	dynamometrische rem		rem waarmee de prestatie van een motor (pk) kan worden gemeten door de tegenovergestelde remkracht te meten
	Pronybremse		Bremseinrichtung, mit der die Leistung einer Maschine gemessen werden kann, indem man die gegenübergestellte Bremskraft mißt.
	Prony brake		a braking installation which is used to determine the input force or horsepower by measuring the opposing braking force applied;
	frein de Prony

	principle of a Prony brake: if a brake band is applied around a rotating shaft, with a tensioning device and an arm extending one foot from the center of the shaft, attempting to stop the rotation, the applied force on a weight scale can be measured. ... The maximum horsepower of an engine is determined by achieving a braking horsepower equal to the output of the engine and basically stalling the engine.
