What is a Dynamometer or "Dyno"?

Shown is my own Dynamometer trailer that I used while developing my own dyno systems and software.

At its simplest, its a means of measuring an engines power in Horsepower or Kilowatts.

 

Slightly more complex ones like this one (mine!) can give you a print out of your bike or cars BHP versus RPM and Torque versus RPM.  It does this by running the back wheel (in the case of a bike) on that steel drum, at full power.
