dynamometer

Turing the wheels during a test on the dynamometer can make the car jump off the rolls and harm people.

The old-school method is to get a grip dynamometer and keep a daily log.

The cheats are based around detecting when a car is strapped down to a dynamometer, indoors.

I've had to get the full dynamometer test every other year for over 20 years, costing over $80 each time.

In California we do it every other year but with more stringent dynamometer tests.

Sure, you could put the car on a dynamometer, convert the dyno to an electric generator and use the power to run your home entertainment system.

Would this be a plausible reason for a developer to write the dynamometer testing environment detection code?

"There are all kinds of reasons why a car has to behave differently while on a dynamometer and there are all kinds of special code branches that are executed only during test.

I revisited this thread and thought: How would I go about running these tests and creating awareness for this issue?A dynamometer would cover the vast majority of what they wanted to show.

I can personally attest to E85's increased stability and cooling power from my time personally playing and tuning on a chassis dynamometer and gathering real world data.

It would be interesting to know the particulars, but in general you hook up a cyclist up to a dynamometer and a ventilator, and you measure both the amount of work done and the amount of CO2 produced.

It's probably not easy, but if a white-enough-box test of the ECU shows it cheats by detecting a dynamometer using a simple expedient that has no practical use on the road, then you have evidence that will stand up in court.

In a typical demonstration, participants who are instructed to stifle their emotional reaction to an emotionally charged film will later perform poorly on a test of physical stamina—how long they can maintain a strong grip on a dynamometer in spite of increasing discomfort.
