Example Project Page
Dyno Stabilizer
The project is narrowed down to the support of the dynamometer while the engine is being tested the output shaft that leaves the engine is too far from the actual dyno. This needs to be supported while being able to adapt to other engine shafts. The dyno does not support other engines, this is because the adapter from the engine to the dyno is specific to that engine and that the shaft height is incorrect for other engines.
Here is a link to my finished proposal.
Overhauling the CWU small engine Dynamometer in the CWU power lab will make it more ridged during the measurement of power in these engines. The goal of the project is to have the Dyno used in the Small engines class run by a professor and to be run by the students. The dynamometer does not work within the specified limits making it impractical to perform during lab.
