Do-It-Yourself Free Dyno Plans
Here are suggestions, with links to free plans and drawings, to home build low-cost do-it-yourself dynamometer frames, stands, dyno test-cells, etc.
"These plans are made available on an as-is basis – WITHOUT WARRANTY!"
Before you begin, review some of these Tech-Talk articles below. They may help you decide
what parts of your project you want to handle yourself. Note: many of the required specialty components: absorbers, data
acquisition, deck plates, rolls, software, etc. may be purchased as separate components from Land & Sea.
Designing a Soundproof Test Cell - for engine or chassis dynamometer testing.
Chassis roll diameter vs. dyno test time - read warnings from Goodyear Tire about running on too small a diameter rolls.
Chassis roll diameter vs. tire deformation - read how too small of a roll diameter limits the capacity of chassis dynos.
Chassis dyno roll balancing - details to consider when balancing rolls for high-speed chassis dynamometer testing.

*Note: These free, with the purchase of any of our data-acquisition systems, plans are not for the same designs as the DYNOmite models Land & Sea manufactures and sells. For example, they feature more simplistic construction methods and utilize more generic components (where practical) to allow for local fabrication. THESE FREE PLANS ARE MADE AVAILABLE ON AN AS-IS BASIS – WITHOUT WARRANTY!
