An apparatus for measuring force or power; especially, muscular effort of men or animals, or the power developed by a motor, or that required to operate machinery.
A machine for measuring the horsepower and torque of an engine.An engine dynamometer measures power delievered to the flywheel; a chassis dynamometer measures power delivered to the drive wheels. Sometimes shortened to dyno.
A device which absorbs and measures the power derived by an internal combustion engine.
A Dynamometer is a machine used to measure power output. An engine dynamometer measures output at the crankshaft.
An instrument used to measure engine output.
An instrument for measuring draft of tillage implements and for measuring resistance of soil to penetration by tillage implements.
Various devices used in testing a motor or engine for such characteristics as efficiency and torque, especially an instrument that measures current or the power of a motor by calculating the force between a fixed coil and a moving coil.
A device used to measure the power output of rotating machinery. In it's simplest terms, a dynamometer is a power-absorbing brake, incorporating an accurate method of measuring how much torque (and horsepower) is being absorbed. Braking is accomplished through friction (usually a hydraulic absorber) or by an electric dynamo (converts energy to electricity). Modern computer-controlled dynamometers for high-performance automotive use have sophisticated speed controls that allow the operator to select the rpm point or range of speeds through which the torque is to be measured. Then the operator opens the throttle and the dynamometer applies the precise amount of load to maintain the chosen rpm points; horsepower is read out directly on a gauge and/or computer screen.
An instrument used to measure the degree of muscular power.

a unit used to measure torque and horsepower
Mechanical instrumentation that allows for measurement of concentric and eccentric muscle action, muscle endurance and muscle balance ratios. Usually associated with isokinetic testing, providing variable, accomodating resistance.
Device for measuring power input or output of a mechanism.
an instrument for measuring force exerted or power expended.
( noun) An instrument used to measure the horse power of a vehicle at the tires.
An apparatus for measuring force or power developed by a motor, or that is required to operate machinery. It usually embodies a spring to be compressed or weight to be sustained by the force applied, combined with an index, or automatic recorder, to show the work performed.
Apparatus in a laboratory used to test brake system performance.
A machine that measures the power by absorption derived from an internal combustion engine.
Device for measuring power output or power input of a mechanism.
A device used to place a load on an engine and measure its performance.
