Velvetpants57 Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 new toy and a new project. can anyone guess what it is Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 i really dont know what it is :D propane conversion? Quote Link to comment
SRSANDS Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) Its a portable water-brake dynamometer...............gimme my buck chuck Edited October 30, 2009 by SRSANDS Quote Link to comment
Velvetpants57 Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) Damn Damn Damn i thought it would be harder than that. it was free and its been used once, i found a guy who collects dynos, and will sell me a set of rollers for $800. the cradle it is sitting in was for shipping apparently. also the programing has already been started so that i can run it off of Labview/matlab/excel. it will be a fun addition to the garage Edited October 30, 2009 by Velvetpants57 Quote Link to comment
bagged_datsun Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 afterburner!! damn, looks like he got it lol Quote Link to comment
Velvetpants57 Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 its a go power corporation d516 water break dyno capable of handling 800hp 800ftlb torque. Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 What are you gonna dyno first? That bicycle? Quote Link to comment
Madness Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 .... wow .... how does it work? sorry im only 23 :D Quote Link to comment
fairlady66 Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 It's a muffler bearing press Quote Link to comment
b210in Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 it's a blow job machine Quote Link to comment
freekwonder Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 it's a blow job machine Definitely not a married woman than. It's a muffler bearing press You sure? It looks more like the machine used to swap high pressure headlight fluid. Quote Link to comment
WagDatto Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Haha, some of the guesses are cracking me up. The way a water brake works, to my understanding, is that the dyno is attached to the crank of the motor, the motor is revved, and water is added to the dyno until it holds the engine at a steady rpm, calculating the power. Circulating the water in/out keeps the dyno cool, and the pressure that the rotor moves against the water in the dyno measures the torque. I might be slightly off on that, but I think it's a pretty basic description? Quote Link to comment
72wagun Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 If you know the torque (from that transducer on the side), wouldn't you just need the RPM, and you would have the HP? HP = torque x RPM / 5252 I don't know. I'm just wondering. Quote Link to comment
Velvetpants57 Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 you have a relitively correct definition of a water break. all it does is provide a known quantity of resistance from which, with the pressure transducers, we can calculate produced torque, then hp. this one was set up to be connected to a wheel roller. yet again i plan on doing some programing so i can use it as a chassis dyno. running just the motors it can read up to 800 hp and tq. using rollers i will be able to read up to i think 450 hp 400 torque. To answer the first question. im going to dyno everything in sight. that bike in the background is an atk 406 cross country. next to it is an xr650r set up for desert racing, followed by a cr250, and finally another atk 406 and a husqvarna 610 wxe. and yes they are all getting dynoed. then the cars, hell everyones cars. it will be cool. its a bitch getting that many dirbikes into your kitchen, on the second floor Quote Link to comment
