    Very cool! We designed small engine dynos my 2nd year of Mechanical Engineering classes. Our group used a recirculating hydraulic pump and motor setup to eliminate brake pad wear. We varied flow restriction and measured the hydraulic pressure to determine power.

    Thanks, I was wondering how your dyno worked, good stuff 👍. Years ago when I was teaching small engines I rigged up an electric dyno using ammeters, voltmetes, and oven elements for resistance. I'm sure it wasn't very accurate but it gave the students some idea as to the changes in horsepower with different modes. This was before computers, and I didn't have your level of ingenuity. 👍

    • @kansasrose2909
      @kansasrose2909 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The data on the dyno is really well done. I have to hand it to Robot Cantina. The charts and graphs are well done indeed.
      The level of ingenuity in Jimbo is phenomenal. I have been watching this since the first videos and it really should be
      shown in schools.. This would really be more practical than some stuff in the curriculum now days.

    Great stuff! Just found your channel by accident. Loved the supercharged 459 story. Your garage is pretty much a power lab - impressive. Perhaps you could turn your attention to running these conversions on alternative fuels as these are around the corner for sure. When I 1st started @ work we were researching H2 storage (early 80's). We had a small side valve engine running on H2 (bottle) driving car alternator & battery, just to demo the idea of H2 as a fuel. Mistake.The chairman came round to see what we were up to. Hot summer day - 3 or 4 test starts (to be sure) - no problem....... Failed to start when required after much pulling on the starter cord by sweaty technician. It had got hot from tests & ambient temp and the mixture in the propane jetted carbide (already lean for H2) just wouldn't fire in hot carb-engine. He left immediately but as he got to the corner of the main building the H2 collecting in the exhaust ducting outside the lab fired & blew the lot into the carpark....they shut us down the following year & we moved onto batteries & EVs - too early in that too! Keep doing crazy stuff please.

      Hi Ben,
      I'm not sure you could rely on efficiency numbers to determine the actual load, The best you could hope for is an educated guess. In episode 24 we show our other dyno, and its just a Cadillac alternator. We pull 100 amps at 12V DC and dump it into a resistor load bank. In theory our electric dyno only absorbs 2 hp, however in reality it absorbs quite a bit more. Generally, whatever is used for a power absorber unit has to be mounted in a way that the torque it absorbs can be measured with a strain gauge.

  • @tsd560ti6

      Hi Maurice, Hopefully you watched the whole video. At the end of the video I show how the dyno was constructed including an overview of the electronics. I don't have a schematic for the dyno . The wiring was very simple if you are familiar with electronics. The dyno used a DATAQ DL-1100 which is obsolete and no longer available. You would need to check the DATAQ website to see what they currently offer in the form of dataloggers. There may be other dataloggers available from other venders. Keep in mind the magneto ignition on a lot of small engines throw a lot of EMI/RFI and whatever datalogger you use has to be able to tolerate the "noise" Arduino based dataloggers cant handle electrical noise.

    • @Lawrence330
      @Lawrence330 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You don't want it on your brakes on your car, but the dyno isn't meant to stop a heavy car, it's meant to load the engine. He says in the video that the WD40 "smooths the engagement" of the brakes. My interpretation is that it prevents a large spike in braking force during engagement, which might kill the engine rather than generate useful data. Therefore, the WD40 helps the brakes work "less well" in a desirable way for this application.

    Somewhat unrelated, this got me to thinking about power/weight ratios. I believe the go kart, when it was a car, used 50bhp to maintain a cruise. I suspect with the current weight that about 30bhp is the optimal. I also suspect it won't get worse mpg, once efficiency is optimized. That would probably take a 400cc motorbike engine, maybe out of a DRZ. Or maybe the Big Block can get there, eventually. I think getting to 60 in 20 seconds, like a beetle, would be a reasonable goal so you can at least avoid getting rear-ended.

      Horsepower (hp) is a unit of measurement of power, or the rate at which work is done, usually in reference to the output of engines or motors. There are many different standards and types of horsepower. Two common definitions used today are the mechanical horsepower (or imperial horsepower), which is about 745.7 watts and the metric horsepower, which is approximately 735.5 watts.
      Keyword here is imperal horsepower.
      Same thing for watt
      The watt (symbol: W) is a unit of power or radiant flux. In the International System of Units (SI), it is defined as a derived unit of (in SI base units)[1][2] 1 kg⋅m2⋅s−3 or, equivalently,[3] 1 joule per second. It is used to quantify the rate of energy transfer. The watt is named after James Watt (1736-1819), an 18th-century Scottish inventor.

      You would also need to calibrate that. The amount of power produced by the generator would be less than the amount of power delivered to it by the engine, since there are losses in converting the mechanical energy to electrical energy and they are quite substantial. By measuring torque and speed separately, you can more easily calibrate each of those independently, rather than measuring power directly which requires a known source of power.
