INTEGRATION OF A SMALL ENGINE DYNAMOMETER INTO AN EDDY CURRENT CONTROLLED CHASSIS DYNAMOMETER

LAKE, RYAN DOUGLAS

Abstract Details

2006, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering : Mechanical Engineering.
The task of tuning an engine from scratch can be very time consuming and difficult if the right equipment is not utilized. Several different types of dynamometers with feedback control systems exist that enable a tuner to simplify the process. However, most of these systems are designed for specific applications and engines. Typically, the proper equipment is determined based on the budget and requirements of the tuner. The most common engines for Formula SAE (FSAE) cars are usually motorcycle engines or something similar. Unlike the usual car engines, which have separate transmissions, these engines and transmissions are built together. A complete custom engine dynamometer stand and corresponding connection between the transmission output shaft and the dynamometer is necessary.
