:Yes, it is a pretty appalling article. "is there a track wher they drive this cycle for 20 minutes?" No, it is done on a dyno. "Is it straight?" Yes "Are there any hills?" No "What controls are there for wind speed and direction?" No wind. The resistance curve of the dyno is set to give the same aero drag and so on as a car running on a flat track in still air.

Any wikipedia article is constantly in the making... As an answer to Greg, I added an explanation about the test procedure (They make those tests where I work, but I don't do the driving). Since I made those edit for the French version, my English might need some fixing. I'm not sure about how to call the test bench (French "banc à rouleaux"). I also don't know how to call the table (or chart) that matches speed to force at the wheel (in French : "loi de route", litteraly : "road law"). |

Revision as of 11:17, 28 January 2010
Does anyone know what this means?
is there a track wher they drive this cycle for 20 minutes?
Is it straight?
Are there any hills?
What controls are there for wind speed and direction?
Without these questions being addressed, the whole lot seems pointless.
Derek
- Yes, it is a pretty appalling article. "is there a track wher they drive this cycle for 20 minutes?" No, it is done on a dyno. "Is it straight?" Yes "Are there any hills?" No "What controls are there for wind speed and direction?" No wind. The resistance curve of the dyno is set to give the same aero drag and so on as a car running on a flat track in still air.
