ABSTRACT:
The Inertial Dynamometer System measures and indicates the gross horsepower being produced by a vehicle's prime mover at any instant, accounting for aerodynamic, frictional and viscous drag in addition to gravitational and inertial acceleration factors. The system is adjustable and self calibrating to adapt it to the characteristics of the vehicle in which it is installed. The system allows indication of as many as 21 of the variables involved in measuring and indicating instantaneous gross horsepower. The method for determining gross horsepower is to sum the power used for accelerating the vehicle and the power used for overcoming aerodynamic viscous and frictional losses.
