Page 10 - DYNO TTRAINER

Usage Rational:

Two materials in our consideration for dyno base structure were stainless steel and

aluminum. Although stainless steel comparatively costs lesser, aluminum was
chosen as our main material in machining the project’s base structure due its natural

characteristic to highly resist water and rusting. A dyno will be used under outdoor
circumstances, and is highly exposed to exhaust fumes and waste fuel. Aluminum

is sturdy and light enough to qualify for the outdoor feature, and with it being

corrosion resistant removes the need of coating and extra paintwork. T-slot
aluminum got its name by having t-shaped slots on all four sides. The original idea

of this dyno was to allow testing for remote control vehicles from slot cars up to 1/8
scales, therefore t-slot aluminum is able to give enough space for the front rollers

to displace from its maximum to minimum distance without need for further
machining. It is a whole new series of building material that comes with a wide

market availability for its accessories such as t-slot nuts, joining plates, gussets,

angled brackets and more. Lastly, t-slots are made by specific large-scale lathing,
and are almost near to complete precision, which makes it the most suitable material

the dyno would need for plane alignment.
