Inertia dynos

An inertia dyno works by measuring the acceleration of a heavy drum. The more powerful the engine, the faster the acceleration will be. This is a very common form of dyno, and extremely simple in its operation. The main issue for a DIY’er is to get hold of a suitable drum. They typically weigh several hundred kilos.
