required to tune RPM steps in ECUs, and allow
turbochargers to spool up to realistic boost levels.
They also offer a great horsepower-per-dollar
value, compared to expensive A/C motoring ab-
sorbers. In fact, their ability to also accept the
ActiveSync option, even after the initial purchase,
allows combining many of the benefits of R&D-
level A/C axle-hub dynamometer systems.

horsepower is available from DYNOmite load-
cell equipped eddy-current absorption systems.
They permit indefinitely* running steady-state,
RPM-step, or sweep-HP tests – under computer
control. Absorber loading is vital for ECU driv-
ability mapping or emissions work. In compar-
ison, inertia-only “dynos” can’t hold an RPM
point, but calculate power from flywheel (roll)
mass acceleration – like deriving HP from drag
strip mph. Eddy-current absorbers are well suit-
ed for axle-hub dynamometer tuner/testing ap-
plications. They provide the steady-state loading
