What’s the difference between an Inertia Dyno and an Eddy Current Load Dyno?
Inertia Dyno: Calculates power by measuring how quickly the vehicle can accelerate a fixed roller. It’s simple, cost-effective, and ideal for motorcycles or basic power runs.
Eddy Current Dyno: Uses an eddy current brake to apply adjustable load, allowing steady-state, fixed RPM, and advanced tuning. Perfect for precise ECU calibration and repeatable testing.
In short:
Inertia dynos are great for basic testing, while eddy current dynos are built for professional tuning and control.
My workshop only has single-phase power supply. Is it enough to run a braked dyno?
Yes. All braked dynamometers offered by Dyno wiz can be connected to both single-phase or three-phase power supply. For more information go to the offer page and check electrical requirements of each dyno model.
Can the dyno communicate with the vehicle and read live data via OBD?
Yes. The dyno software supports OBD-II communication. You can connect a compatible OBD interface (like ELM327) via USB or Bluetooth to read real-time vehicle data such as RPM, throttle position, coolant temperature, and more — directly on the dyno screen.
Note: Make sure your OBD device is properly configured and supported by the dyno software.
