    Very cool! We designed small engine dynos my 2nd year of Mechanical Engineering classes. Our group used a recirculating hydraulic pump and motor setup to eliminate brake pad wear. We varied flow restriction and measured the hydraulic pressure to determine power.

      Good for you on studying mechanical engineering. There is such a wide range of topics for that pursuit. I wonder how you were

    Thanks, I was wondering how your dyno worked, good stuff 👍. Years ago when I was teaching small engines I rigged up an electric dyno using ammeters, voltmetes, and oven elements for resistance. I'm sure it wasn't very accurate but it gave the students some idea as to the changes in horsepower with different modes. This was before computers, and I didn't have your level of ingenuity. 👍

    • @kansasrose2909
      @kansasrose2909 2 роки тому +3

      The data on the dyno is really well done. I have to hand it to Robot Cantina. The charts and graphs are well done indeed.
      The level of ingenuity in Jimbo is phenomenal. I have been watching this since the first videos and it really should be
      shown in schools.. This would really be more practical than some stuff in the curriculum now days.

    Great stuff! Just found your channel by accident. Loved the supercharged 459 story. Your garage is pretty much a power lab - impressive. Perhaps you could turn your attention to running these conversions on alternative fuels as these are around the corner for sure. When I 1st started @ work we were researching H2 storage (early 80's). We had a small side valve engine running on H2 (bottle) driving car alternator & battery, just to demo the idea of H2 as a fuel. Mistake.The chairman came round to see what we were up to. Hot summer day - 3 or 4 test starts (to be sure) - no problem....... Failed to start when required after much pulling on the starter cord by sweaty technician. It had got hot from tests & ambient temp and the mixture in the propane jetted carbide (already lean for H2) just wouldn't fire in hot carb-engine. He left immediately but as he got to the corner of the main building the H2 collecting in the exhaust ducting outside the lab fired & blew the lot into the carpark....they shut us down the following year & we moved onto batteries & EVs - too early in that too! Keep doing crazy stuff please.

      @@mikescudder4621 I am going to refer to wikipedia:
      Horsepower (hp) is a unit of measurement of power, or the rate at which work is done, usually in reference to the output of engines or motors. There are many different standards and types of horsepower. Two common definitions used today are the mechanical horsepower (or imperial horsepower), which is about 745.7 watts and the metric horsepower, which is approximately 735.5 watts.
      Keyword here is imperal horsepower.
      Same thing for watt
      The watt (symbol: W) is a unit of power or radiant flux. In the International System of Units (SI), it is defined as a derived unit of (in SI base units)[1][2] 1 kg⋅m2⋅s−3 or, equivalently,[3] 1 joule per second. It is used to quantify the rate of energy transfer. The watt is named after James Watt (1736-1819), an 18th-century Scottish inventor.
      The SI is the metric system that I am referring to. That watt is SI the horsepower is not.[Edit] put both in same comment

    One of the problems with small, high revving engines is internal friction relative to rpm. If you have 20 units of internal friction at 2000rpm, you will have 80 units of friction at 4000rpm. Yes, high rpm makes more power for any given size engine, but the price is fuel efficiency decreases as the parasitic drag of internal friction jumps dramatically. Rolls Royce figured this out in the 1930's building the aircraft racing engines along other cool things, like smaller piston bores are more prone to detonation than larger bores. By the 1940's companies like Curtiss Wright, Pratt and Whitney had extremely precises math on the energy losses going out by every pathway from an engine.
