Eddy Brake Engine Dynamometer

Our Senior Project Team

Our senior project team consists of five mechanical engineering students at CSUS, all members of Hornet Racing Formula SAE. Our project will allow future generations of the team to test and validate data.

The Goal

Design & Manufacture an Eddy Brake Engine Dynamometer for FSAE Engine tuning & component validation

Eddy Brake

An eddy current brake was chosen for its precise, non-contact load control, allowing the engine to be held at specific RPM and torque points for steady-state tuning, while ensuring consistent, repeatable data collection with minimal maintenance.
