A dyno that is coupled directly to an engine is known as an engine dyno. A dyno that can measure torque and power delivered by the power train of a vehicle directly from the drive wheel or wheels without removing the engine from the frame of the vehicle), is known as a chassis dyno.
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
The first modern dynamometer car in the United States was built in 1874 by P. H. Dudley for the New York Central Railroad. The early cars used a system of springs and mechanical linkages to effectively use the front coupler on the car as a scale and directly measure the force on the coupler. The car would also have a means to measure the speed ...
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 torque. (Power is calculated by multiplying torque by rotational speed.) [1]
Grip strength is measured using a device called a dynamometer, which provides readings of how many kilograms of force someone generates when they compress its handle in their hand. Normal grip ...
The dyne is defined as "the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimetre per second squared". [2] An equivalent definition of the dyne is "that force which, acting for one second, will produce a change of velocity of one centimetre per second in a mass of one gram".
