i just spent last hour researching Dyno setups to better understand this setup after reading through this topic earlier when @pbrink asked about it . i get what dyno’s do just not how they specifically worked to collect data. was gonna @MoeStooge ya, cause thought about your rocket ship. also looked like something fun & interesting to put together, and now you just all over again.
some details/schematics (even hand drawn) of any eSK8 dyno would be sweet to see or knowing @MoeStooge style, it’ll just appear.
Are you more concerned with the motors and ESC or the drive system as well?
Considering they are RC motors I’ve seen motors run with large propellers for testing. That would test the motor ESC and batteries if you’re able to data log.
I’ve seen a car alternator being used as well to provide resistance.
When ever I think of a eSk8 dyno I think of using a set of “track bicycle roller(s)” as a base. Track side we used these to warm up/cool down between sprint events…
Upsides of the double roller is it takes up less room than a barrel and stabilizes the rear axel. In my mind the barrel roller would allow for rear axel instability. Would give the operator a chance to work on speed wobbles without getting thrown to the ground at 40+… Hmm ?maby a hybrid with a small removable roller in front of the barrel… either way the WR board is going on a Cycle Dyno for some comparative baseline #s for the toolbox.
all over again.
