Hi Paul,
I have been thinking of a way to dyno engines. It getting harder to
get an engine done these days due to most companies opting for the
wheel type dyno.
What are your thoughts on using a torque converter from a motor
vehicle and lock down the output shaft. then reading the pressure and
calibrate it. The oil could be cooled externally if required.
Regards Don

That is similar to a water pump dyno. The oil will heat up real fast.
200 HP is 149 Kw a bunch of heat. What the water dyno guys do is build a
800 gallon water tank. One reason why they are getting scarce :)

The power (heat) in a static prop gets blown away so it is the cheapest way to
make a dyno. Your guys could knock one out in a day.
