Press Release from miniPRO:

This is a inertia dynamometer (dyno) that measures the rpm, kv, voltage, current draw, power and torque output of a slot car. This dyno is great tool for motor analysis, gearing calculation, etc. The dyno is coupled at the tires of the slot car to accelerate the inertial mass. We will call this a ‘flywheel’ for simplicity. Our electronic board takes the flywheel’s inertia (resistance of an object to a change in its state of motion), measures the rate it takes to accelerate and calculates the output power and torque of your motor. Our dyno repeatedly measures and calculates power in small increments to produce an accurate graph on a PC of the engine’s power characteristics. 

Measurements:

  • Tire RPM
  • Motor RPM
  • Speed
  • kV/rpm
  • Torque
  • Power In
  • Power Out
  • Up to three temperature readings
  • Voltage
  • Current
  • mAh
  • Efficiency
