A small engine dynamometer, or dyno, measures force and torque to calculate power output, crucial for characterizing motors. This project, led by Kory Delosa, will explore the design and implementation of a small engine dynamo, focusing on avoiding over or under-powering of connected components. The system includes essential materials such as a drill motor, inductive brake, optical sensors, strain gauges, a shaft, and disc couplings. The project will be guided by a Gantt chart and a bill of materials, optimizing resource acquisition as needed.

What Is A Small Engine Dyno? A dynamometer also referred to as a dyno, is a device that measures force and torque. With force and torque measured, power can be calculated. Dynamometers are used to characterize motors. They are used as tools to avoid over or under powering parts that are linked with the motor.
Bill of Materials Materials will be obtained on a need be basis. Currently no materials need to be purchased. Materials that will be used include. • Drill Motor • Inductive Brake • Optical Sensors • Strain Gauges • Shaft • Coupling • Disc(s)
