Schematic water brake on a dynamometer A 4-minute ‘how-it-works video’ tutorial explaining how engine-dynamometer water-brake absorbers work. A water brake is a type of fluid coupling used to absorb mechanical energy and usually consists of a turbine or propeller mounted in an enclosure filled with water. As the turbine or propeller turns ...
The hydraulic dynamometer (also referred to as the water brake absorber) [4] was invented by British engineer William Froude in 1877 in response to a request by the Admiralty to produce a machine capable of absorbing and measuring the power of large naval engines. [5] Water brake absorbers are relatively common today.
The former Heenan & Froude offices, Worcester, September 2007 A Heenan & Froude developed water brake dynamometer Heenan & Froude was a United Kingdom-based engineering company, founded in 1881 in Newton Heath, Manchester, England, in a partnership formed by engineers Richard Froude and Richard Hammersley Heenan.
A chassis dynamometer, informally referred to as a rolling road [1] or a dyno, is a mechanical device that uses one or more fixed roller assemblies to simulate different road conditions within a controlled environment, and is used for a wide variety of vehicle testing and development purposes.

The de Prony brake (or Prony brake) has been considered to be one of the earliest dynamometers, but I don't know if it is claimed to be the first. C J Cowie 14:15, 23 June 2006 (UTC) Since William Froude was born in 1810, the invention of the Prony brake must have predated whatever type of dynamometer he invented.

Disk electromagnetic brakes are used on vehicles such as trains, and power tools such as circular saws, to stop the blade quickly when the power is turned off.A disk eddy current brake consists of a conductive non-ferromagnetic metal disc attached to the axle of the vehicle's wheel, with an electromagnet located with its poles on each side of the disk, so the magnetic field passes through the ...
