Q: Is a dynamometer used? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Are dynamometers generally more costly and complex than other types of dynamometers? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Are dynamometers employed in a number of other roles? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Are dynamometers used for measuring the back? ¶
A: Yes, and grip, arm, and/or leg strength of athletes, patients, and workers to evaluate physical status, performance, and task demands.
Q: Are dynamometers symmetrical? ¶
A: Yes, a 300 kW AC dynamometer can absorb 300 kW as well as motor at 300 kW.
Q: Is a dynamometer usually equipped with some means of measuring the operating torque and speed? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Are dynamometers one of the most efficient technologies in small and less) dynamometers)? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Are dynamometers typically very expensive pieces of equipment? ¶
A: Yes, and so are normally used only in certain fields that rely on them for a particular purpose.
Q: Is a dynamometer used to test one of the transient test cycles for early development and calibration? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Are dynamometers a specialized type of adjustable-speed drive? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Was a dynamometer invented and made public in 1798 by Edme Régnier? ¶
A: Yes, and a French rifle maker and engineer.
Q: Are dynamometers not to be confused with "inertia" dynamometers? ¶
A: Yes, and which calculate power solely by measuring power required to accelerate a known mass drive roller and provide no variable load to the prime mover.
Q: Is a dynamometer similar to an eddy current dynamometer? ¶
A: Yes, and but a fine magnetic powder is placed in the air gap between the rotor and the coil.
Q: Is a dynamometer inherently limited in the amount of torque that it can absorb? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Are dynamometers currently the most common absorbers used in modern chassis dynos? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Is a dynamometer sized for the maximum required absorption? ¶
A: Yes, and whereas the motoring dynamometer is sized for motoring.
Q: Are dynamometers available that eliminate the potential for wheel slippage on old style drive rollers? ¶
A: Yes, and attaching directly to the vehicle hubs for direct torque measurement from the axle.
Q: Were dynamometers produced in 1881 by their predecessor company? ¶
A: Yes, and Heenan & Froude.
Q: Are dynamometers used to provide simulated road loading of either the engine or full powertrain? ¶
A: Yes, In fact, beyond simple power and torque measurements, dynamometers can be used as part of a testbed for a variety of engine development activities, such as the calibration of engine management controllers, detailed investigations into combustion behavior, and tribology.
Q: Are dynamometers useful in the development and refinement of modern engine technology? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Was a dynamometer invented by Martin and Anthony Winther around 1931? ¶
A: Yes, and but at that time, DC Motor/generator dynamometers had been in use for many years.
Q: Is a dynamometer then converted into heat? ¶
A: Yes, and which generally dissipates into the ambient air or transfers to cooling water that dissipates into the air.
Q: Are dynamometers typically limited to lower RPM due to heat dissipation problems? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Are dynamometers used for routine screening of grip and hand strength? ¶
A: Yes, and the initial and ongoing evaluation of patients with hand trauma or dysfunction.
Q: Was a dynamometer invented by George Graham and mentioned in the writings of John Desagulier in 1719? ¶
A: Yes.
