Explore how dynamometers measure power, force, and performance across machines and trains.
This concise overview explains the different kinds of dynamometers and how they work in practice. You’ll see how pull and speed are measured, how their product indicates power, and how recording diagrams capture changes over time. The text covers railroad use, including dynamometer cars and the way diagrams reveal work done and average speed over intervals. It also describes how different mechanisms—pistons, springs, or other devices—convert force into readable signals on paper or through tracing tools.
You’ll also encounter various applications, from testing locomotives and determining train resistance to evaluating power needs for road vehicles and boats. The material contrasts methods that weigh forces with those that measure shaft torque or shaft twist, offering a practical sense of calibration, accuracy, and the kinds of data engineers rely on in design and service.
- Learn the basic principles of measuring pull, speed, and power.
- See how recording systems translate motion into analyzable diagrams.
- Compare types of dynamometers, including those using pistons, springs, or other mechanisms.
- Understand how these tools inform locomotive design, vehicle power needs, and transmission testing.
Ideal for readers seeking a grounded, practical view of how dynamometers support engineering analysis and railroad and vehicle performance.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the dynamic forces that arise in various types of machinery, especially those with high operating speeds, such as steam and gas engines. The author provides methods for dealing with the inertia forces that arise in these machines, focusing on the action of reciprocating parts. In these engines, careful consideration must be given not only to balancing these parts to avoid undue strains on the machine itself or its foundations, but also to ensure that the engine's parts are properly designed to resist the stresses to which they are subjected. Other examples of the application of these methods include inertia governors, pulleys, flywheels, steam turbines, and centrifugal machines. The book also explores more specialized applications, such as the steering of torpedoes, the steadying of vessels at sea, and even the gyroscopic compass.
