Aaron has advised us that he is considering the possibility of a 4th patent relating to our 21st Century prony brake design.
Aaron has a vast knowledge of the dynamometer field, along with 50+ years of proven background in prony brake dynamometer design and manufacturing. He is always on the engineering quest researching ways and methods to provide improvements to his new and existing 21st century prony brakes.
New improvements to his patented designs include greater performance and servicing of lubrication fluid used in wet friction radial force prony brake dynamometers. Complimenting these improvements would be the expansion of operational maintenance hours and the reduction of current non-invasive service procedures. This combination will provide service and maintenance reductions while improving his existing and new patented designs.
While simple, he maintains the design can monitor and control the Coefficient of Friction of the dynamic operation, this serves as the baseline for major improvements. Using his accumulated engineering skills along with his dynamometer manufacturing knowledge and experience, he is contemplating these designs as major improvements to his newer 21st-century prony brake dynamometer designs.
As noted, his first three (3) 21st-century patents have an accumulation of 66 claims, which are technical terms used to define the subject matter protected within the patent.
