What is a waterbrake?
Some Dynamometers use water as a load mechanism during engine testing. Water flow proportional to desired applied load is used to create resistance to the engine or motor. A controlled flow of water is directed at the absorber center, and via centrifugal force, is expelled towards the outside of the dynamometer and into the stator. As the water hits the stator, it decelerates, causing an applied load to the input device. Through the water's continual acceleration and deceleration, load may be controlled and measured. This is a very effective and safe way to measure the performance of an engine running under a controlled load. The dynamometers feature water as a braking mechanism, (or absorber), hence the name waterbrake.
