Im 5'4 and I want to get prom shoes that have a 4 3/4 inch heel (no platform). My prom date is 5'8. How tall will the shoes make me because I'm super scared to purchase them and end up being taller him! [Editor Rob: if they don't have much platform then you won't really get that much over 3 inches.Editor Rob: you can easily buy a platform heel (if they are advertised in the shop as 5.5 or 6 inch) and still be shorter than him, they might give you 4-4.5 inches but of course your date would likely be standing 6ft 2 in his shoes, and you at most 6ft 0.5, so still a bit shorter.
Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engine's horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox, alternator, differential, water pump, and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump, muffled exhaust system, etc.
BHP vs PS. There are a number of ways to measure the power that can be generated by a mechanical device like a car. The most popular is brake horsepower or BHP, which is a method of measurement for vehicles without the encumbrance added by connecting devices like the gearbox and transmission system. In comparison, PS is a unit of power in German. Although PS is very popular in Germany and in Europe, it is rarely seen anywhere else. There are a number of ways to get the brake horsepower of an engine using a number of devices like the De Prony brake.
