BTW how many watts is there to 1 HP? I have heard its somewhere between 740 to 750 but never have heard a definate number
I agree. Aim Higher. There are many out there surpassing those numbers now. Crazy, The eagletree will give you real world INPUT power nummbers, but not output numbers.

I saw a video somewhere around here of a nitro motor dyno, all you would need is an adapter to mount an electric motor in it and it should do the job. The dyno doesnt know what is generating the power, it just measures the power being generated. Putting an eagle tree on the input side would give you a comparision of input power to output power and allow you to measure overall system efficency. That would be really cool.

I would love to see something like this come together any way that it can happen. Its just that kind of tool that will tell how much better the high end motors are than the less expensive versions. I suspect it will be an EXPENSIVE project though.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...
