When companies test cars on those cylinders that run the car without it moving? What are they called? Is there a term for it?

You know, metal cylinders that cars tires rest over so that they do not move forwards, but stay still under power.

Thank you Mclaren7703, that was what I was looking for, and the dynamo-meter is not what I was looking for, I need a name. http://images.google.com/images?q=dynamometer&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi

sorry uber retard man, its my first fluther, and I am sure you were a virgin at one point too. can you not understand what I am looking for from my description? its a weird question, believe me I know, and just because you do not know the answer; does not mean you need to be a douche bag, and talk down.

Yeah, it’s called a dyno. Useful for checking a car’s power rating, checking engine, tuning, etc. etc.

@scrumpulate what you are looking for is is a dynamometer as @Mclaren7703 says. A dynamometer is a device (any device) used for measuring torque. Just because you put dynamometer into Google images and didn’t get a picture of what you expected doesn’t mean that dynamometer is wrong, it just means you don’t know how to use Google.

@scrumpulate i know exactly what your talking about. Your question was 8 thousands characters long. I just meant all that shit should be in the detail section instead of in the question.
