Hi guys.
I'm interested in building a dyno to test modifications to small engines (lawnmower engines).
I've found this old topic:

But I'm having some trouble picturing the design.
I like the idea of using an electric motor and an electric stove.
Would the dyno be as simple as hooking the motor up to the electric motor, then running the electric motor through the stove.
By switching the stove hobs on till the rpm is constant I can get a wattage (and therefor HP figure), and by measuring the rpm I can find torque.
