The method is universal and can be also used for four-stroke engines but it is especially useful for the two-stroke ones. The testing procedure is described and the advantages of that type of investigation method are pointed out. It has been proved that the reliability of the method is satisfactory. It was also proven that the individual construction of the inertial dynamorneter of good quality can be performed individually and that it can be a very useful investigation tool in engine tuning practice. The point has been stressed that the major advantage of that method is the possibility of the instantaneous measurement of the engine power characteristic during unsteady engine operation (acceleration) where the time for the single run does not exceed ten seconds.}, type={Article}, title={Inertial dynamorneter test rig for small, high performance engines}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/125381/PDF/6_MECHANICAL_47_2000_3_Mazuro_Interial.pdf}, keywords={piston engines, testing}, }
