The battle of "Minsk" on the dyno: the original of the 76th year or a remake?
On the YouTube channel "MOTO KOR." something like this is constantly happening motorcyclesThey either put saws instead of wheels, or assemble all-terrain vehicles scooters, and these are probably the most decent examples. This time, the author decided to use such a science as physics and check which of the Minsk motorcycles would show more power. The participants in the experiment were the original Minsk of 1976 and its modern mod, assembled by the author of the channel literally from some junk. By the way, this project is still in the development stage, but already gives odds to many of its contemporaries.
For scientific purposes, not just anything was used, but a real motorcycle dyno. You probably could see something similar - the rear wheel is mounted on a movable shaft, while the front wheel is fixed in a special frame. A motorcyclist sits down from above (but not necessarily), and the performance begins. Smoke, maximum speed, engine roar - everything is here as we like. At the same time, a computer connected to the stand measures the power delivered by the motorcycle.
We will not spoil the results of comparing the two Minsks. Instead, we offer you to watch the video and find out who won the confrontation, or whether it was a fair draw. Everything is not so obvious.
