- What
is a Chassis Dynamometer?
- How
does wheel torque compare to engine torque?
- What
is an Inertial Chassis Dynamometer?
- If
an Inertial Dynamometer doesn’t allow for steady state
engine tuning, why use an inertial dynamometer?
- Why
do I need to evaluate and/or tune vehicles under steady-state
test conditions?
- Will
torque and power data reported from an air-cooled
eddy current dynamometer become less “accurate” or “repeatable” as
brake temperature increases?
- Is
an inertia dynamometer more repeatable than an eddy current
dynamometer (or vice versa)?
- Why
do I get more power on an inertial dynamometer than I do
an absorption dynamometer (or vise-versa)?
- What
role does roller diameter play in the design of a dynamometer,
and how do I decide which roller size is best for my application?
- What
is “Vehicle Simulation” and how will I benefit
from it?
- Will
my Elapsed
Time Tests with the 7000 Series Eddy Current Controller
be more accurate when the dynamometer is “cold”?
- What
is a Cradle Roll Chassis Dynamometer?
- What
does Steady State mean, and what type of Power Absorber is
right for my application?
- Why
does the dyno show a power loss after a differential gear
change (say a 3.42 to 4.10 rear gear)?
- We
ran a test for my car at 3500lbs, which is the approximate
weight of the vehicle with me in it + 1/2 a tank of gas. Should
we have used the curb weight instead?
- As
far as the aero factor goes, is there any correlation to
the coefficient of drag for a vehicle? For example, my car
is a 0.36, whereas a BMW 3-series is a 0.28.
- To
simulate an inertial dyno test, would you use "manual
load" rather than a simulated ESS run, correct?
- Are
hub-type dynamometers more accurate because they remove the
tires, which are non-repeatable and inconsistent?
- Do
hub-type dynamometers offer more accuracy because they can
read small changes in output?
- Can
my car come off of a roller dynamometer and crash?
- Can
I test automatic transmission vehicles on a Mustang Dynamometer?
