Dyno-mite dynamometers

More than acceleration Hp can be measured with our DYNOmite absorption unit, because it utilises an actual strain gauge equipped torque transducer.
Measuring power under a controlled RPM load is vital for proper mapping of engine management systems and guess-free emissions work.
Beware of “dynos” that simply spin the vehicle’s tires up against the rolls’ inertia (“flywheel resistance”) or have no ability to accurately control or measure their eddy brake’s drag. Rather than actually measuring torque, they estimate it from the acceleration (similar to estimating Hp from drag-strip ET). Such units can’t maintain a MPH or RPM setting while displaying true Hp and torque (like the DYNOmite can)!

Sustained Hp and top end require absorption dynamometer (i.e. like our DYNOmite system). Unlike “acceleration spurt” inertial testing, these can load a vehicle indefinitely.* The absorber allows running controlled RPM step or sweep Hp tests. Everything is under computer control via the Electronic Auto Load.

Simulate driving conditions on our chassis dyno by letting DYNO-MAX and the PC take control. DYNO-MAX features a “Road Load Simulation” mode that simulates vehicle momentum, air drag, rolling friction, etc. We enter the vehicle’s weight and drag data and allow the software to monitor MPH vs. applied Hp, as it adjusts the dyno’s road load accordingly! To the drive-line and operator, the feel is like actually driving along.
