It aims to provide a forum for engineers and technologists to share their findings. Articles are reviewed by peers to evaluate against the following criteria:</p> <ul> <li class="show">Importance of the research topic and the crucial need for a viable investigation. </li> <li class="show">The originality of the findings and creativity of researchers</li> <li class="show">The validity of engineering tools used in the design, construction, and/or testing a concept. </li> <li class="show">Presentation and clarity in writing.</li> </ul> https://jiiet.com/index.php/jiiet/article/view/107 2025-08-06T23:45:00+00:00 Pranaya Pokharel pranaya.pokharel@msutexas.edu Jesse Green jessegreen3600@gmail.com Theron Honore theronhonore@gmail.com Elias Tezaguic ricardotezaguic@gmail.com

<p>Dynamometers, commonly referred to as dynos, are indispensable tools in validating automotive design concepts. This study focuses on testing engines with a displacement of 710cc or less, aligning with Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (FSAE) guidelines. The dynamometer design incorporates features like vibration reduction mechanisms and customized Arduino code to simulate one FSAE driving scenario: steady state driving. At the core of the dynamometer's operation is an eddy current brake powered by an AC source, employing Faraday's Law of electromagnetic induction to mimic dynamic resistance. Engine power is transmitted to the eddy current brake through a meticulously analyzed shaft, engineered to withstand torques of up to 65 Nm. The dynamometer's design emphasizes modularity, facilitated by adjustable front and rear mounts securely fastened with bolts and nuts. The frame is built to house electrical components, and adjustable mounting regions to connect the eddy current brake with the engine via the designed shaft. Once operational, our engine dynamometer will serve as a valuable tool for monitoring various engine parameters, including power output, torque, engine speed, fuel consumption, exhaust gas composition, as well as coolant and oil temperatures. This comprehensive data collection will significantly aid in evaluating engine performance under various FSAE driving conditions.</p>
