I'm ok (I think) except for the Physics question. There are people I could ask but as that's not allowed I won't be doing that! Pfffttt!

There are still some things that stick in my head from my mechanical engineering college course and I assume it is mechanical horsepower we are referring to @mi_Amigo ?
