      Your curve fittings don't fit the measurements. You need at least a 3rd order poly to fit the measurement with its onset and steeper rise. The power numbers will be higher (and more precise) as a result I guess. But a 3rd order poly is "just barely enough". The best fit will most likely be given by a special exponential function but I don't know how advanced the curve fitting tool in the dyno software is.
      Hit me up if you want me to make a very precise power curve using a zero-phase lowpass filter on the RPM data instead of fitted curves. Therefore you'd know if it's the fit or something else that's keeping the power numbers down. (Friction and deformation in the gears might be another big factor that's adding to this)
      I'd LOVE to produce a nice power plot for you in Matlab, but in case you want to do this yourself, you can get the power of your dyno by this formula:
      T = 1/2 * m * r² * dw/dt
      P = T * w
      T: torque, P: power, m: mass of flywheel, r: radius of flywheel, w: angular velocity, dw/dw: angular acceleration
      You need at least a first order lowpass to smooth w (angular velocity) because the derivative of w amplifies high frequency noise linearly. Without filtering, the T and P (torque and power) curve would get noisy and the max. power reading would get unreliable.
      If you have RPM data from the wheel freewheeling I can also calculate the power loss from friction and air resistance of the wheel so that you can incorporate that into your model to compensate measurement errors. But I suspect the gears have a bigger impact.

    Flywheel weight is everything when it comes to Inertia dynos, you want the engine to take a little longer to get up to speed, the heavier the flywheel, the more accurate the calculations will be., it will give much more consistent results as any errors in the reading will average out a bit more too because of the longer sample time. a better pick-up would cut down on that noise too, but those earbuds will probably work ok as long as it's a fairly clean signal. Did you terminate the unused side of the ear-bud with a resistor or just leave the other bud connected?
    Those 3d printed flywheel supports gave me the heebyjeebies though, I certainly wouldn't trust them at 10kRPM!

      Did you consider the 2:1 gear ratio in the software? It's best to have a 1:1 in these types of dynos (open loop) - usually the larger the mass the better - or you should switch to a closed loop/brake hp dyno design with feedback (eddie currents) and field drivers (but maybe overkill for such low power).

      It's a simple magnetic pick up, most if not all modern engines use them for crank and cam position sensors. On those the magnet is stationary and a toothed wheel is what spins to induse an a/c signal and considering he used headphones he may want to invest in in an A/C to D/C converter considering computers only understand D/C digital signals and not A/C which is what he was producing. Also as a note add more magnets for a better much cleaner A/C signal and it will happen more often giving better data.

    I agree with everyone suggesting heavier flywheel, and 1:1 ratio gears. Given your concern for possible failure and injuries, Perhaps you could build a shield for the whole rig. Set it up so you and the laptop can be 3 feet (about a meter) away from the rig, with a remote fuel cut off switch. You might want to put dampers between the flywheel and the engine in some way. The vibration at idle was enough to rotate the flywheel. A heavier flywheel might fix the problem too. Now if you wanna consider a different dyno method, you could go electric motor based. A brushless battery drill motor would be more than beef enough to handle your engines. 750watts is equal to 1hp. Watts is Volts times Amps. So if the electric motor puts out 24vdc @ 19000 RPM, then all you need to do is measure current. Ideally you would have a variable load on the electric side. This will also allow you to measure Torque.

    • @cooperised
      @cooperised 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Everything about your idea is good I reckon, except measuring current to figure out torque. There'll be unknown losses in there for sure. It's much more accurate to mount the motor on some kind of hinged rig that lets you measure directly the torque on the motor can. Jeremy Fielding did it with a cheap kitchen scale, but you could use a load cell for the professional look!

