Design of Onboard Engine Brake Power Tester

Abstract

Society’s growing demand for better, safer and economic vehicles has stimulated high interest in early fault finding especially in Engines and all associated systems which affect the performance of the engine and the power producing in it. For that we aimed in this project to build up an onboard engine brake power tester. This will give vehicle users the ability to know the level of produced power in their vehicles continuously in all operating conditions; this willhelp in early discovering faults and repair them. An electronic system designed to determine the angle of twist of driveshaft during power transmission and then computing the torque of driveshaft to convert it to power by specific equations. To build our system, we used all needed hardware components and software programs and interface them with each other, to completely achieve the system objectives in efficient way.
