering how much horsepower turtles have... anybody know???

Answer 1

does it have modified exhaust pipes?

....look under it's tail to see

...the modifications may have increased the h.p. by 5%

...also, look into the breather system...if a new airfilter is the cyclindircal type, that also increases turtle h.p. by 3% to 15% depending on the type- of turtle

....that leads me to the most important aspect of determing turtle h.p., which is:  "what type of paint job does the turtle have?"

...if it is slick, and has a clearcoat finish, the odds are highly favorable that your turtle has less wind resistence and is capable of surpassing 1/2 kph if properly motivated

....are you a turtle?

Answer 2

Let's try to estimate an answer for you -  Power  = F v  or Force times velocity.  So if the velocity of the turtle is 1 meter in 100 seconds or .01 m/s and the force would equal the weight of the turtle or about 50 grams = .5 Nt then the Power would be .005 Watts and since 1 Horse power is 745 Watts , then a turtle would have about 7 X 10-6 Horsepower

Answer 3

I really don't think that turtles would have any horsepower since they walk slowly. But I really don't know.
