It's a Swedish Vacuum Pump!

or a dyno?

Have you seen Burgerman's D.I.Y. (Inertial) Dyno for motorbikes?

It is a dyno or rolling road.

To measure BHP and Nm on the car and faultfinding in general.

ah nice one

wish i had the skill to build something like that

first time i've seen this thread, but will keep an eye on it

have no idea of the mechanics of it lol.
how will it work? ie how will you get a reading from it, set it up, and how will you know how accurate it is?

Inertia based rolling roads are quite simple, they are simply a set of flywheels. Knowing the moment of inertia (which can be calculated from the dimensions and mass), and having a speed sensor on the rollers you can calculate the rate of change of speed of the rollers and work back to power input with some relatively simple maths.

Couple of things you'll need to think hard on - grip material (even pro roads seem to struggle with this at times). Would it not have been easier to buy a bus retarder and not use flywheel's (so you can do steady-state tuning)?

The idea of an inertia dyno is quite simple wich I prefer.
I dont have the money to just buy stuff so I have to make it myself.
And homemade things are always better. :-)
