Horsepower (horse, HP)

Horsepower was formerly a widely used physical unit of power. Nowadays, horsepower is more often encountered only in the context of the performance of automobile and motorcycle engines. Horsepower has now been replaced by the more exact SI unit Watt. The English inventor James Watt came up with the definition of horsepower at the end of the 18th century.

Dual-mass flywheel

The dual-mass flywheel performs the same function as a conventional single-mass flywheel. However, the mass of the dual-mass flywheel is divided into two parts, with the main heavy part being elastically connected to the crankshaft. Thanks to this design, the dual-mass flywheel transmits its kinetic energy smoothly and dampens torsional vibrations.
