Dynamometer

[Fwann15]

I'm designing a test rig for a 1m diameter Tesla Turbine. I'm currently choosing between a hydraulic dynamometer and an eddy current dynamometer. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Is there a better dynamometer option for measuring the torque and power? And what are the essential components that are needed for each type of dynamometer? Thank you in advance!

Hi

Have you tried Googling the advantages and disadvantages of both for yourself?

Yes, but I would like to have a better insight into the advantages and disadvantages of this particular application. I kind of know what is the essential components for the dynamometers mentioned above, like water supply or electric supply. But I'm not sure if this is all the additional components I need for each dynamometer.

If you can't find in on the internet, it doesn't exist ;-)
