I'm developing a new type of compression tester that can show and print compression curves, as well as analyze and compare compression strokes from different cylinders.

The tester can also interface with some software that I am writing so that it can be further analyzed.

I've included images below. I'm not sure how much time I should commit to this project, or if it's even worth completing. Can you guys give some input, ideas etc? It would help me to shelve or continue this device.

Comparing strokes from two cylinders - Note the ramp-up indicating possible bad rings on the slower stroke.

 

i would probably buy the setup. depending on what all is required. i dont have a laptop at my disposal yet, but forsee it in the next few months.

would be a very handy tool to have.

 

depending on cost that would be a REALLY COOL setup! Make sure it's USB

 

definatly cool!
Would have to have a USB ... have you thought of a blowby meter?

That looks like a very handy tool. If the price is right
Let us know how it turns out.

 

Thank you guys! It will be USB.

The patent process has been started.

 

nice work that looks great
