Calculating engine power via RPM acelaration ?

[Conrad]

Just found this site
<a href=http://www.charm.net/~mchaney/roaddyno/dyno.htm>Road Dyno</a>

U suply it info from your car like weight,gear ratio's,friction loses,temp,humidity,barometric presure,elivation

and it work out dyno values

can't we write program to analise csv log an give something similar ?
or mayby just an excel sheet ?

Thanks Conrad

Hi Conrad,

That's a very interesting idea. A spreadsheet would be the quickest route- I believe all of the data is there in the log, you would just need to add information regarding mass, gearing / diameter of driving wheels, etc. Apply some standard Newtonian physics and you should have reasonably close numbers.

Any volunteers?
