HP, if I remember my physica classes properly, is a set measurement, like
watts, or inches, or the like. I just can'r remember what it's proprtional
to, and I'd have no clue as to how it's applied to electric motors... I just
try to use the numbers to get the most bang for my buck- what I'm supposed
to need, plus 10-50%, if possible.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
