This is the basic dyno. The pillow blocks should align with the center of
mass of the engine/reduction unit if any. The push rod that operates the scale
is on an arm that is 1 foot from the centerline of the pillow blocks.
Put one on each side to account for reverse
rotation.
This is lunacy of course. The pillow blocks must align with the centerline
of the crank. Should the engine droop to one side or the other, a weight and
bracket my be added to the engine to achieve static balance.
All data and pictures may be hazardous to your health. If a propeller is in
use you may be injured or killed.
Stay on the side where the wind comes off. For both pushers and tractors,
please mount a chain link covered guard so that nobody can get any important
parts into the turning propeller.
You can use anything but the color blue. I got a copyright
on it.
