I picked up an old emissions dyno that supposedly absorbs only 25hp. Thought it would be perfect for my application, testing engines from 8 to 15 HP. Upon taking this thing apart I found that the brake was physically much larger then expected. The rotor is 55cm in diameter and 34mm thick. The stator has 2 (large) magnetic coils. Somewhat obviously this flywheel will have considerable inertia and my concern is if this brake can be effective for my purposes. Should I continue or head in a different direction?
Thanks

Hi, the inertia is no problem. YourDyno calculates the power coming from the load cell + from the acceleration of the inertia. All dynos have some inertia, as long as it is compensated for it is ok!
