Dynamometer

A dynamometer is a device that measures torque and power by applying resistance. There are two main types: absorption dynamometers, which fully absorb the engine's energy through friction and heat; and transmission dynamometers, which transmit power to another device for measurement without wasting energy through friction. Common dynamometers include the Prony brake, rope brake, belt transmission, epicyclic, and torsion types.

Dynamometers

Dynamometers
A Dynamometer is a brake but in addition, it has
a device to measure frictional resistance.
Knowing the frictional resistance, we may obtain
the torque transmitted and hence the power of
the engine.
Types of Dynamometers

ii) Rope brake dynamometer
2. Transmission Dynamometer
i) Belt transmission dynamometer
ii) Epicyclic dynamometer

iii) Torsion Dynamometer
Absorption Dynamometer
• In the Absorption dynamometers, the entire energy
or power produced by the engine is absorbed by the
friction resistances of the brake and it is transformed
into heat, during the process of measurement.
• Used for measurement of moderate powers only.

Transmission Dynamometer
In the Transmission dynamometers, the energy is not
wasted in friction but is used for doing work. The
energy or power produced by the engine is transmitted
through dynamometer to some other machines where
power developed is suitably measured.
