1. Water Brake (score: 1): Author: "3liter" <saltfever@comcast.net>; Date: Wed, 14 Sep 2005 21:09:20 -0700; I feel your pain Mayf. I have been searching for an inexpensive absorption brake for years. I have checked them all and your operative word "cheap" just ain't out here. Stutska, Superflow, Dayton, Go; /html/land-speed/2005-09/msg00151.html (8,163 bytes)
2. RE: Water Brake (score: 1): Author: "Dave Dahlgren" <ddahlgren@snet.net>; Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2005 06:07:05 -0400; don't forget how much water you will need. Anywhere from 300 to 1500 And dyno maintainence is not cheap either. Dave; /html/land-speed/2005-09/msg00152.html (8,992 bytes)
3. Water Brake (score: 1): Author: "3liter" <saltfever@comcast.net>; Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2005 22:07:35 -0700; Mayf et al: It is nothing for a 1200 HP big block to run right up to a 5,500rpm stall and then launch. Of course, the rate of slippage goes down as the car accelerates and the Torque Converter (TC) a; /html/land-speed/2005-09/msg00163.html (8,775 bytes)
4. Water Brake (score: 1): Author: "3liter" <saltfever@comcast.net>; Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2005 22:07:51 -0700; Dave et al: I agree water flow (and therefore volume) are the major considerations for a water brake. However, that may be the easiest to implement. You only need enough water to "absorb" the intende; /html/land-speed/2005-09/msg00164.html (7,595 bytes)
5. RE: Water Brake (score: 1): Author: "3liter" <saltfever@comcast.net>; Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2005 22:25:17 -0700; I agree, Sparky. That is what I have been thinking lately. You might not even have to use the big truck stuff. Just save your rotors after they are replaced on the pick-up truck. You don't have to be; /html/land-speed/2005-09/msg00165.html (7,692 bytes)
6. Re: Water Brake (score: 1): Author: Flowbench@aol.com; Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2005 01:28:53 EDT; Do the specific heat calcs and add 100% for design inefficiencies. Water volume is not an issue or problem. -Elon Gee, I think I'll sell my dyno. How can all this cost saving effort be less expensive; /html/land-speed/2005-09/msg00166.html (7,488 bytes)
7. Water Brake (score: 1): Author: "3liter" <saltfever@comcast.net>; Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2005 02:36:12 -0700; Come to think of it Mayf, you don't care about the heat produced or absorbed in the brake either. All you want to do is apply a resisting force to the crank to cause the engine block to react to it.; /html/land-speed/2005-09/msg00167.html (7,234 bytes)
8. Re: Water Brake (score: 1): Author: "John Burk" <joyseydevil@comcast.net>; Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2005 11:58:18 -0400; I like Joe Law's dyno . He borrowed somebody's absorption unit and machined a copy out of aluminum blocks . He mounts the home made unit in place of the rear and does his pulls with the engine in the; /html/land-speed/2005-09/msg00170.html (7,371 bytes)

With out a servo on the brake to hold an rpm you are just playing around. dave th; /html/land-speed/2005-09/msg00171.html (8,077 bytes)
