dyno INSITES
Whether you are an engineer responsible for designing an engine test cell, an operator, an engineering student, or simply a person interested in engine testing, the Dyno Insites podcast is your source for real-world, practical engine dynamometer conversation. We don't engage in lengthy banter. We get right to the point with a focus on educating our audience.
Gathering information about dynamometer test systems can involve scouring through numerous technical websites and often the information lacks the practical application aspect one seeks to fully understand engine test systems.
Join hosts and Froude engineers, Mike Golda and Chris Middlemass as they share a combined 60 years of engine test cell experience during this informative, 10 - 30 minute, monthly podcast. By the way, we don't have a fancy sound studio, we're recording in the back electronics lab in our Novi, MI location. We do our best to edit out obvious distracting noises, but we are all here and working, so the podcast may catch a bit of background noise-- perhaps a door closing or other sounds of a busy facility!
If there's a topic you'd like us to cover, or if you would like to be a guest on dyno insites, please email podcast@froudedyno.com.

Designing an Engine Test Cell: Overview
Welcome to Part 1 of a multi-part series centered around designing and building an engine test cell. In this initial episode, Mike and Chris talk about their personal experience with test cell design and discuss the differences between portable and non-portable test cells. Join us to hear a good overview of what's involved in planning for a new test cell. Future episodes will dive into more detail and cover specific areas of test cell design such as:
- Test Cell Foundation
- Room Design & Construction
- Ventilation & HVAC
- Cooling Water Supply Systems
- Electrical
- Fuel Delivery/Measurement
- Facility Controls
- EHS
Thank you for listening! If there's an engine testing topic you'd like us to cover in future episodes, or you'd like to be a guest on dyno INSITES, please email podcast@froudedyno.com.
