HP calculation

Postby Sandra » Mon Apr 09, 2007 3:05 pm

Hello!
Is there anyone who knows how to calculate the power at the wheel on a rolling road?

I know how to calculate the power directly on the engine but it is the power on the wheel I am interested in. I have tried many different calculations but I always get too high values.

It is exactly the same as measuring engine power directly.

All you need to know is roller rpm, and the torque developed by the rollers. Wheel Hp = Roller torque in Ft/lb x roller rpm divided by 5,252
Also known as the infamous "Warpspeed" on some other Forums.
