patrickshelby Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) Whoa! But the dyno looked flimsy in the first place... I feel sorry for the Shelby owner. At one point, the young guy in the background points to something (that must look bad) and start to go away!

ViperNC Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I kept watching the video knowing it was going to blow and the anticipation actually caused some anxiety. Damn..... it's like watching a bomb go off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertlane Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 my first thought was - what kind of dyno is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDTAIL Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 and you sign a little paper that says if your car gets hurt there not responsable. that looked bad JIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Rodgers Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Crazy I hope the owner of the car was the one behind the wheel otherwise this really sucks. Sucks either way, but that would make it a lot worse. Thankfully it appears no one got hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010KonaBlueGT Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 my first thought was - what kind of dyno is that? It looks like a Clayton (above ground) Chassis Dyno. They're not made for calculating max HP or TQ but rather to load the engine up so you can find a misfire under load by using a O-scope in conjunction with it.. They're also used for calibrating speedometers and checking brake bias (side to side). The idea is to put the car in 4th (1:1) gear, load the dyno as you press the gas to maintain 55mph and compare HP from vehicle to vehicle or pre-tune vs post-tune power. A typical "Tune-up Shop" would have one of these as opposed to a Eddy/Load dyno. I've worked in 3 different shops with a Clayton (and I have Clayton Chassis Dyno training) and believe me, they were taking it WAY beyond its capabilities or intended usage.

54LPony Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 If it's a Clayton, they have stopped manufacturing dynos a long time ago! It looks like a Clayton (above ground) Chassis Dyno.

YZD263 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 These images were in local news in Quebec earlier this week. This happened in Sherbrooke Quebec on Sunday. In the news report, they mentionned that the owner was the one driving the vehicle during the dyno pull. Here is a link to the news report (in French), plus another video which shows the explosion from another angle. Fortunately, nobody was standing directly behind the dyno. http://tvanouvelles.ca/lcn/montopo/video/archives/2013/05/20130526-104818.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hawkins Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 and you sign a little paper that says if your car gets hurt there not responsable. that looked bad JIM HA.....I am sure that there are a LOT of Lawyers that will say "Thats not worth the paper it's writen on" "LETS SUE". Personally, I feel that, if you sign your name to a document, it should stand up in court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
