Are there any general tips for building an inertia dyno?
The following is a sample warning report which can be generated by the Dyno DataMite program. It shows some specific RPMs and MPHs based on certain sizes of components describing a particular inertia dyno system. These limits will change for various dyno systems as you change critical dimensions. —————————————————————— The following are general tips to explain that if you are not careful, your dyno could turn into a ‘bomb’, injuring or killing yourself and bystanders. As with any relatively high RPM rotating machinery, you should have the design checked by a qualified engineer. —————————————————————— The largest diameter in your dyno system is 30. inches. It is recommended that you do not exceed 1333 RPM There is no way the program knows exactly how your system is designed. Poorly designed systems should not be used at all, but should definitely NOT exceed 1000 RPM, while well designed systems can o
