Well, then, what does one say of Fujifilm, which includes the word
"film" in the company's name?

Why is your automobile still rated in horsepower?

Because no one knows what the f--- a joule is.

Apparently neither do you.
The basic unit of power is the watt.Horsepower just simplifies things for the
poor farmer plowing a field with a horse drawn plow, when he is being sold a
steam tractor.
Would this look like 110 horses to a 19th Century farmer, who is not likely
to understand 82 Kilowatts?

OK!

Try this:

One watt is the power which in one second gives rise to one joule of energy.
(that is where joule comes in) A joule has more to do with force/energy, and
little to do with power other than in defining the watt. Horsepower has
always been expressed in terms of watts, the number of which varies depending
on whether one is refering to boiler, electrical, or mechanical energy, and
is set between 736-746 W / hp.

So a 200 bhp automobile should actually have an out put of 149.14 Kilowatts