      There would be. Ideally it would be a direct drive with the flywheel able to freewheel after the pull. Maybe an automotive style clutch could help? Also, air/fuel ratio could be throwing off the numbers, plus the engine hasn't been broken in. So, a list of things to do would be:
      -Lap the valves
      -Tune carb
      -automotive style clutch rather than centrifugal
      -play with fuel mixtures

      not really, how harder you spin it the better it grips, it slips on lower revs yeah but it will catch up and you would hear that in the engine if it hold mid rpm for some time before reaching max rpm.
      (my old moped had a 2 speed automatic with centrifugal clutches that even sat in a compartment filled with oil , and like i said they would let you know if they are slipping based on rpm behaviour. and you could see if the actual clutches are glazed by slipping and burning it)

      @willmcgo8288 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Inertia will change with the square of the gear ratio. If you have 1:2 ratio and go to 1:1, the effective inertia will change by a factor of 4.
      Use a shield to catch anything that let's go. I can testify that it's no fun having a disc spinning 9,000 rpm zipping around your work area. I was testing if we could go to 10,000 rpm when a heavy coupling bent a 1.25" diameter dyno shaft 45 degrees, then come flying off. Once that starts, it happens fast.

    Reckon you’re out by a factor of 10 (or 20 because you’re running at at half speed) and there basically no load on it, try adding tungsten to the flywheel or remake it in steel and get the mass up to the 5-10kg range, not sure your plastic mounts would hold up 10kg at 10,000rpm through. Typical inertia dyno drums for 100bhp are 100-200kg depending on dimensions

  • @riccardobartolucci7786
    @riccardobartolucci7786 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    That's a great work! Well done. For the revs, definitely what we hear isn't 9000 RPM but a lot more. That is because you got a gear in between the crankshaft and the flywheel shaft. Now, you should count the teeth of the big gear and divide the number by the teeth of the small gear. Then multiply the RPM by the gear ratio you calculated.
    Next, what do you use to calculate torque? I didn't see any sensor there. You could calculate the torque as
    I x d( omega)/dt where I is the flywheel inertia and omega the angular speed in rads per seconds. d/dt is modifying that angular velocity in angular acceleration. But I wouldn't recommend that.
    What gets done in 'real' Dynamometer test benches is:
    1) you don't have a flywheel
    2) that's replaced by an alternator
    3) measure the output current of the alternator to estimate the torque
    Or even better
    You put a loadcell to stop the alternator spinning, apply voltage to slow down the rotation and simulate the load and measure the force on the loadcell. Then
    T = Fb
    Torque is force by the distance between the loadcell and the centre of the alternator.
    I hope I helped a bit
    😁

    Yes, as you said in your video, you need a heavier roller and better pickup. I'm not familiar with that software, but if possible use a Hall Effect sensor. Also, you could apply a brake to the flywheel to apply max load. The goal is to measure the torque required to spin as much weight as possible under as much stress possible to the point of stalling (nearly) the engine.

    Hey man, love the vids. Serious legend for this little specific stuff. Anything in the transmission line to the measurement side (flywheel) will have an effect on your numbers. Like another said, as scary as it may be you probably need a one to one drive and ditch the clutch. I feel the one way bearings might give you issues too. Maybe find a way to stick together a simple slipper clutch to connect and disconnect everything. Also, not to freak you out, but that shield would do nothing if that flywheel actually popped. Don’t get friendly around it!

    Watching you install the bearing had me thinking you should look into a small arbor press. Even a jewelers press would be a great addition to your shop. You get a lot more feedback to your hands when you install bearings with a arbor press, and they are way easier to use than a vise to press in small bearings and shafts, and you end up finding all sorts of other uses for them. I use mine to hold glued parts together occasionally.

    Excellent build! One issue I saw is that your sound card sample rate for the headphone pickup was set to 11,025hz. At that samplerate you are going to have odd results above ~5500 RPM. Setting it to 44,100 or 48,000 should make things more consistent. It should be at least double whatever the maximum RPM is going to be (look up "Nyquist frequency").

    • @Skulljeep00

      Either double up the magnets or do a direct drive. The reduction gearing is causing a mis-read and the numbers to be low. And either add mass to the flywheel or ease into the throttle more slowly. Going ham on it is causing a short recording time for the data log.

