Default Prony Brake Ideas

This is my concept of a simple Prony Brake Dyno.

It's probably a little over kill to use a 1 1/2 ton disk for a 150 HP engine but, it would be trouble free, I think to at least 250 HP.

The way I drew it, is with a screw, to activate the MC. That way you could leave it will doing initial break in and it would make it easier to hold a torque reading.

Again, with this type of brake, the HP, uses the formula, Torque x RPM Divided by 5252.
