https://jiiet.com/index.php/jiiet <p>The <em>Journal of Innovative Ideas in Engineering and Technology</em> (JIIET) is published by the Hyposcience Academic Center in Canada on a monthly basis. The International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) is 2563-3678 The journal is open access and peer-reviewed, publishing original research findings across different areas of engineering. 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> Hyposcience Academic Center en-US Journal of Innovative Ideas in Engineering and Technology (ISSN: 2563-3678) 2563-3678 <p>The JIIET is an open-access journal meaning that upon publication of research, it will publicly available on the web and can be accessed via search engines. &nbsp;In contrast with traditional journals which charge readers a fee via subscription or single purchase, open-access journals charge authors a fee to pay ongoing costs for lifetime storage of articles.</p> <p>Authors keep the copyright of published articles in JIEET. &nbsp;The journal provides a platform for authors to publish their works, receive credentials, and keep their name associated with the idea. We recommend authors to apply for an official copyright certificate via the copyright offices in their country.</p> <p>We at JIIET do not tolerate any research misconduct including plagiarism, playing with data such as trimming, cooking, and forging. We only publish original research works. In other words, your research should not be published in any other journals, books, and conference proceedings. However, presented works at conferences and workshops are acceptable for publications.</p> <p>JIIET does not accept any responsibility about the consequences of releasing your idea on the web. &nbsp;The only method of protection, which is suitable for publication, is the copyright. This needs authors to apply for copyright through copyright offices. If you like to keep your idea secret for patenting, we do not recommend to publish your idea.</p> https://jiiet.com/index.php/jiiet/article/view/107 <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> Pranaya Pokharel Jesse Green Theron Honore Elias Tezaguic Copyright (c) 2025 Pranaya Pokharel, Jesse Green, Theron Honore, Elias Tezaguic 2025-08-31 2025-08-31 1 1 1 73
