If memory and the Net is right, one horsepower is 746 watts in theory. So, that's about 6.5 amps, so maybe you could get 2 HP out of an electric motor, but that's just not that much when dealing with something like moving snow. So I guess my next question is: How much horsepower in a sun-in-law Lenny?
