A chassis dynamometer.. A dynamometer or "dyno" is a device for simultaneously measuring the torque and rotational speed of an engine, motor or other rotating prime mover so that its instantaneous power may be calculated, and usually displayed by the dynamometer itself as kW or bhp.
A machine-tool dynamometer is a multi-component dynamometer that is used to measure forces during the use of the machine tool. Empirical calculations of these forces can be cross-checked and verified experimentally using these machine tool dynamometers .

Prony brake dynamometers at a tractor contest in 1910 Schematic of a Prony brake Actual Prony Brake built for testing 5HP Steam Engine. The Prony brake is a simple device invented by Gaspard de Prony in 1821 to measure the torque produced by an engine. The term "brake horsepower" is one measurement of power derived from this method of measuring ...
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. All Wheel Drive Chassis Dynamometer
A 6-minute ‘how-it-works video’ tutorial explaining how engine-dynamometer and chassis dyno eddy-current absorbers work. Most chassis dynamometers and many engine dynos use an eddy-current brake as a means of providing an electrically adjustable load on the engine. They are often referred to as an "absorber" in such applications.
In Design Of Experiment (DOE) testing where multiple changes are made at a time, subsequent chassis dyno testing can help determine how much of the total improvement was due to driveline modifications. The use of a chassis dynamometer can also be more time/ effort/ cost effective than having to remove the engine for testing.
A dynameter is an instrument that measures the magnification of a telescope.It is usually a double-image micrometer used to measure the diameter of the image of the object glass.
