hey all, as you may or may not know, I am playing around with some different engine designs for a project, and I am using small engines, under 5 HP, and I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion about how to get a reading so I could determine what gave me more power vs what could hurt performance? I was thinking something like make a frame, bolt in the engine and a large electric motor, run a 1:1 ratio pulley and put a volt meter on the electric motor then i could try to calculate watts and convert to horsepower. I suppose I would have to get a strobe to get rpm as well. any other bright ideas? thanks
