Large engines are compared to the horse to assess their power. For instance, my '05 Ford Escape has 208 HP. Why not use a small animal to assess the power of our saws. Using a couple sites I have done some math to convert the power of my saw (CC) to (HP) and then to (SP). My 362 has the power of 4,320 squirrels! Convert cc to hp or horsepower to cu.in. cc or cu.cm metric conversions Squirrelpower
We have an abundance of chipmunks here so perhaps we could do some sampling with several to determine the exact chipmunk power in those too.
Oh heck yes...432,000 squirrel power, no joke. It is a 1900 Lane 48 inch rotary sawmill with 327 Chevy Engine When we hooked it up to the old mill for the first time, we shifted the transmission into first gear and found it was too slow. We shifted it into second gear and found that it was too slow as well. Third gear was kind of the charm, but in a heavy cut the saw would bog down, the sawblade would dish and we would get thick/thin lumber. Still on a good day it can saw 5000-6000 board feet. Today we have a 6 cylinder White Diesel Engine sitting on an engine stand with hand clutch, ready to bolt onto the saw, but we all have bandsaws now. I would list the squirrel power on it, but I have no idea how many HP the White diesel engine is.
Ill show you what I know I dont know about what I know about squirrel feeders. So through some really far out math you get a 10,ooo sp engine with a bottle of skunk shot for boost?
Sure, we will call it a Fart Squirrel Turbo. Don't tell me I am the only one when going down the road and let a ripper fart come out do not turn to the Mrs and say, "Just the turbo kicking in", am I?
