No, I am saying 33 gigajoules is equivalent to 12hp over 1hour. Which it is. I just converted the hp to watts, which is perfectly fine, then I plugged in the proper time which is in secconds, one hour = 3600 secconds. 12hp is very roughly rounded, and the concluded answer was extremely comparable. If I directly converted 12hp over to electrical watts with no loss of energy I would still only get roughly 9kw which would be enough energy if stored to run my house which consumes 3kwh for roughly 3 hours. Its a bunch of math, but it is well reasoned. I know it is difficult to understand converting between these to things.



Joules are a measure of energy (energy is defined as the ability to do work)

Work is power * time and is measured as an SI unit of joules

Power is the rate at which work is performed or energy is converted

Time is, well you know what time is



By looking closely at these properties you can conclude that power over time is work or hp over one hour is joules



When I use the word over I don't refer to a fraction or division problem I refer to something occurring over a period of time.
