A dynamometer becomes much more than an output gauge when it utilizes a power-absorption unit. By altering the dyno’s resistance in sync with road speed, ...

The dynamometer outputs a chart that looks like this. On it, two lines are plotted: a line for torque and another for horsepower. Peak torque is where the engine produced the most force.

A dynamometer is essentially a variable load for a rotating shaft, something that converts the kinetic energy from the shaft into heat while measuring the power being transferred.

A Digital Dynamometer - Tech Talk. Brad Barnhill’s freeware “Virtual Dyno” uses real-world data-logging to bring dyno tuning into the digital age. HOT ROD Staff Writer Sep 07, 2012.

Saginaw-based Wineman Technology Inc. last week announced the release of DynEdge and ServoEdge integrated, multi-loop data acquisition controllers. Wineman also announced upgrades to Rapid, an ...

Bragging rights are not exactly what [Jeremy Fielding] has in mind for his DIY dynamometer, nor is getting the particulars on a big Detroit V8 engine. Rather, ...

Since the dynamometer will operate at low speeds, the back EMF may not be large enough to measure. The MTTB team decided to use an encoder to measure rotor position with high resolution.

Anyone who has experience with a chassis dynamometer knows it can be a little tricky capturing peak performance, mainly because of how smart (and dumb) many new transmissions (and the software ...

The dynamometer creates resistance to test the performance and overall functionality of the engine. The first turbine engines tested at the depot took place in 1983.

During an event in Utah, USA, this pickup truck was hooked to a dynamometer and was revving to achieve 3000 horsepower during the test. It gave up a cloud of black smoke. However, when the truck ...
