| Too much praise SheetWise. If I see the word dynamometer an electrical solution is the first that comes to my mind. But some say I was born with a voltmeter in my head.... A disc brake with an arm attached to the caliper and a sliding weight is a simple mechanical solution. Or the clutch from an automotive A/C compressor and a variable power supply. Sorry, electrical again.

Like an electrical system, that would need calibration. The brake with a long lever doesn't.

| I used to work directly with engineers and they were always trying to impress each other, it got really weird at times with what they came up with once i worked at boeing vertol in the wind tunnel making and preparing test models, it go so bad between the developmental mechanics and engineers that the head honcho got us together and said if the engineer couldn't tell us what he wanted in language we could understand then he had the wrong man on the job
