A Power value represents power in watts or horsepower. It is stored as a
number of watts.
Note that since Watts is defined as Rate Joules Seconds (energy per unit
time), you can construct a Power value using Quantity.per:
power =
energy |> Quantity.per durationYou can also do rate-related calculations with Power values to compute
Energy or Duration:
energy =
power |> Quantity.for duration
alsoEnergy =
duration |> Quantity.at power
duration =
energy |> Quantity.at_ powerConstruct a Power value from a number of watts.

Who knew that there were not one, not two, but three possible interpretations of "one horsepower"? (Actually there are more than that, but these three seemed the most reasonable.)