    I have that exact same radio.... You can convert it to the 6-channel version by simply wiring in the extra 2 switches (the spots for them are already on the circuit board), install the switches (the holes for them are right under the stickers above the steering wheel), and then download and flash the 6 channel firmware from the manufacturers website into your radio. You'll get several other features in the 6-channel firmware also... It's as simple as that. The extra channels support a 3-way toggle switch on the circuit board, (center is 0 in the middle of the servo throw, left is -100, and right is +100).

  • @iangardiner8535
    @iangardiner8535 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I used to use this type of dyno on electric motors for model cars. They rely solely on the acceleration of the flywheel and are not best suited to an IC engine. How quickly you open the throttle and any hesitation in pick up will dramatically affect the results. A friction load dyno would give better results where the throttle could be held at a fixed point and the load varied to achieve a desired RPM. Best of luck in building one of those, far more complex. Great channel, love watching the engineering work. Sorry for the late input, only just came across it.

    • @davelowets
      @davelowets ปีที่แล้ว

      Yep. A dyno that can vary the load to the engine and control the engines RPMs at WOT would be the best solution, but an inertia dyno can yield results that are close. The issue with an inertia dyno is getting the weight (flywheel) to be enough so the power output of the engine takes a reasonable amount of time to spin it up to the engines maximum RPMs. A rising RPM curve that happens too quickly doesn't give enough data points or "resolution" for an accurate calculation. If the engine takes longer to spin the weight up to max speed, there are many more data points available and the end result calculation will be much more accurate

  • @771racing
    @771racing 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    More flywheel weight as others have suggested so your ramp up time is longer. I'd also consider adjusting the clutch to engage as close to just off idle as possible so the motor isn't cheating and doing it's own inertia dump at the start. For the run bring the revs up enough that the clutch is engaged but not increasing revs, wait a moment, THEN do the pull. It'll be tricky because of the one way bearings to get consistent results so you may want to see if you can trim the data to eliminate the initial spike at the start from the calculation?

  • @gfellerman
    @gfellerman 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    This engine must definitely give more HP.
    The Dyno software calculates the mass you're spinning and the speed it needs to reach max RPM to give you the power in torque and HP.
    I would look in the settings of the software.
    The reduction of 2:1 should double the real number close to reality (but not exactly but close enough) and the clutch at that speed shouldn't slip which should not give you a difference. Or ridiculous.
    Check the input in the software. Movement mass...
    And one more time awesome built and crazy details. I love the way you make things. Keep on entertaining us the way you do !!!

    I agree with everyone else's comments that the roller needs to be heavier, its just spinning up too quickly, and the gear reduction is amplifying that issue. Likewise, as someone else mentioned the 3d printed roller supports are a bit scary! I'd also suggest getting rid of the centrifugal clutch somehow to directly connect the engine and flywheel. Perhaps you can make a more traditional clutch or maybe it would even work without a clutch at all? As others have also said, maybe a more accurate sensor would also help?

  • @HomelabExtreme
    @HomelabExtreme 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a couple of sources of errors and a (possibly) better idea:
    1: The centrifugal clutch never locks up, so you will have slip and lost power
    2: The gearing also causes friction losses, both in the teeth, but also bearings because of the radial load.
    3: At these speeds, friction against the air become quite significant, but this is hard to avoid without using a vacuum or a gearbox.
    I would think measuring brake HP is the better option for small engines, as it is easier to get accurate measurements.
    A load cell attached to a neodymium magnet, on a slide towards an aluminum flywheel could be a viable solution.
    The eddy currents induced by the magnet, will brake the flywheel, causing a pull on the magnet which can be measured using a load cell.
    Varying the distance from the magnet to the flywheel, will vary the drag, so running the engine at max RPM, and slowly moving the magnet towards the flywheel will slow down the engine, as such you can get a nice detailed plot of the rpm and torque at given rpm.
