ABSTRACT:
A vibration testing apparatus for detecting vibrations in a rotating internal combustion engine. The apparatus includes a sensor mounted on the engine and a timing circuit responsive to the firing of the spark plugs in the engine to generate successive time windows corresponding to the firing of each spark plug during which the frequency of vibrations are sensed by the sensor. The sensed frequencies and intensities of the vibrations are measured against pre-settable intensities for each cylinder of the engine which are settable with respect to the location of each cylinder to the sensor and, also, the firing order of each spark plug in the engine. This generates an output indicative of any excess vibrations within the engine and provides an indication of which cylinder in the engine such excess vibrations are being generated.
