    How to make a run on an old braked dyno.

    If I understand you well I should put the brake at its maximum (meaning smallest km/hour). Go with the car to full throttle and then release the brake (setting to a higher km/hour) in steps until fully released. I suppose at each step I should give the dynamometer the time to reach it's setpoint...

    How to make a run on an old braked dyno.

    Hello, I am having problems understanding how one could make a dyno pull from low engine rpm to high engine rpm at full throttle on an old braked(telma) chassis dynamometer. What should be done to the brake when making such a pull. Could someone give a hint?

    Has anybody been able to build his dynamometer with the eddy current brake?

    ROTATIONAL TORQUE TRANSDUCER

    I have seen their system. very nice but I can not use it for the moment. My meaning is to have a portable dyno like the rototest. A brake is to expensive (or they are asking crazy money for a simple thing), the problem is I can not build it myself (so it cost money again). What I well can do is...

    ROTATIONAL TORQUE TRANSDUCER

    I supposed that those torque sensors are expensive but that they are SO expensive I am not aware of. Like you guessed it, I would like to build a neat small machine that I can attach instead of the wheel. I need two of them on a 2 wheel driven car. In that way the car is attached to the two...

    ROTATIONAL TORQUE TRANSDUCER

    If I understand you well I have to do it this way : (engine)axle -> torque transducer -> ground Is this right? Could the ground be a kind of flywheel with a certain inertia? What is the influence of the inertia of the flywheel regarding the measured torque? Is the flywheel just necessary to be...

    ROTATIONAL TORQUE TRANSDUCER

    Hi, I am thinking of using an rotational torque transducer from some brand to measure the outgoing torque at the end of an rotating axe. There will be no external load at the end of the axe. Will this work? Or do I have to put the torque sensor between the axe and an external load (flywheel) or...
