I normally use excel to do quick unit conversions.

Google have added a really neat feature.


Go to www.google.com
In the Google search field, enter "177 kW in HP"
Click search, and you get:

177 kiloWatts = 237.36091 HP

Cool!

The help does not say all of the supported units. I suspect the common ones, and the metric multipliers (k,m,c etc)

Been using that for ages. Also works for kPa to PSI. Not as much use for you guys though I suppose :)

Actually is does most imperial <-> metric conversions
try 14l/100km in mpg:
14 l/100km = 16.8010417 miles per gallon

-pete

The "imperial" units are really miles per US gallons in Google. I thought "imperial" meant "mppg" or "miles per Pommy gallon". Oh, well at least we can talk to the Europeans and the Canadians!

OT: More google fun
