A transmission dynamometer is a device used to measure the power output of an engine or motor through its transmission system. It works by applying a load to the engine while measuring the torque and rotational speed, allowing for the calculation of power. This information is crucial for evaluating engine performance and efficiency. These dynamometers are commonly used in automotive testing, research, and development. They help engineers and technicians understand how well an engine performs under different conditions, which can lead to improvements in design and fuel efficiency. Transmission dynamometers are essential tools in the field of automotive engineering.
