Bob,NC2Stay said:Siller, having never "dyno'd", what does one do? Put the vehicle on some kind of tester and do what? Gears, acceleration, etc.?
Thanks, Bob
I've taken mine to R&D Dyno in Gardena, and I've got to go back for more tuning soon. :coolI’ve typed this document to share some information about dynamometers. There probably aren’t many people who know me that are unaware that I have developed and built my own dyno for measuring the rear wheel horsepower of motorbikes. I will try and explain the basics as simply as possible, and I’ll also throw in some theory and maths for those that are interested. I'm not a writer, I'm not a programmer, I'm not an engineer either, I'm just a hack that wanted to build a dyno and managed to pull it off. A lot of the information I learned about dyno's and rotational physics I learnt from searching the Internet. The steepest learning curve was teaching myself how to program in Visual Basic, grab the data from my data acquisition module and graph it.
