Water brake - power absorber
#1
Have anyone tried a water brake on Austin 7 engine .I think the only and lightest way to get some load on engine out of car. Even standard engine 13 BHP /2400 RPM  in other words ,you must take 10 KW heat away for some time .
I don´t have a water brake ,but have tried an Eddy brake from a excercise bike .But this get very hot in few minutes at little more than idle speed,and torque is too low to make decent brake . If you only  use it some hours to bed in rings and get spark plugs up at 500degr c ,to burn oil and soot away,then to buy one are rather expensive.
