Hogwart on the Dyno at the Dorset Steam
Fair 2005
While driving through the Minatures
working area we noticed a Dynamo had been set up for the owners
of minatures to test the power of there engines. We connected
HOWART to the Dyno for a test just for fun and to see what HP
we could produce! The following pictures are from the test.
Many thanks to Keith who kindly took the photo's while we were
playing around! A short video clip
was taken with the engine running slowly while we were warming
the drive belt. The drive belt was crossed over to allow more
clearance over the belly tank. We lost paint on a couple of
rivets!
How well did we do? We produce 39 Amps at 250
Volts DC. This calculated as 13 H. P. We must have been revving
the DC generator quite fast to produce this voltage because
it was a 110 volt generator. Click the link below to see a video
clip! Thank you to the other modellers who helped setup and
perform this test. If you send me your names by e-mail I will
include you in this article!
