A dynamometer is basically a tool to deliver an effective comparison or analysis of an engine output or performance. Dynamometers are a lagging indicator, which means the dyno only tells you what has occurred during the dyno run or test period. After you have applied your best engine building skills, the dyno serves the purpose of evaluating the engine’s capabilities…

Improve Your Car S Performance By Using Dynamometers
The dynamometer is a device used to measure mechanical force, power and torque produced by an engine. Its inventor, Charles Babbage, is also known as the “Father of Computing. There are basically two types of dynamometers: the first one is bolted directly to an engine, and it’s called engine dyno, while the second type of dynamometer can measure power and…
Examining The Dynamometer Data
After you have performed your desired dynamometer tests, you need to take a look at the information you received. If you have a manual recording system you should calculate and transform the torque and rpm readings into horsepower numbers. If you’ve got a manual electronic data collection the next step will be to print out the data. On personal computer…
Does Dynamometer Testing Damage The Car
There is no actual proof that dynamometer testing might damage the car in any certain way. While performing tests, dynos don’t interfere with the engines performance and more importantly, don’t do any damage to it. Some of the things that may cause damage to engines are over-revving, excessive heating, shock loading or incorrect fuel or ignition settings. If however your…
