We built a water brake years ago but want to build an electro-magnetic (eddy current) design that is more mobile and compact. Most all designs out there are using either the Klam or Telma power absorbers for truck drive lines. We have been shopping for a year trying to snag some used ones. VERY hard to find because they are made outside the US.
Obviously we would rather buy used as the new price of these is HIGH! We can build a water brake for peanuts compared to the eddy current designs but want one non the less. So, anyone know where we can either find Klam or Telma brakes or know of any other mfgs in the states that we can shop for? We will want to buy a few brakes for our different requirements but for now, 500ft/lbs and 2000rpm would work fine. Could even use a smaller 200ft/lb unit too.
I am also going to post in the electrical forums to see if anyone has any ideas.
